Škoda Karoq CarPlay installation, generation by generation.
Radio King does CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit on every Škoda Karoq generation we see: NU (2017–2021): SmartLink activation by coding on cars sold without it; a wireless adapter on the USB port where the unit is wired only; Facelift (2022 on): Factory-fitted; a wireless adapter on Swing cars that are wired only, and pairing or Android Auto faults sorted. From €200. Send your reg and we confirm the route and the price the same day.

FAQ
Škoda Karoq CarPlay: questions people ask.
Answers for Karoq owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppCan CarPlay be added to a 2019 Karoq without changing the radio?
Yes. 2017 to 2021 Karoqs have MIB2 units, and where SmartLink was not ordered the CarPlay and Android Auto function is in the software and is enabled by coding in under an hour. It is wired on these cars, so many owners add a wireless adapter at the same time. Facelift cars from 2022 have wireless CarPlay from the factory. Send the reg and a photo of the home screen and we check.
How much does CarPlay cost on a Škoda Karoq?
It depends on the generation. NU (2017–2021): from €200; Facelift (2022 on): from €250. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
Which Škoda Karoq years can have CarPlay?
NU, built 2017–2021 (MIB2 Swing 6.5-inch, Bolero or Amundsen 8-inch, Columbus 9.2-inch; SmartLink optional, wired only): SmartLink activation by coding on cars sold without it; a wireless adapter on the USB port where the unit is wired only. Facelift, built 2022 on (MIB3 Swing 8.25-inch, Bolero 8-inch or Columbus 9.2-inch; wireless CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory on Bolero and Columbus): Factory-fitted; a wireless adapter on Swing cars that are wired only, and pairing or Android Auto faults sorted.
How long does CarPlay take on a Škoda Karoq?
NU: under an hour; Facelift: about an hour. You can wait at the workshop or drop the Karoq in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit CarPlay on a Škoda Karoq?
NU: nothing physical changes — the MIB2 Swing 6.5-inch, Bolero or Amundsen 8-inch, Columbus 9.2-inch; SmartLink optional, wired only stays and the CarPlay tile simply appears. Facelift: CarPlay is factory-fitted, so we only add to it.
