Audi Wireless Carplay Install...Easy DIY!!

[@jamesgranger9029]

Again and again, your videos are fantastically filmed, well done, another informatively explanation….

[@philscars]

Thank you so much!!

[@mujahidali1785]

Hi, just have a quick question. When connecting to Bluetooth, did you just click on the device through the CarPlay system and pair or did you have to do anything extra as some connect in a weird way. Thanks

[@philscars]

If I remember it was simply just to pair the phone with the device

[@mustangandson1618]

Nice one - I know the Mustang already has Android Auto / Apple Car Play but I recently installed the Motorola MA1 Wireless Android Auto Car Adapter to remove the need for USB cables - works a treat 😀😀

[@philscars]

Oww interesting! Might have to look at that!

[@thedigitalpeasant267]

I got my mmi box for my bmw i3 from bavarian automotive as well. Fitted it in and works well :)

[@antfooo]

Excellent video and great editing! Thank you for the tutorial.

[@philscars]

Glad you liked it!

[@DeRock401]

This is what I need. I got one with the display but had to remove the radio and glove box and display screen and it didn’t even work lol. This looks easy enough

[@Shawzlbot]

Keep the videos coming, very enjoyable.

[@philscars]

Thank you so much!

[@zetto814]

Great video! If I understood correctly, it doesn't seem like it is possible to be listening to standard fm radio while carplay is on for example for navigation? I don't know either if it would be possible to assign existing MMI button as a shortcut for specific apps/tasks for example the navi button for maps, Media for Carplay Media etc. Thanks

[@philscars]

I thinks it’s either full CarPlay or mmi! You can’t “share”

[@zetto814]

@@philscars thanks, does the retrofit module has a fm tuner?

[@philscars]

@@zetto814 no, but you can download your favorite radio streaming app and play that!

[@zetto814]

@@philscars thanks! What about assigning shortcuts to.mmi buttons? Is it possible?

[@saunders964]

Hi mate did u connect the ground audio to anything while installing thanks and did it work fine without WiFi antenna and did u need usb in end thanks

[@philscars]

I didn’t make any other connections except what’s in the video, you don’t need WiFi antenna if you don’t use the Wi-Fi and didn’t need usb either!

[@ardmanuk8536]

Hi Phil. Great video. Can i ask if google maps worked with this set up?

[@philscars]

Yea, it’s Apple CarPlay which has Google maps as an available app

[@jesusitogodoy]

hi, friend! I follow all your works from Spain and they are really fantastic. I have an A5 3.0 B8.5 with RS5 kit and I am going to install CarPlay and rear camera so I am going to follow your steps to give a modern touch to my Audi A5. That said, I would like to put LED light strips on the 4 doors only. I would like to see a video of yours soon, it would be of great help to all of us. greetings from Spain!!

[@philscars]

I have now sold my S5

[@jesusitogodoy]

@@philscars ooh that's a shame I only have a few more edits left to finish it. You are very helpful, thank you for your videos!! greetings

[@zorbathegreek192]

Hi pal, what are the details of the wireless charging mat you have installed? Cheers.

[@philscars]

It's just a Chinese special, have a search on aliexpress

[@mizanchoudhury9536]

Excellent video pal. How's the audio quality with the new unit? Does it support Bang and Olufsen?

[@philscars]

It sounds just as nice to me! Mine was the b&o system!

[@mizanchoudhury9536]

@@philscars thank you very much. Can't wait for my kit to arrive. Will definitely revisit this helpful video for when I install mine

[@Jeevessimon]

Hi, I have just brought 1 of these used on ebay. You mention in your install about setting to aux to get the sound coming through but I haven't got a aux input in my car. Should it still work or do I need to buy something to make it work? Thanks in advance

[@philscars]

I think you need to buy an aux adapter to plug in in the glove box

[@Jeevessimon]

@fun2drive thank you for the reply. I ordered an adaptor today because I watched another video and he said that you need one for it to work

[@kapibieg8765]

Hi, what settings for buttons 1-8 for mmi 2g high

[@jesusitogodoy]

Hello friend, I just bought an 8.8" Coika screen for my 2013 Audi A5 with 3G High nav, I connected everything perfectly like you in the video, but I don't understand why it doesn't give me information about open doors, oil, gasoline, kilometers, speed, etc., etc. Could it be because I didn't connect the 2 cables that go in the Glove Box? I thought it wasn't necessary. My car doesn't have a CD changer or anything in the Glove Box. Thank you very much for help.

[@gsbut]

How you finding this now it's a year later? Any gremlins or quirks? Is all audio from carplay dependent on having the MMI Media input set to aux? For example, can you listen to the car radio or MMI jukebox and have navigation instructions from carplay?

[@philscars]

Hi, I have sold the car now but it worked perfectly whilst I owned it. You do have to have it to aux and it’s one or the other I’m afraid

[@tongey196]

Does this play over bluetooth or do you have it plugged in when using CarPlay ?

[@philscars]

It works wirelessly

[@Dwiggy0]

Hello F2D! I've just come across your Audi videos and they are great! Keep up the great work. What are your thoughts on this after using it for a couple of weeks? I've been wanting to pull the trigger in one of these for a while now. I have a couple of question.. Is it limited to just car play or will it also run android auto. Can you add other app to it? (iHeart Radio and podcast apps) Thanks for your time.

[@philscars]

Thanks for watching! After using it for a couple of weeks I think it is excellent! I have had a few "drop outs" where Bluetooth lost connection for a couple of seconds, but then it comes back OK, apart from that, I love it, especially using siri for navigation entry! I'm sure this unit does wired Android auto, you add apps from the settings on your iPhone. Regards.

[@Dwiggy0]

6 months later and I've finally added android auto to my Audi. Thanks again for your video, it was a big help. Does your wireless connection stay connected even after you have turned off the car and locked the doors? My music/podcasts continue to play untill I'm out of range or stop them manually.

[@rumanahmed4232]

Will it fit my audi a3 2016 8v

[@philscars]

Sorry, I don’t know about that I am sure units for yours will be available

[@paulielisa]

Have u got link for this please

[@philscars]

it is a aliexpress chinese special, the links change all the time, just search on there for one and you should be able to find it

[@MarcFiume]

My unit stays on after the car is turned off. It’s draining my battery. Did I not install it correctly?

[@philscars]

Hmm it should be taking the power from the existing unit which should turn off with the ignition, I would certainly check your connections

[@zethembebenedictmbatha]

Have a similar issue, did you end up resolving it?

[@Jeevessimon]

Hi, can anyone help me. I have just plugged in a amazon firestick but its asking me for a wifi password on the android auto box or the audi interface but i havent a clue where to find either password to log on to the wifi? Thanks in advance

[@nickymarriott8400]

will this fit in my 2007 s5?

[@philscars]

If it’s a B8, then yes

[@nickymarriott8400]

@fun2drive thank you for the reply sir 👍

[@nickymarriott8400]

@fun2drive going to make myself look silly now, but how do you find out if its a B8?

Hi mate, great video. 👍🏼 Did your connectivity remain okay after keeping the Wi-Fi antenna disconnected? I’m due to purchase one of these and I’ll probably do the same as you, keeping the USB and Wi-Fi antenna disconnected. Cheers.

[@philscars]

it worked perfectly fine with no issues as I keep my phone in my left pocket which is right next to the unit behind you!

[@CroniqL]

Great then, cheers for the reply.

is this work with original screen? oem

yes, it uses the original screen

Hey mate I installed the car play module and it works great before I installed it I retro fitted my reverse camera although it still works I have to manually exit car play then it comes on is there a way so it does this automatically?

Have you watched my video on retrofitting a reverse camera? Did you do the VCDS changes? Mine works automatically every time!

[@lyndenapple291]

@@philscars I watched how to install it my camera works but I never did the vcds coding could this be the reason why I have to manually select camera?

[@philscars]

I would suspect that's the issue as the car doesn't know you have a camera installed

@@philscars hey I’ve done the correct coding everything works as it should but when I use CarPlay if I go into reverse it won’t go on the the reverse screen 🤔

[@Gabryel885]

Hello, why you didnt make the upgrade to MMI 3G PLUS? In my opinion its better than this chinese workaround and its oem :D Goodjob btw.

[@philscars]

Cheers! I just wanted apple carplay really!!

[@DJAdamDaniel]

The OEM system that car came with IS the 3G+. There's no OEM way to add carplay to a B8 - all the options involve either adding a box, or swapping the screen out

[@philscars]

yea, that is correct!
