Wow!!! We found ourselves in a pickle with wire setup videos from the seller sites. They were vague in the installation process. Your video saved our day!!!! Thank you for you detailed video

[@ryanbeaton1358]

Thanks for the video. Did you get the climate controls to take over the screen when you adjusted the climate controls?

[@ramyauto]

No it doesn’t takeover the screen as I thought it would.

[@user-pj5nj6pk1s]

can you play music from SD-card and use Google Map same time or it turns off when you switch to android auto/media interface? thanks

[@alexanderzankevich8270]

Could you please share the link where you ordered this one?

Hi, on the website it says that it´s not compatible with the non MMI models but it worked for you? I got an A5 B8 with the Radio Concert same System like you have.. did you make any other modifications to make it work? or was it just plug and play?

[@ramyauto]

Better send a message to the seller with car model and unit model so they send you the correct one I haven’t done any mods to the car

[@russellskot]

@@ramyauto hi Can you help me I haven’t instructions and password WiFi Seller---

[@d_0045]

How do you adjust the screen brightness, I've tried using the brightness settings in the carplay settings and the MMI brightness only adjusts the brightness on the MMI interface not the carplay screen. I've even tried the physical dimmer for the das lights. The carplay screen is too bright for driving at night.

[@ramyauto]

Settings can be found when you click the mmi icon from carplay, I can exactly remember, sold the car already

[@jorgealan997]

Quick question, where can i plug the reverse camera for this interphase. I am legit curious about it. I have never seen where it gets plugged

[@ramyemam_]

I didn't have reverse camera so didn't take this step, the harness has a plug for it I suppose, but never used it sorry

[@abdelmajid3506]

hi sir can you write me the sitto where you bought the carplay please thank you

[@SpookyDscary]

Did you use the the can connector provided ?

[@ramyemam_]

No my kit didn’t require a connector to the can, only to the AC controller which I don’t know why!

[@danielcamps7022]

Hi Ramy! I've just fitted this same kit but cannot seem to get the microphone to work. Did yours work with the stock microphone? Thanks!

[@ramyemam_]

Hi Daniel, yeah same issue experienced here, I had to connect the extra microphone that came with the kit later and it works. you'll need to unpair your phone with the car so you can take calls on the CarPlay itself.

[@colmohiggins7344]

Where did you connect the microphone ? Can’t find the connection

[@Ndlelex]

Kindly help out, mate. I'm about to order this from Amazon, but was told that the only way to have media audio on the fone play on the radio is through the AUX input (which my vehicle doesn't have), NOT through USB (wired), Bluetooth or wifi (wireless). Is this true? If so, can I use an additional Bluetooth AMI adapter to route audio through?

[@ramyemam_]

Do you have mmi connector in the glove box?

[@Ndlelex]

@@ramyemam_ Yes, I've got an AMI interface plug in the box.

[@ramyemam_]

@@Ndlelex There should be a connector with the kit to plug it into it, I don’t have MMI system, I have Audi Concert, I didn’t try this on MMI system, just make sure before ordering that you’ll get the appropriate one for your model as harness differ.

[@Ndlelex]

Thank you for the insight. I too have the Concert radio, it only has that AMI connector in the glove box and nothing else. I shall pass that info on. Thanx.

[@mattfry3851]

I installed this same system and it works but only with steering wheel function not on the main head unit. Also I can’t long press media or setup to switch between interfaces. Any ideas welcome…

[@dlapriest]

will you post the link to buy interfae system please

[@arturfink9269]

Hello. I can't turn on my module. I tryed every button but doesn't work. In my kit there is no small connector to the green plate under radio. It is possible this is reason?

[@yossidukarker4508]

Hi, i got a few questions. 1. When i try to toggle with the knob it also change my radio channels. How can i fix that? 2. I do not hear music or speaker voice through my Bluetooth, how do i fix that? Do i have to connect to Aux cable?

[@ramyemam_]

This is one of the downsides to this system, you must have Media selected all the time so music audio comes through and also any playing with the knob won't interfere with the car menus. If you wanna listen to Radio, best leave the radio menu on display

[@simmons9252]

Hi Ramy， Where should I buy ?

[@Alexiancau]

Did you notice any deterioration in sound quality? And was there any static that you noticed? Thanks!

[@hektr19]

My kit didn’t come with that green board how important is that?

[@flamingstone5]

If your Audi has Concert or Symphony radio, you will be needing that green board, but if your Audi has MMI, you shouldn't need it. Good luck!

[@AllEyezOnAsad]

does the original car microphone work?

[@ramyemam_]

No, you'll need to install the microphone that came with the kit

How to turn it on coz i cant after plug everything.

By holding the nav button on the steering wheel for few sec

[@ramyauto]

But make sure you select media first and then launch it

In most cases it should turn on automatically when you start the car
