Many ClubTouareg.com members and Touareg owners using the Touareg Owners Facebook page have purchased Carplay/Android Auto units from a variety of providers in China and a re-seller in Australia.
In respect of the Chinese "JoyeAuto" units it would be fair to say that a majority of purchasers have been disappointed with:
1. Lack of detailed explanation of the correct wiring procedure from the re-seller/manufacturer (when purchased from Aliexpress/Ebay etc)
2. A less than satisfactory integration with the Touareg's existing hardware.
3. Purchasers have been left with the feeling of "really not worth the effort, trouble and $$$s"
I have purchased one of these units and have experienced the above points. I am currently working thru a Paypal resolution process to try and recoup most/all of my outlay.
BUYER BEWARE. THIS IS A HIT AND MISS MODIFICATION.
Naviplus - Australia unit appears to be the only unit to provide the advertised outcome. It does cost a lot more, but you get what you pay for it seems. This is not an endorsement of Naviplus, however, there seems to be more success when using their product, compared to the Aliexpress/Ebay unit aka "JoyeAuto"

Has anyone tried or heard about about this?
Volkswagen Touareg RCD850 RNS850 2010-2017 WiFi Wireless Apple CarPlay AirPlay Android Auto Retrofit – Joyeauto Technology
Obviously a lot of you have wondered if it was possible to install Apple CarPlay on the RNS 850, but there is only one that is mentioned - Naviplus (The company from Australia)
I know there are a lot of Chinese companies selling Android Auto/ Apple CarPlay retrofit kits, I just don't see enough information about this particular company (JoyeAuto). This is their AliExpress vendor page - ZHOYITO Official Store - Amazing products with exclusive discounts on AliExpress.
Earlier this year I installed an RCD 330/340 on my MK6 Jetta and it is AMAZING; love having AppleCarplay. Also it was crazy easy to install. A month ago I bought my wife a 2016 Touareg Executive, which has everything, EXCEPT Apple CarPlay. I really thought it was going to be easy to find a way to upgrade it, but alas, I have found nothing yet (like a lot of you).
Anywho, JoyeAuto seems to have good reviews for the units they have sold the most. Also, I have seen there are options for BMW, Audi & Mercedes from other vendors. So my question is, who is going to take the plunge and try it our because I am too scared to do it! Seems pretty legit though and I see a lot of similarities between their documentation/information and what is available from the Naviplus site & videos. What do you guys think?
Here are some of the videos I found.
