Volkswagen Caddy CarPlay installation, generation by generation.
Radio King does CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit on every Volkswagen Caddy generation we see: 2K (2004–2015): Android screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto in place of the RCD radio; the RNS 315 vans get the same screen, as the factory unit has no phone mirroring; 2K facelift (2015–2020): App-Connect activation by coding on MIB2 vans where it was not ordered, plus a wireless adapter; MIB1 and Composition Colour vans take our Android screen instead; SB (2020 on): Factory App-Connect on most vans: wireless adapter for the wired units, Android Auto settings and map or region changes on imports. From €200 incl. VAT. Send your reg and we confirm the route and the price the same day.

Ask on WhatsAppHow much does CarPlay cost on a Volkswagen Caddy?
It depends on the generation. 2K (2004–2015): from €290; 2K facelift (2015–2020): from €200; SB (2020 on): from €250. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
Which Volkswagen Caddy years can have CarPlay?
2K, built 2004–2015 (RCD 200, RCD 300 or RCD 500 to 2010; RCD 310, RCD 510 or RNS 315 after the 2010 facelift; no touchscreen on most vans): Android screen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto in place of the RCD radio; the RNS 315 vans get the same screen, as the factory unit has no phone mirroring. 2K facelift, built 2015–2020 (Composition Colour, Composition Media or Discover Media: MIB1 on early vans, MIB2 with App-Connect on most 2016–2020 vans): App-Connect activation by coding on MIB2 vans where it was not ordered, plus a wireless adapter; MIB1 and Composition Colour vans take our Android screen instead. SB, built 2020 on (MIB3 Composition, Ready 2 Discover or Discover Media with App-Connect; wireless on most Discover units, Digital Cockpit optional): Factory App-Connect on most vans: wireless adapter for the wired units, Android Auto settings and map or region changes on imports.
How long does CarPlay take on a Volkswagen Caddy?
2K: two to three hours; 2K facelift: under an hour; SB: about an hour. You can wait at the workshop or drop the Caddy in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit CarPlay on a Volkswagen Caddy?
2K: the display is replaced, but the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and the climate controls are kept. 2K facelift: nothing physical changes — the Composition Colour, Composition Media or Discover Media: MIB1 on early vans, MIB2 with App-Connect on most 2016–2020 vans stays and the CarPlay tile simply appears. SB: CarPlay is factory-fitted, so we only add to it.
Do I need to book CarPlay for my Volkswagen Caddy, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (2K and SB) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
