Hi all - thank you for this great forum. I’ve looked and read through loads of helpful threads already!

Just picked up a 65 GTE with leather interior and Panoramic sunroof. It’s a great vehicle and I live driving it! Family love it too which is great.

I’ve searched and can’t find a good enough answer yet:

1) I’d like to add CarPlay to this vehicle. Dealers are saying it will be close to £1,500 to do this. Is there a cheaper/reliable way?

2) where’s the best place to get a roof rack/box installed? We’re near Hackney/London.

Thanks for any help!

The very early ones can't have CarPlay at all. Do you have a CarNet icon? If not, it could be an early model. I don't think £1500 is worth it. You might as well stick an iPad on the dashboard.

I've never got a roof box, but there must be hundreds of options for a Golf Mk 7.

Roof rack:
I reused my old Thule from my Mk6 Golf, just added the feet to suit the Mk7.
10 minutes to install/remove.
All set for a week up in The Lake District.
