Service bulletins for the 2016 Volkswagen Beetle
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

On cars with a single USB port, the Apple authentication chip is in the USB port. On cars with 2 USB ports (one front and one rear), the authentication chip is in the USB hub. CarPlay will not work from a rear USB port. For static connection issues with no faults, no cable issues and no debris in the phone’s cable port, swapping the USB port or hub with a known good part should be the first step in diagnosis. |
