Volkswagen Golf MK6 Head Unit Upgrade Kit (2009-2013) - 9inch Wireless Apple Carplay & Android Auto

A great modern upgrade to the stock system

This is a great upgrade to the old, stock Golf Mk 6 audio system, as I wanted wireless Carplay. Easy to install (no instructions in the box, but videos on the website, and it really was plug-and-play); just be gentle when removing the fascia surround. So far it has worked flawlessly. One happy customer.

Overall the unit is great. Has a few things that could be better. I am happy with my purchase.

VW Golf Mk6 2012 Head Unit + Rear Camera

I'll be honest, I looked in China and GTzone but chose GT as I figured I'd need customer support being an amateur. I was right. I'm in Qld. I saw some unhappy reviews too, so checked the make and model via email before buying. I received a response within 6-8 hours. Ordered and received tracking the next day and goods in 2-3 days. Impressive. I'm really a novice at this and the GT videos were a bit short for me. I searched online for other people's but some are very poor so I emailed for help. Next day I got a bit further but was not confident. I was pointed to Whatsapp (which I'd never used) and after a few responses and images received, I managed to get a clear picture of what to do. The diagrams and tips upfront are a suggestion. My head unit and VW antenna were a bit different from the video which I needed to check. Luckily, GT were patient. Attaching the rear camera cable to the unit was the hardest part for me as I had no idea. So, a new head unit, 2 USB's in the glovebox and rear camera attached but not mounted yet. Steering controls work fine, head unit software updated, iPhone bluetooth shows Google Maps etc. but did need Siri. Camera works fine in my hand. Music fine, even an audiobook. Summary: The wiring diagrams and connecting could be available upfront but all in all, great value with excellent customer support. I'm happy.
