Great video, thanks for taking the time to make it! This one in combination with Griffen Addie's got me through the process with no major hitches (even though my unit is slightly different).
Hello, good installation tutorial. I already bought the interface and O have to connect it. It looks easy with your tutorial but I have 2 doubts: 1.- Where did you put the interface box? Behind the climatronic or behind MMI head? 2.- Where did you take out the connection cable for the phone from?
Unai Castellanos 1. Bottom behind the MMI, it’s quite tight, you can see how hard to route all cables to finally pushed the head unit in and locked it. 2. The bottom cover has a little gap to route the phone cable through. The cover can be removed quite easily in case you need to replace the phone cable.
@@3dogs1monkey Hello, sorry to insist. I may not understand as english is not my mother language. You said that there's not much room behing the MMI, but I did not understand if there was enough room for the interface box, even it is tight or if there is not enough room. If there is not enough room, where did you put the box?
Thank you very much for this video. I understand everything you’ve done except how did you get the CarPlay cable from the glove box to the mmi and ac compartment? I’ll be installing in a 2012 Q5 that looks very similar to your install. Again thank you very much!
I own a 2012 Audi A5 with concert stereo system does anyone know if this kit works with my car? I haven’t been able to find a definitive answer online, thank you!
So everything seems to be connecting fine for the most part. The biggest issue I am having now is if my music plays normal, the GPS sounds come through way too loud. If I turn the volume down, it doesn’t allow me to turn it back up. I have to go into “radio” mode and adjust the volume there, then switch back to CarPlay. If I go to “media” mode to adjust the volume, it says “ not available” where the volume is.
@@esexavo yes. I updated my systems firmware and now can only adjust the volume down, but not up. I am wondering though, even when my AMI cable is plugged in, it’s not giving the option to chose external sound input like in the above video.
@@mikehughes4107 go to sound, then settings (on the original MMI) you would be able to adjust front sound volume for navigation, and the sound from music separately
Hi. Thanks for this. Your tutorial made it look so easy, but when I tried to do it myself, it wasn’t so easy! I noticed (when you showed the navigation), you are in the Bay Area. I already have the Carlinkit unit, would you be able to install it for me? And how much would you charge? Thanks again.
Flad Solo View I’m not sure but this one claimed unique-ad.co.uk/product/coming-soon-wireless-apple-carplay-retrofit-for-audi-a4-a5-a6-q7-mmi-2g-high-2005-2009/
I have purchased and installed. All was well but now my Bluetooth calls have an echo for my callers. I hear them fine, but they have an echo....any advise?
Anyone hat a black screen with white stripes after installation? When I start the mmi it works but after pressing the Nav button for entering carplay I get an blackscreen.
@@3dogs1monkey Thanks for your reply. So, where you have a port to connect phone? In my car I don't have any USB port, only one with AMI cable. Do you think is it ok? Or maybe I should think about wireless connection... What do you think?
Hi I have a 2016 q5 and just bought the kit. I can't seem to get the CD player out completely. I can do the key part and take it out about 2/3rd of the way. Seems the wires behind it are not allowing me to take it out. Any advice?
Would this work with Android Auto? And my car is a 2011 Audi Q5 but without a navigation, would this work or do I have to change the screen and more things as well?
This one is Carlinkit wired, now they have wireless one that’s much nicer, there are many companies that make this. Watch my CarPlay video for A5 B8, cheaper and works well too.
Can you explain a little more about what this system is? I have a 2013 that looks the same as what you're dealing with that I'd like to set up carplay with. What is all of the hardware you used?
That's all you see there in the video, all were supplied, important thing is to make sure you have MMI 3G Plus, the LVDS in the back is NOT pink and you should have AMI to get audio to AUX mode. Quite easy although some installation
@@3dogs1monkey Sure you have got the MMI 3g plus and Not the normal 3g? Thought 3g plus does Just have 4 Buttons arround the gearstick (Nav, Tel, Radio, Media). Normal 3g (Nav, Info, Car, Setup, Radio, Media, Name, Tel)
Great video. I installed this product today. I can get sound from everything except the Maps App (for iPhone). I have tried to check every setting I could and still can’t get it to work.
Mike hUGHES call the vendor to see if they can help you, does the sound come from the iphone? Phone Bluetooth is connected to the car BT? If you can make phone calls and text then the map should work, try google maps, waze
Hi, I enjoyed your video, i have a 2012 a4 with the exact radio, could you provide the link for the product? i am reading through the threats and i cannot find it, thanks
3dogs1monkey Thanks for your fast reply. I have the Concert radio unit which I believe will be the 6.5 inch. Can you help me to identify if this one would be the right one for my car. It’s a 2016 Q5. I just want to make sure I am getting the right one...

Douglas Santos yea, that said NO MMI, it should work but I prefer the WIRED over the wireless, i have both on my MMI 2G and it does cut out sometimes with wireless. Hopefully this one doesn’t since it’s right in front of you. Amazon you can return if it doesn’t perform.
I don’t use Android, but I tried the S10 on my A5 with different vendor but wireless, watch from 4:10 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vr15wNIwe3U.html
mahdid tarek all MMI 3G should work, ask the vendor for specific MMI 3G, either 3G or 3G plus, different system, 6.5” and 7”, the controllers are different. Make sure to have AMI for Auxiliary input.
@@MrWanted000 Sorry, you have to ask the seller for your specific MMI version since Audi does have 2 types - 6.5" and 7". I don't know and can't tell you for sure what yours is.
Hi! I was looking at your tutorial and noticed you’re in the Bay Area. I’m in downtown SF - could I pay you to install on my ‘13 Q5 for me if I bring it in? What’s a good email for you? -Max
