Short question is this - is there any risk or downside to installing a 3rd party SD card to upgrade the app connectivity/nav in my Mk7 Golf GTI?

Longer version - I'd like to update the software to enable AppConnect and therefore use Apple Car play. It seems to be in the region of £200 for a VW dealer to do this, or £80 from a company I've found online. For this price they send you a pre-coded SD card. Can this be used for any unscrupulous activities or could it do any damage to my existing infotainment system? The car is out of warranty anyway.

Thanks
