Aerpro AMDVW13 9" Multimedia Receiver VW Blaupunkt Amp 6 Model

9" Wireless CarPlay for Blaupunkt-Equipped Volkswagens White MFD Only, Retains Climate Control, Vehicle Menu, and Infolink SWC

Product Overview

The Aerpro AMDVW13 is the Blaupunkt-amplifier counterpart to the AMDVW12, covering six Volkswagen models fitted with the factory Blaupunkt amplified system and a white MFD (Multi-Function Display): Eos (2007–2014), Golf (2009–2013), Passat (2006–2015), Polo (2010–2014), Scirocco (2009–2014), and Tiguan (2008–2014).

Where the AMDVW12 suits Panasonic amplified variants across a broader model range, the AMDVW13 specifically addresses Blaupunkt-equipped vehicles and offers a richer retention package preserving the factory Blaupunkt amplifier, vehicle climate control display, parking visualisation (if equipped), vehicle menu, and full Infolink SWC functionality including the phone button. The Infolink SWC interface harness is a more sophisticated integration than the standard SWC harness, enabling the additional vehicle system retention.

The kit includes the AM905D multimedia receiver, matte black facia kit, Infolink SWC interface harness, SWC patch lead, amplifier retention harness, antenna adaptor, and a surface mount camera with a 110-degree lens, 6m RCA video cable, in-line reverse trigger, optional parking guidelines, and IP67 rating.

Features & Benefits

• Blaupunkt amplified systems — white MFD models only — the AMDVW13 is the correct kit for VW models with a factory Blaupunkt amplifier and white MFD; Panasonic amplified vehicles require the AMDVW2 or AMDVW12; green MFD variants are not compatible
• Factory Blaupunkt amplifier retained — the amplifier retention harness preserves the factory Blaupunkt amplified audio system; an amplifier trigger wire may need to be connected during installation
• Vehicle climate control display retained — the Infolink SWC harness preserves climate control readout on the aftermarket display, a feature not available with the standard SWC harness used in other VW kits
• Parking visualisation retained (if equipped) — on VW models with factory parking sensors and visual display, parking visualisation carries over to the aftermarket head unit display
• Vehicle menu retained — full vehicle menu access after installation, unlike the AMDVW12 which does not retain vehicle menu
• Infolink SWC interface harness — VW's Infolink-specific SWC integration retains steering wheel controls including the phone button, along with the additional vehicle system data that enables climate control and parking visualisation retention
• Surface mount camera included — 110° lens, IP67, parking guidelines — the included camera differs from a standard 720P AHD unit: 110-degree field of view, 6m RCA video cable with in-line reverse trigger, optional parking guideline overlay, IP67 rated; mountable as front, rear, or reverse camera
• HD camera resolution reduction — connecting an aftermarket HD camera will result in the signal being downscaled; the included surface mount camera is not affected
• Factory reverse camera not retained — factory reverse camera retention is not supported; the included surface mount camera replaces this function
• Wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto — connect over Wi-Fi for maps, music, calls, and messages; wired USB also supported
• 9" capacitive touchscreen at 1024x600 resolution — large, responsive display across all covered VW platforms
• Built-in DAB+ digital radio — digital audio clarity and expanded station access; AM/FM with RDS, 18 FM and 12 AM presets included
• Bluetooth V5 with HD Voice — hands-free calling, audio streaming, and phonebook access; internal and external microphone included
• 4 x 50W max output with 5CH 4V RCA preouts — supports additional external amplifier integration via front/rear/sub preamp channels

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the AMDVW13 differ from the AMDVW12?

The AMDVW13 is for Blaupunkt amplified VW models with a white MFD; the AMDVW12 suits Panasonic amplified variants across a broader model range. The AMDVW13 also retains vehicle climate control, parking visualisation, and vehicle menu — features the AMDVW12 does not retain — and uses the Infolink SWC harness for deeper vehicle integration.

What is the white MFD and how do I know if my VW has one?

MFD stands for Multi-Function Display — the small instrument cluster display used in many VW models. VW used both white and green backlit MFD units across this era. The AMDVW13 suits white MFD models only. Check the colour of your factory instrument cluster display; if it has a green background the AMDVW13 is not compatible.

Does this retain climate control on the new head unit display?

Yes — the Infolink SWC interface harness carries vehicle climate control data to the aftermarket head unit, allowing climate control readout to appear on the 9" display. This is a key advantage over the AMDVW12, which uses a standard SWC harness and does not support this function.

What is the Infolink SWC harness and why does it matter?

Infolink is Volkswagen's proprietary SWC communication protocol used in these models. The Infolink-specific harness carries not just SWC button signals but also vehicle system data including climate control and parking information — enabling the AMDVW13 to retain a more complete set of factory features than a standard SWC harness allows.

Is the included camera a 720P AHD unit?

No — the AMDVW13 includes a surface mount RCA camera with a 110-degree lens, 6m video cable with in-line reverse trigger, optional parking guideline overlay, and IP67 rating. It is not a 720P AHD unit and connects via RCA. It can be mounted as a front, rear, or reverse camera.
