Unboxing and Installing 10.25" Android Touch-Screen from AliExpress on my Audi A4 B8 (2G J523)

Hello guys,
I just wanted to let you all know that there is the 3G version for the systems with factory navigation and the 2G version for the non factory navigation like mine. If you have any specific questions you want answered leave a comment down below and I will gladly answer it.:)
Total Cost: Apx $1600
*I could've avoided $830 if a professional installed it in the first place.
*Amp setup I opted for can handle a subwoofer when the time comes to upgrade, so there are cheaper options to get around the choppy audio issue.
Android Screen with required things: apx $474
Amp setup: apx $327
Computer reprogramming: $650
Tow: $180

Thanks for sharing man. That's what I was afraid of. That the internals will be cocky with the new tablet

[@Fellipejorge]

Great man! Thank you for your vídeo! I can see your frustration and how hard it is to do it. Anyway thank you for your tips!

[@federicoberrino211]

Sorry for your troubles....I was wondering on whether you were able to release the glove box....I came to the same point an I am sure I released any possible bolt but while the right part is sagging the part closer to the central console does not move an inch exactly like in your video. Didi you find how ? I have e cabriolet 2015 MMI. Thank you in advance for any suggestion

[@Adam.Anaconda]

Where did you buy the carbon fiber dash trim, with the quattro badge?

[@TeeFat]

Did you watch an installation video before starting yours? It seems your problems were due to a mistake you made. Also, you may have to select the camera in the settings.

[@licup23]

How did you switch the Home Screen bro? I’ve been trying to do that but can’t find it anywhere.

[@jaynyvonne1]

So all in all, How much did this system cost???

[@felipem7690]

Can you pls tell me what’s this gauge app? I don’t have it on mine

[@egg979]

I’ve been thinking about one of these pretty hard

[@mizanchoudhury9536]

Same but after hearing all the issues he's had with costs etc I'm kinda apprehensive

[@CarsandCoding]

That’s crazy that a computer got fried and you had to rewire the whole speaker system! I know the car will go into protect mode if you disconnect the hazard light button with the battery connected. But you can reset it with VCDS easily. Sounds like you had more issues than only that…. Installing only the backup camera is pretty standard so that is frustrating you could not get that to work. I’m not even tempted to try this after watching! I’ll stick with my backup camera on original small screen and my phone in a dollar store mount. Yikes! Thanks for the video!

[@williamjackson-]

Can you disconnect the hazard light button if it has no airbag button on it?

[@atr25hkl]

Will it work on Audi chorus radio?

[@thedramamaker]

Is hazard button easy to reach?

I bought the same android unit for my car, what What was the cause for the component protection mode to appear? When you turned on for the first time it looked like it worked fine.

[@Giovardo.gallegos]

So basically I turned the car on and the screen worked fine and the car turned on but I had no audio. I started testing fuses and wiring and everything was checking out. I ignored the audio issue at that moment because I thought it was just something I had to adjust in the screen itself so then I proceeded to completely remove the glove compartment to pass the cables into my glove box from the back. The car stopped wanting to turn on and wasn’t letting me go into accessory mode after I removed the glove box. I spent several days testing and checking every possible thing that could cause the car to not want to turn on and I even went to buy a new battery just in case I killed it. After all my efforts to try and get the car functional again I put my ego aside and sent it to get diagnosed by a professional and he told me I had fried the old computer. He then proceeded to get me a new computer and reprogrammed it to accept the android screen which is the $650 he charged me.

[@paifan8785]

good morning ! a help my friend .I did the installation but it only plays radio .when I connect to Bluetooth no sound is heard and neither is the tachometer. thanks

[@Giovardo.gallegos]

That sounds like the problem I was running into. Have you tried going to the sound feature and changing the source to “external source”?

[@Lionauto-ul]

hello please help I bought a CarPlay module from you for my Audi a4 b8.5 2014, everything works but the air conditioning does not appear when I am in module mode (CarPlay), every time I want to see the air condition level I have to switch back to the mmi menu.

[@santasthott3558]

I think mine works in CarPlay-you just have to click the ac button first instead of just turning the knob

[@Widowshijo]

How do I connect to the Bluetooth ?!

[@BigMotorLover]

Mine is a 2014 S5 that says 2G on the screen but has factory GPS

[@Lovely_planet]

do you have VCDS??

[@Giovardo.gallegos]

No I do not

[@Lovely_planet]

Aw bruh. You gotta get it. You will save yourself so much time and money dealing with others. Stick with Audizine too.

[@kondek7710]

I see that carplay does not work very smoothly

[@xo121w]

U shudnt have switched car on before u connected everything and keep car key out.. And maybe even disconnect battery

[@renoysilburn4037]

Manz just giving away money at this point

[@younessachahboune8418]

I have installed the device in my car battery is always discharged My car doesn't turn on Any one had the same issue ?

[@theDesiderata84]

aaah man feel sorry for an extra money you have had to spend! But looking at you fighting while removing air vents were painful enough lol You should have watch some video instructions on youtube... and taking the headlining off just to put rear camera wire ? lol who does that

[@albanos.13]

for back camera to work you only had to change a setting.. but this video is 10 months old so I’m too late to tell you now

[@CC-mj3zq]

Lol so not with the trouble but good luck.

[@hrdcoreme]

Hell no it’s not worth it but figured it out

[@user-gn4mh5fd3i]
