GO fast by going slow – take your time installingGetting the Audi head unit out was a snap. Put the two keys in the slot straight side facing out All connectors have a tab and pull out. There’s two on the bottom, the rest are on the rear. Getting the removal keys OUT was a pain. Get GOOD quality keys and the removal shouldn’t be tough.Finding a place for the box was tricky, as well as working with the large amount of cabling in the dash but I figured it out. Day 3 now and there’s an occasional skip in music playback from Spotify and I had on disconnection from wireless android auto.Signal isn’t an issue as I found a hidden location for the antenna tucked right before the center console. It might just be a channel issue. All the stock controls I’ve tried worked fine. I have limited dexterity in my right hand and I actually find the rotary control easier than a touch screen for precision.Google maps works great! For the price this was a worthwhile upgrade.

Good product!Very good product. I drive an A5 2012 Audi and this is an big upgrade to my car. I wish there is upgraded radio for this car, I’m sure there is but no luck yet. So this helps a lot. I did blow a fuse hooking this up so I recommend unhooking car battery. SUPER EASY INSTALL!!! All I did was watch YouTube videos. If you don’t feel comfortable take it to an audio shop and they can hook it up. Again super easy don’t get overcharged. I almost paid $200 for labor to do this! 2 flaws!!! There is a slight skip in the music from time to time it’s unnoticeable but you start to pick up on it. Also it says to press the menu button for 3 seconds to switch from factory screen to CarPlay but doesn’t work!!! The music still works but you can’t switch. I have to turn the car off and on for it to reset again. Otherwise a great fix until I find an upgraded radio for my car.

Highly recommendI have to say I am impressed and delighted. I have 2010 Audi A5 with navigation that needed the maps to be updated every 2-3 years at cost of $450.00, a blue tooth that needed an afer market unit to ran A2dp because my car bt was only for calls. This little unit brought my car infotainment system a decade ahead. It even has wireless carplay/car Auto which is not in my Wife’s loaded 2019 Audi Q5 ( her’s is wired). The wiring and everything seemed to be of good quality and even though I am not mechanically or electrically inclined I managed to install it with no problems and with only Audi radio Keys and panels removal as the only toolsI should write a review 3 months from now and see what will happen because this seems too good to be true.One of the best upgrades I bought from my car.

Installation is complicated, but the final result is great.Installation is not easy, but doable. Took me a good 5-6hrs to get it done. You have to take out the air conditioner unit, the central vent, the radio, the glove box, and the AMI. I have a 2016 A4 and it was a little different from the video they have, so I had to use some common sense as well to get it completed. Tip: if you have an AMI in your glove box, you can use 2 thin nail filers to remove it. Just insert them in the slots and open them like scissors. Might take a few tries but they will release it.

Mostly works great when it worksI got this on sale for 200 bucks, and with a (moderately challenging) self-install it’s been worth every penny. At full price and paying someone else to install, probably not. Works as advertised except for two main problems: first, android wireless connection has never worked so I have to use it wired (which is fine), and second, sometimes it just doesn’t work. Mostly I’ve found this to be the case when it’s hot in the car (>85 outside), and for whatever reason it won’t recognized the wired connection at all. Problems aside, it’s a very good upgrade for my 09 A4. Next step is to install a backup camera – which the hardware assumes you have, and switches to a backup screen whenever you put your car in reverse. A minor annoyance, but one I’m happy to live with.

True WIRELESS CarPlay for 2014 Audi Q5I’ve been pretty skeptical of CarPlay retrofits, but this one actually works!Know that you’ll need to take off your glovebox and place the unit inside, and that you’ll need to pop the face off of the headunit and attach new ribbon cables and circuit board. If that doesn’t scare you, this is an amazing product.Took about 3 hours total to get the things taken apart, new parts fitted correctly, and everything put back together. Don’t make the mistake I did with trying to fit the box behind the headunit — there’s not enough space. 5/5 and would definitely buy again. Great product and works effortlessly, even with my base model Q5 with the very basic MMI 2.0.

lack of functionalityAfter install the module is working correctly but only the steering wheel buttons are functional, the MMI buttons does not work to control the module menus, so if, for example, the passenger wants to select a different song is not possible from the MMI buttons and only the driver can.

Do not make the same mistake I did. Just don’t buy.Do not buy. This is probably the biggest regret for a purchase on my car yet. I had paid a local stereo shop to put this in who is pretty credible and they could not get the buttons on the actual stereo to work. It would have all been good, but my TPMS light came on and I could not reset as my stereo did not work. Wireless CarPlay is extremely buggy and just not consistent. It really sucks that this didn’t work. Now I have to pay to take everything out.
