    I have been using the lead that came with the phone, a Sony M4. This lead has two barrel type blocks on it. There are four other different Android phones in the house. We have tried them all. Dealer service lady tried her own phone. She was the First Person from the dealer to even bother to sit in the car and try anything, after 10 weeks.

    Have you tried an iPhone to see if Apple Car Play works? We've had issues with Passat's and Android phones - apparently there are 2 different types of USB that go in the car - 1 for Apple, 1 for Android (why other manufacturers can make both types work with 1 USB, but VW can't, is a mystery).

    I think the Apple is Red and the Android is Green (colours are behind the bits we can see) - quite possible you just need the USB switching which is warranty work and a fairly quick job.

    Mentioned this to dealer this morning. They say that "only the IPhone has to be plugged in, Android phone works through Android Auto"
    They said, previously, that all phones had to be plugged in because the car uses the app directly from the phone.
    Contradicting themselves. It's just a joke.
