🔍 Check the compatibility of your 2018 T-ROC

Before installing Apple Carplay on your 2018 Volkswagen T-Roc, the first essential step is to know the type of multimedia system installed in the vehicle. Three variants exist:

MIB1 (Modular Infotainment Platform 1) : first generation system, not very compatible with modern modules.
MIB2 : Compatible with several Carplay solutions, boxes or software activation.
MIB3 : latest version on certain 2018 T-Roc models imported; Often allows direct software activation of Carplay.

🔎 To find out what system you have:

Press the ‘Menu’ button on the screen.
Access "Settings> System Information".
Note the software version (eg: MIB2_STD, MIB3_HIGH, etc.).

📝 To remember: This verification determines which carplay installation method you can use in 2025.
