Hi everyone, I'm coming from Macan Forum to bring you the SD card only full screen CarPlay mod ported to VW (thanks to lprot and MH2p Toolbox for the VW portion).

This works for:
MH2p_ER_VWG36_P2869 (for Discover Premium with 15" screen, 1152x592, Touareg, MLE platform)

If you are not up-to-date with P2869, you can update using the relevant update files MIB Solution (MH2p-Alpine/VW)

This will change your CarPlay/Android Auto to be full screen like this:

Download the VW mod here: VW-specific mod (I am not hosting it on my GitHub with the Porsche/Audi mods as it contains the relatively large viewhandler.zip.)

Download the old version of the ModKit here (does not work with latest ModKit): https://github.com/LawPaul/MH2p_SD_ModKit/archive/93c1d9244ed89dd0399a1afe1319b4418e3090dc.zip

Then, simply follow the directions on my site MH2p ModKit (format FAT32, copy mod kit files, copy mod files) and you're good to go!

Hi,

I tried this today, had to update to p2869 first which worked.

Got everything onto an SD and it seems like its doing the mod but then nothing changes. I checked the troubleshooting and think i've done it all like the instructions say. Checked the logs and get this message:

"Thu Jan 01 00:01:22 GMT 1970 ----- Start installing MH2p_CarPlay_WindowedFullScreen-main -----
Mounting /mnt/app in r/w mode...
error: HMI = H32.487.4 unknown
Thu Jan 01 00:01:22 GMT 1970 ----- Done installing MH2p_CarPlay_WindowedFullScreen-main -----"

any ideas?

I used another source and it works well. Full screen aAA and carplay .... Though the map always remains, ie downsizes when another app like Spotify is being used

Upgrade to firmware 2869 in your case.
The patch you're uploading is dependent on 2869, do that first

Thank you so much, it worked perfectly for me!
Is it possible to modify the interface to allow icons and text to be displayed in a more suitable size? Now everything is just bigger (which is already great) but the ideal would be to have the possibility of displaying more icons for example.

Hi mate
Tried the compass mod, to enable map in the centre screen when phone navigation is on, but doesn't seem to have worked.
The update appears to be going through, any ideas?

Hi Singh,
I was successful with the update and the system confirms the P2869 version.
But when I try to run the fullscreen update, it comes up with
error: Currently CarPlay fullscreen patch is ONLY compatible with MH2p_ER_VWG36_P2869 train

Is there something I need to reset or uninstall?
Cheers,
James

thank you for the quick answer. Finally I found it but didn’t realize that it will be in the folder MQB_Solution -> MH2P Alpine -> VW (if someone will have the same issue might be helpful) I am going to garage to try update soft then install carplay fullscreen mod in my Touareg 2020

Hi,

I have a 2022 Black Edition model with the correct head unit update, the correct ModKit and the VW Mod as suggested here... the entire update seems to go through as described but then when I open CarPlay it is the same small sized windowed version as always.

Any ideas what's going on?

Additional info:
1 - I have used ODBEleven to activate wireless CarPlay but despite this seeming to work (ie it sees my phone and asks to connect) when I try to connect it won't...
2 - I am using a wireless CarPlay dongle for everyday use, without issue.
3 - I have tried the wired connection with the mod installed but this doesn't make any difference

cheers all
Ben.

Check the files indentation on your usb or sd card, pretty sure it’s wrong. You should have SD_card: Mods/MH2p_carplay…/and then the files of the mod. So you just have to paste the mod folder you downloaded in the Mods folder.

I'm now trying to update my software to the MH2p_ER_VWG36_P2869 3G0919360xx version but despite having this on a fast SD card, I am not getting anywhere... The head unit says the card has updates on it but when I try to run update from card it just stays at 'searching for software updates' and never seems to get any further. How long should this take? (have left it for a good 10 minutes)

So, I updated my 20 plate Touareg to fw 2869 this moring. All worked fine. But when I added the Full Screen Carplay mod no changes happened. It looked like it did an update and had this in the logs:

----- Start installing MH2p_CarPlay_FullScreen-main -----
error: Volkswagen
----- Done installing MH2p_CarPlay_FullScreen-main -----
----- Start installing MH2p_CarPlay_FullScreen-main -----

Any ideas, please?

Joining the thread here to try and both update my firmware to P2869, and then run the modkit to get full screen carplay. 2019 Touareg V6S.

Does anybody have, or can point me towards, the instructions as to how to update the firmware? I have found (I think!) the file, but not sure on the process.
