Installing AppleCarplay on a B8/B8.5 Audi A4/S4 - (RSNAV)

Installation steps to install AppleCarplay on a B8 Audi A4/S4. Available for all Audi Models and Android Auto compatible.
RSNAV unfortunately seemed to discontinue the unit --- Here is a link to ECS which offers a very similar unit! Same install procedure!

I bought ECS unit you posted in your description. Let me answer some questions here to help with the parts i struggled with. Our cables are different. we do not do anything with the hvac cable. We instead have a wire that runs to the inner top left of the glove box (you must remove it). Youll see where the brown plug goes into a little black plastic unit. and stock wire goes to harness. The dip switch is different. I have the same model mmi as this video. They should all be up, and number 4 down. The big cable is same, and the video signal cable precedure is the same. There are some extra wires to stuff in there, as you'll easily notice theyre optional and go to extra cameras and stuff To make audio work, u must go to media and select aux source. Then itll work. Even in the background while navigating the cars stock system. To get to the car play, just hold INFO for 2 sec.

Stumbled on this in researching Apple Carplay for the 2016 A4 Audi Allroad I just purchased yesterday, same dashboard as the one you show. Incredibly kind and generous of you sharing your expertise and time! With 3G being phased out, already is in many areas, does this effect the carplay wireless interface unit which mentions that it's tied into 3G?

[@griffenaddie]

Hi! Thanks for the kind words- so the 3G being referred to is actually the MMI(Audi term for stereo) version. Essentially in older cars is was called 2g mmi, then in newer cars 3gMMI, then 3g+MMI. The wireless CarPlay will work great in your car! This system works with anything above 2Gmmi. (Typically 2011 and newer)

[@gray09r56]

This is awesome! Thanks for taking the time to work this through - now to install in my 14 S4. Thanks again man!

Have you had any problems with the RSNAV UNIT being so tight? Many people in other tutorials warn about the need to place them in a ventilated areadue to equipment warming.

Sound quality is very good! Same as oem Bluetooth OR aux

[@KaisUpp]

Hello! What did you plug your phone into to get onto the carplay screen? and does the carplay work if the phones unplugged?

[@adotkhan]

Hi, many thanks for your detailed video. Clearly I can see it has helped others users as well as myself when installing these retrofit modules. I wanted to check, I ordered my unit from Eurostyletunning, all works well except the sound in right speakers is low on sound, quality and bass from the left speakers. Is this something you have ovserved too? It creates unpleasant music experience and then I tried adjusting balance but it doesnt help much or lower sound quality. Any tips on this would help. Thanks

[@griffenaddie]

ah so sorry to hear that! No that is not something I experienced, but I ordered from RSNAV. sorry to hear that and that I can't help more.. I would check all the connections again?

[@nolanm2699]

Hey when looking at RSnavs site it says NOT FOR CONCERT or SYMPHONY or 2G MMI or 3G MMI Basic. I saw in a comment you said you only needed 2G. I have a 2013 Audi S4 and was wondering if it will work only having 2g MMI along with navigation? Thanks!

Hi, 2Gmmi I do not believe will work with this... Email RSNav to double check as you have NAV... So cant say for certain.. Sorry!

[@nugggetchicken2834]

i bought the ESC version. I hooked up everything and the screen is operational but the only problem is the buttons and dial on the center console stoped working. I have a 2011 s4 as well. Tried taking everything out and putting it back together but I got the same result. Any ideas?

[@griffenaddie]

@@nugggetchicken2834 that is super strange… hmm if you have checked all the connectors are properly hooked up- I would call ECS. They have great support

Does this RSnav unit affect sound quality? I just recently purchased a 2011 s4 and who ever had the car installed some janky aftermarket system that'll allow bluetooth connectivty but for an android and it makes the B&O audio sound like dog poop.

[@griffenaddie]

@@NVmk7 yup totally understand- with this specific unit it sounded great! I would say equal to OEM . I am an audio file!

just to be sure the one that you buy from (ecstuning) comes with two cables(red and white) like the grey and the yellow one(that we need to not touch)in the video, do we have to use both of the cables or just one (those who come with the unit when u buy it) ?

the system I installed here is wired rather than wireless. Just left the MMI to aux connected in the glove box . ( I think leaving the aux plugged in but not connected to anything is a necessary step)

Great video! Tho i have 2 questions, does the rear view camera shows on the screen when put in reverse on a carplay? And do you always have to connect your phone to the car in order to work? If so I dont see the use in these it will drain the phone battery and I could just put a phone in the phone holder while using stock audis operation, right?

[@taranjitsaini2148]

Would you say this is relatively the same process for a 2014 S4? My OEM mmi Module stopped working and dealership quoted me about 5k for a new module plus labour. Also wanted to ask if the 2014 s4 (b8.5) would require an AMI cable or not if you do know. Thanks

[@griffenaddie]

I believe the new RSNAV is bluetooth. You would need a MMI to aux cable in theglovebox but it can be attached to no phone and just stay there. if your entire MMI system stopped working it could be a deeper problem. Not sure. would try to get the codes and research the problem

[@remileroy9034]

Great video, very helpful! Did you disconnect the battery first before starting the installation? Some installation guides recommend it, as will also prevent you needing to clear codes (?) if the power is on whilst components are disconnected. The car manual however warns that windows me need resetting if battery is disconnected, so don't want to muck about with battery unless necessary

[@jinsongzhang7059]

Hi I’m at 10:17 in the video where you’ve just inserted the large male square plug from the RS NAV into the OEM female receptacle. You don’t show the work to get it in but say you “finally” got it in and jump to showing it fully inserted. I’m finding this extremely difficult to fit in properly as it is very tight. I even resorted to tapping it with the handle of a screwdriver hoping it would get it past some resistance point and produce the satisfying click sound but that only got it maybe halfway in and I also damaged a flange on the edge of the plug (not functional I think?) so I stopped that. Any tips here? On my RS NAV unit there is a rocker switch on both sides of the female end. Is that normal and do ai need to manipulate those to make it fit? Thanks in advance 🙏🏻!

[@jinsongzhang7059]

I managed to pop it in nicely and finish the installation following your example but now my bigger problem is there is nothing showing on the display. The climate controls are working fine which suggests that the RS NAV is working. Not sure what I can do 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jinsongzhang7059]

And the radio is working along with all of the buttons around the gear shift which light up when pressed but nothing showing on the screen.

[@mkartelmedia991]

Hey man, firstly thanks for a great video. I've never taken apart an Audi media console before but after clear detailed steps in your video I feel pretty comfortable with it. Quick question, are there any instances or varients of a 2016 q5 that this device doesn't support? I'm assuming this device takes audio through the aux input signal, is this dependant on a factory aux input in the media menu? If the q5 doesn't have factory aux option in the media menu, will using the Ami adapter simply allow aux to function as required for this device or does adding Ami aux cable require some sort of coding or activation? Thanks again

[@griffenaddie]

hey! thanks for the compliment. On Rsnav's website I see two options for a 2016 q5. so make sure you order the right screen size(7 or 8.3 inch). You can always email RSnav before hand to ensure it'll fit with your exact car. It does take audio through Aux, but you have to leave a aux cord plugged into the glovebox but just not connected to anything. Then it will all go through either bluetooth or your corded system. No coding necessary, you just use the oem "media" button. Your car is slightly different/newer than mine. apologies if I cant answer all of the questions. All in all, if you order the specific one for your car, there should be no coding necessary, just plug and play.

[@alomhm]

Mine is a 2010 A4 SE and does not come with the built in Nav that your car have hence there isn't any NAV button either. Also my mmi is Audi Symphony. How can I use the same rsnav as yours but in my car?

If that does not fix it make sure the bluetooth rsnav, phone, and car bluetooth are all synced up! 3. unplug/replug all the connections . although thats a long shot

[@anthonyhuerta1834]

It has to be an aux? Currently have a tune2air in there not sure if that can fix the problem. I was never able to connect to the tune2air in the first place that’s why I bought the rsnav.

[@griffenaddie]

@@anthonyhuerta1834 yes I would try to use a MMI to Aux and leave that in the glovebox. Is your phone connected to the RSnav/ Rsnav connected to the cars bluetooth properly?

[@anthonyhuerta1834]

The Bluetooth seems to be connected properly because I can skip the songs on my phone and I’ll do the same on the screen as well as play and pause just (no sound). I’ll try putting in the aux see if that resolves the issue

[@MrClimateCriminal]

How has the device held up over the years? Still working ok?

[@griffenaddie]

@@MrClimateCriminal I since sold the car- but over a year of using it- had 0 issues!!

[@k4suo1441]

This still uses the default Bluetooth module? or it has its own Bluetooth module for the CarPlay to work?

[@griffenaddie]

its own!

[@traderbarry9139]

How do I search for this kit, I need to buy the stuff but have no clue what to search for

[@giancarlogarcia5335]

Thanks for the amazing video bro I just installed mine but I have a question I don’t know why my music doesn’t play , anything I play make sound, when I get to Apple car play not even from Waze or KZbin or nothing how do I fix it ? 🙏🙏🙏 please help .. everything else works perfectly

[@griffenaddie]

Hmm. Make sure everything is plugged in properly and that you have a MMI to AUX cable plugged into your glovebox but going to nothing.. this is important

[@JX3200]

Nice detailed video! Does it affect your B&O sound system quality? Does the adjustments from Media still apply to when using CarPlay?

[@griffenaddie]

The sound is exactly like OEM, no difference. The media adjustments still work!

[@JamesTaylor-wp3bf]

It’s seems that I need the AMI cable. Do you have a video showing how that should be installed using this unit?

[@Jerrys_Mindset]

amazing tutorial and to connect your phone you just connect it to any transmitter? or by bluetooth?

[@justindutton2976]

wait so the carplay is not wireless ?

[@griffenaddie]

It is now wireless! Just at the time , my version was wired. Same steps - just no wire

[@stereode1uxe]

heya thx for this video....do you know if the newer version that is wireless uses the existing bluetooth and does it need a hotspot from your phone to work? my existing bluetooth is kinda jacked and i currently use a echo auto for bluetooth. Hoping the phone just ends up connecting to the rsnav box. Do you know? Also for the wired version you have does it charge the phone when plugged in>

[@griffenaddie]

Hello! from my understanding if you have a b8.5 (has bluetooth music) it uses the existing Bluetooth music that comes with the car. Although, if you have a b8(bluetooth phone calls but no bluetooth music) I'm not quite sure. If anybody knows, feel free to drop a comment

[@jeromenjuki2054]

Hoping you could let us know where you installed the Wi-Fi antenna in the end? Or did yours not come with one

[@griffenaddie]

Mine is the old version so it was wired and had no bluetooth! Although it is very tight I think you can squeeze in the antenna right next to the RSnav box!

[@jeromenjuki2054]

Thanks for the response. Will have to find somewhere as an antenna worst position is next to a metal box.

[@griffenaddie]

@@jeromenjuki2054 Yes, I have heard it is very difficult, but WILL work if you push enough haha

[@mhancock17]

so would this one work for the MMI 2G high? i have a 2009 B8 A5 with the radio controls by the gear selector

[@griffenaddie]

I believe you need 3g mmi

[@GotMeStumped]

Great vid. Just ordered this couple weeks ago. Curious tho if you need a AMI to aux cable? If so is it a male or female? Thanks!

[@griffenaddie]

hi - so on the version in the video - there was a recommendation to plug a mmi to aux cable into the port in the glovebox but not connect it to anything. For any units purchased now - I believe they are all bluetooth!

[@GotMeStumped]

@@griffenaddieoh perfect, thanks for the quick response👍

[@stevendubon7568]

Would this work on my 2009 Audi A4 sedan? Radio is completely fried after having to replace ECM.

[@griffenaddie]

should! just double check that the MMI version of your car is compatible on the rsnav site!

[@davidturacyayisenga1404]

What’s the name of the parts exactly? Thank you very helpful awesome

[@griffenaddie]

In description!

[@mjm7165]

Quick question...and probably silly but bluetooth calls, google maps, texts (receiving and making), etc all go through car speaks and system?

[@griffenaddie]

yes! everything goes through the car speakers like normal

[@lc3992]

Dumb question will this work on my 2016 A4 and how will the back up camera work will I need to install a new one or no

[@griffenaddie]

yes will work. Backup camera works just like normal. Put in R and the backup camera pops up

[@tianweiyou2953]

Just got mine installed following your video. Wondering is the unit always on even if the car is off? I have an AMI Bluetooth device that did that, which is really annoying.

[@griffenaddie]

I dont believe so no.

[@datspuree]

I know I’m late to the video but I was wondering if you can check out the link and let me know if that link is still for Apple car play because it says android but idk if it also works for Apple car play

[@benhamann9610]

It does

[@griffenaddie]

Yes I believe it does

[@chriskosin472]

I have the same set up but I’m having a hard time getting it into CarPlay. I was able to get into the CarPlay version once but can’t seem to get it back. All I have is the default resnav selection with google maps and various apps. I’ve only had the car a week so it’s possible I haven’t completely figured it out but I thought it would be easier to do. Stumped atm!

[@griffenaddie]

strange! Make sure you are selecting CarPlay. and holding all the buttons etc correctly.

[@GregBrooks-xh9ew]

Thank you for the incredibly helpful video! I just unboxed mine, and it has a ground wire on the large plugs for the head unit. Do know if I need to worry about/ground it somewhere? Thanks!

[@griffenaddie]

If there is an easy ground I would say go for it. I don’t Believe mine needed grounding and worked flawlessly!

[@GregBrooks-xh9ew]

@@griffenaddie Thank you!!

[@issamhaq4550]

With the wireless version are there any different wires or is just one less wire

[@griffenaddie]

Basically one less wire and an antenna that you have to put into the area as well. So it makes it a little tighter squeeze
