Product features

Quick answer

The Aerpro AKVW8 is a 9 inch head unit install kit for the Volkswagen Amarok from 2016 to 2019, framing a trapezoid screen in a matte black fascia.

Steering wheel audio buttons keep working through the included interface, and that includes the phone button on the wheel.

Problems it solves

  • An outdated Amarok radio with no smartphone mirroring. A 9 inch trapezoid unit brings CarPlay or Android Auto, depending on the screen you pick.
  • Wheel buttons going dead after a radio swap. The SWC interface and patch lead keep them alive.
  • A missing antenna plug. Aerpro packs the adaptor with the fascia.

Pioneer owners should select With Adapter under the steering wheel control menu rather than the CAN Bus option. Pioneer CAN Bus adapters are not supported, so leave one out.
