Hi Dave - Just bought a VWA12S on Ebay in the states. It installed it in my 2010 Jetta (Golf) TDI Sportwagen and it works great, thanks in part to your great advice. I want to use Carista but need to decide which OBDII dongle to buy. Do I have to buy one from Carista or will the one Eonon sells work with the app? Love the channel! Thanks!!

Will watch properly on my break, but you reckon it's worth the upgrade?

2 weeks later, so you rhino the firm ware had been updated in New units purchased today? Or will i have to update myself?

Great video. I’m not very “electrical” and just wondering about the ISO harness to a 2015 T5.1? You seem to have a VW specific harness? Also, does this unit need wiring to the ignition? Sorry to be taking a lens of your knowledge. Thanks.

Is there anyway to have WiFi and android auto connected at the same time so I can switch between the 2 seemelessly? Thanks again, fantastic content and I am loving the headunit so far!!

Something isn't plugged in correctly 🤔 check all connectors that run from the canbus decoder to the unit.

G'Day Dave Another question. I have had issues getting a wifi connection for data from my phone as a hot spot. I have been able to get that connection now by turning wifi off but it doesn't seem to support a wifi and bluetooth connection similtaniously?? Is this the case for you? How do I get data and Phone resources similtaniously without having to physically switch between the two functions. I'm hoping im missing something simple here. Cheers.

When you open Android auto it automatically turns off WiFi....its the same on all android units running android auto. Yes I to have to physically turn WiFi back on after closing Android auto.

I can not find factory settings in my head unit but it is vwa12 any clues why?

Thanks for the reply. My stock radio had it but after following your video I don’t have the part to fit it to the new unit. Sound is still pretty great. Any issues with leaving it?
