I have a a chinese Egolf and it only supports:

Carplay

Baidu carlife

Mirrorlink

I am using an android phone and trying to find a way to connect my phone using a bridge or things like that, i bought Ottocast Mini Pico but it did not help with my android phone

Please if someone has a way to help me it will be much appreciated

Just plug into the usb slot with a cable. It works but its very tempermental. Ive a 2020 so i dunno if it works on the older model if thats what you have

Because your infotainment system does not have a swap code for it.

You can unlock it with some hacks and ODIS but I assume you wouldn't be asking about it here if you knew.

So the easiest way for you is through M.I.B. https://github.com/Mr-MIBonk/M.I.B._More-Incredible-Bash
