Useful video, I had no issues installing mine into the car, but I have a few issues seen it’s been installed. 1. When I connect the phone via USB port the CarPlay kicks in no problem and all controls work with no issues, however I get no audio at all, as a workaround I’ve had to use my cars Bluetooth and just use the interface of CarPlay. 2. The wireless CarPlay part worked for a week and just doesn’t work anymore. I’ve tried resetting and forgetting the phone etc but it doesn’t work anymore. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, I have an Audi a4 b8. Currently have the concert system but it’s not touch screen. Silly question, but does this kit make it touch screen like this video? Or will I have to use the knob? Cheers
Hi There. Thanks for your message. Yes, this product will also add touch function to the Apple CarPlay/Android Auto menu. Can you send over your car details to our email and we can help you further? contact@unique-ad.co.uk
Any videos of the tools you need? Think it would be better with talking over it, no music and slower instead of sped up + the tools/bolts etc with them on the video
Hi David, the install video is for reference only. The detailed installation process in on the installation manual and special tools are included in the package too. Please send over your car details if you would like further information. Our email is contact@unique-ad.co.uk
Just used this to fit the unique auto carplay box in a manual evoque. No space for the unit by the gear lever (as seen here) so ended up putting it behind drivers side knee airbag. Does involve a bit more work removing the airbag while fitting but it is possible. Thanks for video. It helped me alot
I have brought a 2008 a5 with the bang and olufsen stereo, same display and centre console as the video, the car has an idcore kit installed… but i have no control over it, is there a key im supposed to press and ir hold to gain control over the system? If not ill be removing it for a Bluetooth dongle 😞
I recently purchased this from Unique Auto Developments for my 2016 and it went well and worked immediately. Just be conscious that you need a USB extension before you start the install. This is in the instructions but I think should be listed on the site (or just included in the kit). I do wish they also had more detail on where to place the mic in the video or instructions. Mine is located under the center console latch, works well and is barely visible. It's definitely worth the money and 2 hours of time.
Fitted mine at the weekend. running the wires was fiddly but the actual fitting of the unit and connecting the wires was so easy thanks to the fantastic instructions. Thank you guys

Hi... I think you're doing an amazing job... I wonder if you can help me out... You did a jaguar a few year's ago... I a wanted to know is how did you get the AC panel out... I've watched it over and over again but I can't see what your feeling for to realist it, I've been on mine for over 2hrs and still can't get it off... If you could help it would be much appreciated... Thank you in advance...
After doing this, i would highly recommend using blue tape on the nearby surface when you pry the plastic off. I now have lots of little scratches all over the dash from the tools (same ones shown in video) Should have know better
Hi can you please help me, in your Video you use a Adapter for the gatheway. I don’t have this Adapter, even if i had the Same CarPlay like you. Where do you have These Adapter?

Absolutely zero information on the products used. I managed to find the screen overlay.. but what do you use to plug in the ribbon cable. Is it just factor cabling or is there an adapter? Your site does not have this product from what i can tell. I just need the missing piece of what the ribbon cable plugs into.
The instructions the accompany this system are piss poor. It explains nothing, and covers only the most basic aspects of the installation. You guys really couldn't be bothered to include a diagram? Pretty sad
I purchased and installed your Apple CarPlay on my 2015 Jaguar F-Type R. My vehicle does not have the internal rectangular nav. device as shown on your installation manual & RU-vid video, but it still works reasonably well. Not sure why I need the USB and external audio cable though, as they don't seem to do anything. The only way the audio syncs is to then go through the mode four times until it accesses my iPhone as done without your device. Also, the screen reverts back to the factories after about 15 minutes. Keeps working uninterrupted though, just need to press the NAV icon/button.
Could anyone help me I have fitted one of these boxes and for some reason the mmi screen doesn't come on anymore by its self , also all the buttons don't work on the gear stick area , if I press media the screen comes out then goes back in , I have had the box in and out to double check all plugs is connected properly, which plug would be stopping it from working? Thanks
I have a 2008 Vantage which I would like to upgrade the entertainment system especially if its wireless. Where can I buy such a system and approx at what cost.
It would be good to have more detail on the step at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-evi5BCfv6_w.html. I've managed to get everything working other than the controls - connecting my phone brought up the menu and I was able to pair everything successfully, but can't navigate the interface at all. I'm assuming that I've not made the connection correctly.
Does this allow the use of the buttons on the steering wheel for the media and telephone? And if your car has a microphone does it use the existing inbuilt one?
Hi Nigel. Thanks for your message. This product is an Android touch screen product and all functionalities are based on Android. Your wheel buttons will work the same way as before. Any sound via the Android system will use the microphone from the Android screen. If you can send over your car details, we can then advise on the compatible product for your vehicle.
