Product Overview
The Aerpro AMAVW5 is a 10" multimedia receiver upgrade kit designed for Volkswagen Amarok (2016-on), Beetle (2015-2016), Caddy (2015-2020), Multivan (2016-2019), Tiguan (2015-2016), and Transporter (2016-2019) vehicles fitted with the factory MIB-PQ unit. The kit is built around the Aerpro AM10X Multimedia Receiver, which features a 10" 1024x600 capacitive touchscreen, wireless and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, built-in Bluetooth V4.2 with A2DP, AVRCP, HFP 1.6, and PBAP profiles, AM/FM tuner with RDS, dual rear USB inputs, 50W x 4 maximum power output, 8-band graphic EQ with time alignment, and 4V 5-channel RCA pre-outs including a subwoofer output.
The included Infodaptor Interface harness enables vehicle information including climate control and parking visualisation to be displayed and accessed on the aftermarket head unit, retains steering wheel controls, the factory amplified system, parking tones, and vehicle menu access. The Interface connects to the rear camera input on the AM10X; output for this kit will be low resolution.
Factory reverse camera retention requires the Aerpro APVVW03 camera retention adaptor (sold separately, not included). An ignition stabiliser (Aerpro APIGNSTB, sold separately, not included) may be required for stop-start models. The factory Bluetooth module fuse may need to be removed for the phone button to function correctly after installation. Tiguan (2015-2016): the kit partially covers the hazard button due to the size of the 10" head unit.
