Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can be added to the Volkswagen Crafter by replacing the factory radio with an Android touchscreen that drops into the original dash opening and keeps the steering wheel controls. This Volkswagen Crafter was upgraded at the Radio King workshop in Dublin 11, and the same kit fits 2008–2016 models.
What was fitted on this Volkswagen Crafter
The factory radio came out and an Android head unit went in its place, supplied as a kit for the Volkswagen Crafter with the model-specific fascia and a plug-in harness, so nothing on the car was cut. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect the moment you get in, the steering wheel buttons are kept, and the unit has a reverse camera input and built-in GPS with offline maps for the roads where coverage disappears.
- Apple CarPlay & Android Auto — Wireless smartphone mirroring for maps, calls, music and messages on the main screen.
- Modern touchscreen — A crisp, responsive display replaces the dated factory unit: Bluetooth, USB and streaming built in.
- Clean, tidy install — Wiring loomed and hidden for a factory-style finish: no loose cables on show.
- Fitted in Dublin — Professionally installed and tested at our Dublin workshop, with a workmanship warranty.
A van cab is loud, so the handsfree microphone is positioned away from the unit and aimed at the driver, the same way we do it on camper van radio upgrades: the person on the other end hears you, not the road.
Will it fit your Volkswagen Crafter?
The kit fits 2008–2016 Volkswagen Crafter models. Trim levels, factory amplifiers and the shape of the dash opening changed across model years, so the quickest check is a photo of your dashboard and steering wheel sent on WhatsApp with the registration. We confirm the exact kit, and whether a steering wheel interface or an amplifier adapter is needed, before you book. The same kit is in the shop as the Volkswagen Crafter Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Radio, supply-only or with fitting added at checkout.
Price and fitting in Dublin
The current price of the Volkswagen Crafter Apple CarPlay & Android Auto Radio is on its product page, with the 2 GB IPS and 4 GB QLED specs side by side. Fitting at our workshop in Dublin 11 is added at checkout and usually takes a couple of hours, so the car is back with you the same day, with the phone paired and everything tested in the car. Every unit carries a one-year warranty and after-sale support from the people who installed it. Supply-only orders ship anywhere in Ireland.
