Hi Guys,
I Have just bought my first Rocco and I'm after some clarification to do with car-net and android auto.
Do you need both in order for the android auto to work? Are they worth it? How much are they?
I cant find much info online, so any help would be appreciated
Cheers.

Don't know about car net, but Android auto is definitely worth it. VW will charge about £200 to activate app connect (Android auto)

For that money you could get a decent android headunit loljpearce12#77# wrote:Don't know about car net, but Android auto is definitely worth it. VW will charge about £200 to activate app connect (Android auto)

Another route is to get the RCD330G+ R340 units from Aliexpress. They're OEM VW units intended for the Indo-China markets.
Good
- they're OEM
- Cheap at £160-200
- Android Auto / CarPlay compatible
- Bluetooth (with no need to run Mic)
- Reverse camera compatible (with their camera)
- OPS compatible (may need coding)
Bad
- No RDS
- Lose Climate Control display on HU
- Can't use OEM camera (far as I can tell)
- No compatible with MDI
- Front facing USB port, needs disassembly and soldering if you want to relocate the port. (But do-able)

!NEVER EVER! change a Composition ore Discover media to something else.
This Radio gen is unrivaled....
I can do Display in Cluster, Android auto, Carplay, and Carnet.
!Dont change to a cheap ebay android unit ore RCD 330!
Yust pay the 200 to get it activated, it totaly worth it
