Radio King looks after CarPlay and Android Auto on the Volkswagen ID.4: launch cars on early ID. software have wired App-Connect that we make wireless with an adapter, and the 2024 facelift has wireless CarPlay from the factory, so there we sort connection faults and maps on imports. Send your reg and we confirm what your car needs.
The head unit decides the route, and it changed with every generation. Find your years, then pick the service above for what we fit and from what price.
| Generation | Years | Body | Factory system |
|---|---|---|---|
| E21 Launch cars | 2021–2023 | — | 10-inch Discover Pro on ID. software 2.x and 3.x; App-Connect wired on early software, wireless after the 3.0 update on most cars |
| E21 facelift 2024 update | 2024 on | — | 12.9-inch screen on ID. software 4.x, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory |
Generation-by-generation guides first — the ID.4 jobs we see most. The rest of the workshop's services are done on every Volkswagen too.
Book the install, let us photograph the finished car for a case study, and you get a discount on the fitting. Every ID.4 owner after you gets a real example to look at.
Real Volkswagen cars from the Dublin 11 workshop — ID.4 first, then the rest of the range: what was fitted and what changed on the dash.
Car-specific screens, CarPlay boxes and activations for Volkswagen: supply-only with delivery across Ireland, or fitted at our Dublin 11 workshop.

Answers for ID.4 owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsApp2021 to 2023 launch cars, nearly always to make App-Connect wireless or to stop it dropping out, and imported cars that need the map region and language changed. The 2024 facelift with the 12.9-inch screen comes in for connection checks only.
The ID.4 pages here cover CarPlay and Android Auto only. Other work on the ID.4 is quoted after we see the car; anything electrical is wired on the 12 V side, never from the high-voltage system, with a low-voltage cut-off to protect the 12 V battery.
E21 — 2021–2023: 10-inch Discover Pro on ID. software 2.x and 3.x; App-Connect wired on early software, wireless after the 3.0 update on most cars. E21 facelift — 2024 on: 12.9-inch screen on ID. software 4.x, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory. Not sure? Send the reg on WhatsApp and we tell you the generation and the route.
CarPlay: Wireless adapter or software update on 2021–2023 cars, factory wireless CarPlay on the 2024 facelift. Reversing camera: Factory-look camera on the factory screen with guidelines, coded in where the car supports it. Car radio: Larger Android screen with the factory buttons and amplifier kept, where the original display is too small. Ambient lighting: Ambient LED kits in doors and dash, extended factory ambient on newer cars, app controlled. Speakers: Plug-in door speakers and tweeters, factory head unit and amplifier kept, no cutting. Parking sensors: A rear-only kit of four bumper sensors with an audible warning, no screen display. Dash cam: Hardwired on the 12 V side with a cut-off for the small 12 V battery, parking mode included. Subwoofer: Under-seat or boot subwoofer on a DSP amplifier fed from the factory unit, boot space kept. Soundproofing: Doors and floor treated with butyl and foam, trim refitted without marks.
CarPlay: under an hour for activation, two to four hours for a box or a screen. Reversing camera: two to three hours. Car radio: two to three hours, usually the same day. Ambient lighting: two to four hours. Most ID.4 owners wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.
E21: the 10-inch Discover Pro on ID. software 2.x and 3.x; App-Connect wired on early software, wireless after the 3.0 update on most cars stays and we add to it. E21 facelift: the 12.9-inch screen on ID. software 4.x, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto from the factory stays and we add to it. Steering-wheel buttons, factory amplifiers and cameras are carried over on every route; the only route that changes what you see is an Android screen, and even then the controls are kept.
Send the reg or the year on WhatsApp or the form below and we confirm the generation, the route, the price and the next free slot. Every job carries a one-year warranty on the work, done at our workshop in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.

Excellent service from Radio King. They supplied and professionally installed a 70mai T800 three-channel camera system in my taxi, covering the front, rear and passenger cabin. The wiring was fitted neatly and everything was fully…
