Great video. Just installed this on my A5. I had such a tough time removing the glove box. I had one extra screw behind the cd changer that no one else online seems to have. Apart from that it was pretty easy thanks to this video. The screen is fantastic, super fast and defo takes off 5yrs from the age of the car. Would recommend
I ordered mine as well I got the 8ram 12.3 screen and running on android 12 …I all ready had installed the 4ram android unit mounted like the factory one ..can’t wait to install the 12.3 screen..looks nice ..great job on the video 🤘🏽🫵🏽🤘🏽
Great video! I’m impressed that you answered so many comments! Lol! You also kinda flew by that install. I was trying to keep up with what wire went where. Hahah ✌🏻
I’ll be buying this soon, are you able to make a video showing a little bit more about the carplay? and things like the automatic switch for reverse Cam. Thanks a lot
Great video, just fitted one of these for my wife today, look amazing and a great upgrade to the car. Your video is good, you should cover the air bag switch and the bezel a little better but your a great advert for your business. If I was over there I’d have bought from you based on this and your support. Well done fella 👍
Hello james, did you get the air bag switch to work? Ive installed it and now my airbag light stays on, on the dash. There is a airbag plug on the old trim but not on the new, what can be done here, thanks.
@@cihados having the same issues, but mine has a connector on the back of the frame, but I'm unsure why there's a y splitter for the hazard/airbag when there's only 1 input.
@@StuartLaw81 i figured it out. You have to take the plug out of the old trim and connect it to the new one and then hide it behind with all the other cables. Your airbag light on the dash would proberbly be on, so you have to clear it with carly or some other adapter.
@@cihados I've done that, tried it I did manager to clear the error (without using the adapter cable), but it flagged up an issue with the airbag still when using my obd scanner. So it's certainly not right yet. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Great video. I just bought one and I am ready to install it. I have just a question. Did your car have back up camera and did it work fine after the installation. thanks
Just saw your video; and thanks for sharing. Awesome mod. I've got an Audi A5 (B8) Coupe Year 2009, it is RHD like yours; with the Audi Symphony interface. Will this work for my Audi? Superb job done & I love how it modernizes the B8 era to the new gen. My A5 (2009) does not have Navigation.
Great video, My local Audi dealer just did a navigation update on my wife 2011 A5. The problem is the Nav now has a "unable to read data" message. They want to replace my MMI unit for $4K. My question to you is, does your unit use the Audi software for the Nav or the apple and or android software?
This looks so cool omg can’t wait to do this on my A5 some day. But if i buy this android screen would i need the Apple CarPlay for Bluetooth, because my 2009 A5 does not have Bluetooth?
This is pretty cool. But idk about this over systems that use the stock screen. This looks nice at first, especially having a bigger screen, but it’s also really big, sticks out a lot, won’t have shade from sunlight both for readability and lifespan, and makes it more obvious to others what you’re doing. Plus it’s about $200USD more expensive. It’s a tough call cause there’s not many options and this has better integration with the stock system, and it’s so flashy that it might help sell the car down the line. Just bought a 2015 Q5 myself before knowing you can’t just upgrade the stereo/screen with a normal aftermarket one like most cars. So if you have basic radio/CD and that’s it, you’re stuck with it except these few specialty systems.
hello,we have an auto modification workshop ,we also deal with old cars carplay installation and activation,and wholesale some interior and exterior aftermarket parts,is there any chance for cooperation
Question, how did you connect the airbag when you removed the trim? As on the Audi A4, there is an airbag connection part of the hazard lights. However, there’s no airbag connection on the new trim piece.
When you said you didn't connect the camera might be a stupid question but does it still work and beep normally when you shift into reverse? No matter which mode you're in ?
@@ryanmtb8630 I ordered it and they sent it to the wrong place and never even told me it was delivered and then denied doing anything wrong and never sent out a replacement for me so I got a refund and ordered from somewhere else. I'd stay away from this one specifically
Sweet mod, thinking of getting this for my A5 , but only thing I noticed was the hazard lights button..it's hidden from the big screen..is still easy to access?
I purchased this Android screen about twenty months ago from Nathan at The Fitting Bay, it was a professional and pleasant service from Nathan but the screen itself was nothing but problematic, as I will explain. For the first screen, there were two fitted overall, my Samsung S22 was paired to the screen, and it was working, but on the way home, it disconnected from the internet so that idea was no good so with speaking to Nathan decided to use a sim card at a cost to me and that disconnected also . I informed the fitting bay of the issue, so I returned, and a new screen was fitted, it was paired to my S22, and that problem was sorted, but the beginning of more. The screen freezes at least once a day so I permanently carry a paper clip to reset the unit. if, for some reason, I have to pair my phone again, it is impossible for me or anyone else I know can pair it so back again to the fitting bay, about 1.5 hrs each way and Nathan, after a lot of trying, gets it paired even going to the extent of driving away from the workshop to the road to see if that helps. When I start my Audi I select apps and then select ZLINK and if it doesn't freeze a notice appears saying, unlock your phone, as I am driving I unlock my phone and I have music, maps and phone, that's all I use it for. Another problem is if I am talking on the phone and I select reverse that's the end of the phone call. As you can see I am not happy with this screen which cost me about $1200.00 , as soon as I find a replacement I will do that and cop the financial loss and put this one in the bin.
I think the oem style nav looks better. It just looks like a tablet now. Like in the B9 a4. What do you think is the better system to use daily? This one or the one on your S4?
Hmm I really love this screen and I’ll probably put one in the S4 but for daily use carplay on the OEM screen is more than enough, it’s the only thing I use in that car apart from car settings etc
Hey, I installed the same kit, looking at your video. Everything is great. But have a question: when I'm at the original mmi screen (half screen) I have a speedometer. Is it possible to change this. On yours it shows empty lane. Thanks in advance, keep up the nice videos👍
Do you think you could do a more in depth tutorial on how to install this? Like no sped up parts and just a full on explanation? I would totally buy this if you made that
Yeah man, but also I am sure many people can vouch. Whoever buys from us has almost instant technical support regarding install, questions, setup and whatever else they need :)
What a killer video. Thank you. I have an Audi 2010 A4 wagon prestige. Will this transition work here? Also, Will this work for iPhone/apple products or do I need to find another product? Thanks again
Thank you :). Is your Audi an MMI “Audi Multimedia” system or is it concert / symphony? Short answer is yes to both. Will work in your car and supports iPhone of course
Got a 2017 a5 convertible. Interior looks exactly the same as yours, however on the website 2017 isn't covered by the 10.25inch screen. Is that because the wiring is different or will it still work? Cheers
@@chrys00 So is mine. I find turning off loudness and using the pop or a custom EQ with smart bass enabled seems to work the best. ALl the eq's are way too heavy on the high frequencies. Not sure how it sounded before the screen upgrade as I bought my car with it already installed.

For anyone who has an 2011 or earlier A4 B8, I can say that the silver bezel doesn't match the one in the video nor is the one in the video a direct replacement. Also you will likely have to change the CANBUS protocol from 3G+ to 3G if the MMI controls go dead 20 seconds after switching to the android interface from the OEM interface.
My friend was it easy for you to take off the silver trim so to install it to the other part?basically how you took it off with heater?with something sharp carefully?
What do you mean by using the audi bluetooth for mic? I have a similar screen and having issue with the mic. Think I'm being a bit stupid... haha. Do you connect your phone to both your audi MMI bluetooth AND the new screen's bluetooth or just the new screen?
This is available for Left hand drive vehicles too right ? Or does that not matter. Also, does the steering wheel controls still work ? What’s your honest opinion of how it compares to RSNAV system ?
Available for both friend. Steering wheel controls still work! And I’ve not used the system from those guys so I can’t compare sorry! But I’m super happy with our system we’ve installed a bunch of them now and people love it
@@Mezziz when I unplugged the head unit (screen) to put back the trim and reconnected the cables the problem was resolved so my guess is a loose connection possibly.
Hey mate - this looks great. I currently have Dynavin system installed in my S4. Do you think it would still have all the factory wiring in place if I was to fit one of your units? Or big can o worms?
Installed on my 2018 Q5 Audi... can i get a detailed instruction manual or a detailed user guide or tutorial on how to interact with the product? Thx so much
Amazing.. would love to see also how to connect the rear camera cause i have it in my car (looking to keep the defaut settings i mean when i put the gear on reverse it will be on directly).. also if this systeme do exist for left driven cars (euro).. one last thing plz, about those extra wiring is it possible to connect a dashboard cam to record in front while driving or park?
would this work on an 2016 Audi S5? and will the regular backup camera work? what would be the features that the car will loose, if any? Also what year is your car? Thank you in advance.
Hi, I’ve just purchased one of these systems for my Audi A5 2009 model I watched your video which was brilliant I followed everything in your video but I can’t get any sound through CarPlay but sound comes through on the standard radio system. I have the Ami common the glove box which I e plugged that in. Can you advise on what I have to do or I’m doing wrong.
Hi, I have just installed a very similar screen to this. I have an Audi A4 B8.5 Avant 2012, it does has Audi multimedia. I am having an issue with the audio. I cannot hear any audio from the device through the speakers. When I go to the original source, it says AMI is not connected. Any ideas? Many thanks
@@TO-sf3dx I did solve the issue yes. I wouldn’t have been able to on my own. I spoke to the seller I purchased the device off, and he instructed me to cut one yellow wire out the back of the main plug to the screen. This solved the issue and magically AUX was visible and I could select it, audio works perfectly
Hey Man, you make it look so easy....which is dangerous for someone like me who's pretty useless when it comes to this. Will that work for a January 2011 A5 2 door?
Hi, I have an Audi S5 2015 with the GPS and back up camera. I want to know why there are two ways to connect the new system. There is one extender that goes to the can Bus or the other one that goes in the climate control. Which one do I choose?
Can you have side by side app display? This is a feature I would love to have in the sq5. Currently have airlift system and would love to have the visuals on the display without using the handset.
Nice job really.. my 2014 s5 the bluetooth stop working because of processor would it work if i would install a screen like that or do i need the processor to work??
I just bought a 2020 audi a4 avante quattro black edition in nardo grey. My car comes with touch screen as standard but is their a way I can watch TH-cam videos or use my tv apps to watch movies/videos ???
Do you have instructions or a video on how to separate the black OEM face from the silver bezel? To be able to fit the bezel over the aftermarket face plate that the screen connects to. Great video, thank you for the help.
@5:43 you show audio inputs by the quad lock. I can’t seem to find any audio input other than the mic Jack. Where does the input even come from on the car to plug it into this harness?
Hey dude , great work ! I have a B8 S5 cabrio and the screen surface is rooted ! Do you have any second hand screens ? I am looking to add the apple car play unit you sell but need a decent screen before I do that . cheers
Unfortunately i do not man. You can use a very light polish and spend a couple hours removing that protective layer on the screen it will look new again or just buy the 10" :P
Did the full install, been working like a charm for 5 months. Randomly the mmi knob died, so unplugged cables and replugged them. Got it working but now the screen is a blue whitish tint. Any ideas?
Is the wireless CarPlay fast? My experience with the wireless adaptors is that it’s too slow to use for phone calls. And this uses the mic built in to the Audi for phone calls?
Would I need a wire harness to hook this up? I bought the same one and the factory harness is not the same, so im just sitting on a new screen I can’t use. I have a 2009 Audi s5. For this to work I think the factory radio has to be malti player for the plugs to fit. Can I buy aftermarket harness set to make this thing work?
I'm not a gadget person but wanting a better screen for reversing cam on Audi Q5. What does hot-spot do on your phone? Allow you to connect it to Internet?
Hey what’s up man I just bought do I need a new wiring harness to install and does it come with a new one or no and does this screen come with a back up camera feature thanks a lot
nice video and detailed information thanks . Btw couldnt see z link or t link for wireless carplay in apps (my '13 audi a4 has a similar aftermarket headunit ) i live problems with zlink aftewr ios 15 update do u ve any issues or how do you connect wireless carplay?
I installed Headunit reloaded app for android. Something similar for Apple? Its a bit tempromental but wireless link works. Takes a good 30 seconds from turning car on to get the link up though. Everything works fine.
Does this upgrade get rid of the hair pulling boot up time for the mmi bluetooth... Because the car is using the same hard drive...Or does this connect to the touch device's own built-in bluetooth module?
@@TheFittingBay it isn't lagging... Just a b8.5 flaw of using a hard drive instead of ssd like these newer models. A little silence is also good at times. If I were to get an mmi system update, wonder how this would affect it. Have you vagcom with this unit?
@@conversationovercoffee mmi update won’t change the unit or performance of the unit at all. It has its own OS. But it also allows the original Audi equipment to be displayed by piggy back cable for video input from OEM screen. So you can do whatever you like with the OEM system and whatever you like with the new system and they won’t affect each other. The only prerequisite is that you order for the correct vehicle type - Audi MMI 3G/3G+ or concert / symphony.
Hi , just installed the unit and it’s awesome ! Thanks for the info ! One question as I am trying to put my mp3 music on it ! Original system MMI, I put on an SD card and put it in the slot and it worked . Tried to do it with the new system in the back of the unit . It doesn’t seem to fit properly. Do u know what SD card size would I need ? Or what’s the easiest for music transfer ? Thanks 🙏
great job,, I have the same screen, but was not able to locate the rear camera wires,, it was a wireless camera and didi not get it to work,, any idea ?
How’s the Bluetooth microphone quality, every aftermarket stereo systems that I’ve had so far tend to have poor Bluetooth microphone quality. Is it clear?
Andoird Auto? Wired or wireless? Does it lose any functionality over Apple Car Play? Just addressing the elephant in the room as I use exclusively Android phones and you didn't mention anything. Nor could I find a related comment after scrolling through like 100 comments.
Thank you for the video. I managed to get the screen working from this tutorial but after market reverse camera is not working. Do you have a tutorial for that?
I’ve been thinking about getting this, but can’t find anything saying if it has aux plugs on it for any kind of amplifier outputs or not. That’s the killer for me
If the Audi A4/B8 has already a navigation. Should I use the old GPS cable for the Android Radio or do I have to use the new GPS antena which is in the kit?
Hi, have the same mod for my audi a5. I also bought an aftermarket backup camera which doesn't work with the android unit. It has power and we used cvbs cable (so basically it should work). I even tried it with a usb dvr. Do you have an idea what's wrong or any suggestions?
Yes, that's right it uses the amp and speakers but the unit has its own DAC, therefore, you will be able to play different music formats such as FLAC. OEM sounds warmer and this sounds a bit brighter which is not a bad thing, also the bass compared to OEM is a bit weak. Overall sound quality is acceptable, apart from it doesn't show the volume bar.
Great video. Just installed this on my A5. I had such a tough time removing the glove box. I had one extra screw behind the cd changer that no one else online seems to have.

This is available for Left hand drive vehicles too right ? Or does that not matter. Also, does the steering wheel controls still work ? What’s your honest opinion of how it compares to RSNAV system ?
Available for both friend. Steering wheel controls still work! And I’ve not used the system from those guys so I can’t compare sorry! But I’m super happy with our system we’ve installed a bunch of them now and people love it
Is it compatible with the B&O audio equipment?
Yep :)
@@TheFittingBay Same quality?
@@KevinMick Yeah man uses AUX in but hardwired from the quadlock so very minimal differences between that and whatever you normally use especially BT
Anyone having issues with the navigation wheel? It works fine in the stock MMI interface but doesn't do anything on the Android screen?
Speak to supplier
yep got the same problem, wasn't able to fix it...maybe you can keep me updated if you get a solution
@@Mezziz when I unplugged the head unit (screen) to put back the trim and reconnected the cables the problem was resolved so my guess is a loose connection possibly.
Hey mate - this looks great. I currently have Dynavin system installed in my S4. Do you think it would still have all the factory wiring in place if I was to fit one of your units? Or big can o worms?
Will this work with the car's steering wheel controls as well?
Yes
ive just bought one of these, im about to fit it tomorrow looking forward to following this guide :)
Info@aesonline.com.au email me with your order number and we can help with technical support 😌
@@TheFittingBay im good thanks, but ill know who to message if i do
It is rubbish, nothing but trouble.
@@greglong3275 mines been totally fine lol had it for nearly 2 years now
@@2595220 where did you buy your module and is there anything I need to look out for when buying?
Installed on my 2018 Q5 Audi... can i get a detailed instruction manual or a detailed user guide or tutorial on how to interact with the product? Thx so much
Amazing.. would love to see also how to connect the rear camera cause i have it in my car (looking to keep the defaut settings i mean when i put the gear on reverse it will be on directly).. also if this systeme do exist for left driven cars (euro).. one last thing plz, about those extra wiring is it possible to connect a dashboard cam to record in front while driving or park?
would this work on an 2016 Audi S5? and will the regular backup camera work? what would be the features that the car will loose, if any? Also what year is your car? Thank you in advance.
Works in a 2016 :)
Backup camera will operate as normal.
This was a 14"
How is the audio quality? Is there a decrease in audio quality when playing music? Also when using CarPlay compared to the original radio?
It’s great have had 0 issues and no major change in sound except radio quality can be poor in bad reception
Hi, I’ve just purchased one of these systems for my Audi A5 2009 model I watched your video which was brilliant I followed everything in your video but I can’t get any sound through CarPlay but sound comes through on the standard radio system. I have the Ami common the glove box which I e plugged that in. Can you advise on what I have to do or I’m doing wrong.
I have the same problem. Did you get yours sorted, if so interested to know how you did. Thanks in advance.
Great video! How do you handle A4's with the Airbag disable button below the Hazard lights switch?
It stays plugged in
Hi, I have just installed a very similar screen to this. I have an Audi A4 B8.5 Avant 2012, it does has Audi multimedia. I am having an issue with the audio. I cannot hear any audio from the device through the speakers. When I go to the original source, it says AMI is not connected. Any ideas? Many thanks
Me too, you solve the issue?
You might have to activate AMI through the green screen which you'll have to enable it with an obd11
@@TO-sf3dx I did solve the issue yes. I wouldn’t have been able to on my own. I spoke to the seller I purchased the device off, and he instructed me to cut one yellow wire out the back of the main plug to the screen. This solved the issue and magically AUX was visible and I could select it, audio works perfectly
If you need images of which one to cut I can send them to you via email if you like
Hey Man, you make it look so easy....which is dangerous for someone like me who's pretty useless when it comes to this.
Will that work for a January 2011 A5 2 door?
Awesome video, any outputs for a subwoofer? I want to install this on an a4 all road and add a sub.
Cool stuff! What happens to the alarm lights button?
Hi, I have an Audi S5 2015 with the GPS and back up camera. I want to know why there are two ways to connect the new system. There is one extender that goes to the can Bus or the other one that goes in the climate control. Which one do I choose?
I just bought my son this exact car and the screen doesn’t currently work. In your opinion if I replaces it with this model do you think it would work
Hey dude goog job about rear back camera is work perfect with 12VOlts normally ? Or not
Should do yes
Can you have side by side app display? This is a feature I would love to have in the sq5. Currently have airlift system and would love to have the visuals on the display without using the handset.
Thanks @thefittingbay !
But where did you get the keys to unlock the Audi multimedia ? Please
You have to buy online
@@TheFittingBay Thanks but could you please give me the name of these keys ?
Nice job really.. my 2014 s5 the bluetooth stop working because of processor would it work if i would install a screen like that or do i need the processor to work??
I just bought a 2020 audi a4 avante quattro black edition in nardo grey. My car comes with touch screen as standard but is their a way I can watch TH-cam videos or use my tv apps to watch movies/videos ???
yep sure is, send me an email info@aesonline.com.au
Do you have instructions or a video on how to separate the black OEM face from the silver bezel? To be able to fit the bezel over the aftermarket face plate that the screen connects to. Great video, thank you for the help.
We do on our channel
Link?
Hi! How is the display in the dark? Can you adjust brightness? Does it have some night mode or light sensor? Thanks for your answers in advance!
You can adjust the brightness :)
@5:43 you show audio inputs by the quad lock. I can’t seem to find any audio input other than the mic Jack. Where does the input even come from on the car to plug it into this harness?
Hey dude , great work ! I have a B8 S5 cabrio and the screen surface is rooted ! Do you have any second hand screens ? I am looking to add the apple car play unit you sell but need a decent screen before I do that . cheers
Unfortunately i do not man. You can use a very light polish and spend a couple hours removing that protective layer on the screen it will look new again or just buy the 10" :P
Did the full install, been working like a charm for 5 months. Randomly the mmi knob died, so unplugged cables and replugged them. Got it working but now the screen is a blue whitish tint. Any ideas?
Comments like this will never be answered if not highlighted. I have same problem.
Will this work with iPhones? Also, went to your store, do you have this for sale for American audis? (Steering wheel on the left) have a 2010 Audi A5
Are you still able to use voice commands? Is that what the mic plug for or does the display have a built in mic?
Yes you can use voice commands and the mic is built in and there is also an external input for mic
Is the wireless CarPlay fast? My experience with the wireless adaptors is that it’s too slow to use for phone calls. And this uses the mic built in to the Audi for phone calls?
Love it bro...does the kit come with the retrofit panel as well? With the hazard light button?
Yah :)
Do I only need to use mobile hotspot to download apps? For example If I downloaded Waze does it still need wifi or will the GPS take over from there?
Needs internet. Unless you are using CarPlay/Android auto in which case it runs via the phone.
Would I need a wire harness to hook this up? I bought the same one and the factory harness is not the same, so im just sitting on a new screen I can’t use. I have a 2009 Audi s5. For this to work I think the factory radio has to be malti player for the plugs to fit. Can I buy aftermarket harness set to make this thing work?
I'm not a gadget person but wanting a better screen for reversing cam on Audi Q5.
What does hot-spot do on your phone? Allow you to connect it to Internet?
Bro, did you install an reverse camera in that radio ? i have the same radio and i cant connect the camera.
Hey what’s up man I just bought do I need a new wiring harness to install and does it come with a new one or no and does this screen come with a back up camera feature thanks a lot
nice video and detailed information thanks . Btw couldnt see z link or t link for wireless carplay in apps (my '13 audi a4 has a similar aftermarket headunit ) i live problems with zlink aftewr ios 15 update do u ve any issues or how do you connect wireless carplay?
I installed Headunit reloaded app for android. Something similar for Apple? Its a bit tempromental but wireless link works. Takes a good 30 seconds from turning car on to get the link up though. Everything works fine.
Hey mate, would you recommend this one or the one that uses the original screen like you put in your s4. I’m going to put one in my sq5
This one :)
Dont, I have one, and it is rubbish.
Does this upgrade get rid of the hair pulling boot up time for the mmi bluetooth... Because the car is using the same hard drive...Or does this connect to the touch device's own built-in bluetooth module?
It has its own Bluetooth module. Start up isn’t instant but I’m sure it’s faster than your system if it’s starting to lag
@@TheFittingBay it isn't lagging... Just a b8.5 flaw of using a hard drive instead of ssd like these newer models. A little silence is also good at times. If I were to get an mmi system update, wonder how this would affect it. Have you vagcom with this unit?
@@conversationovercoffee mmi update won’t change the unit or performance of the unit at all. It has its own OS. But it also allows the original Audi equipment to be displayed by piggy back cable for video input from OEM screen. So you can do whatever you like with the OEM system and whatever you like with the new system and they won’t affect each other. The only prerequisite is that you order for the correct vehicle type - Audi MMI 3G/3G+ or concert / symphony.
Does this mean you can listen to music thru Bluetooth? If you have this connected to your phone ?
Dope vid man! But what happend to the hazard lights?
On the new facia :)
Hi , just installed the unit and it’s awesome ! Thanks for the info ! One question as I am trying to put my mp3 music on it !
Original system MMI, I put on an SD card and put it in the slot and it worked . Tried to do it with the new system in the back of the unit . It doesn’t seem to fit properly.
Do u know what SD card size would I need ? Or what’s the easiest for music transfer ?
Thanks 🙏
Maybe try installing SHAREit on the display and phone to transfer data
Great video! Have you done a video like this for the q3 install?
great job,, I have the same screen, but was not able to locate the rear camera wires,, it was a wireless camera and didi not get it to work,, any idea ?
good luck lol wireless cameras suck
How’s the Bluetooth microphone quality, every aftermarket stereo systems that I’ve had so far tend to have poor Bluetooth microphone quality. Is it clear?
Well I just had to look up how to remove the glove box why didn't you include that?
Nice thanks for sharing the Instalacion. but these are 500-600 on eBay or what’s the difference?
I would assume the warranty and the fact that your buying from people who make these you know
One of the best install video out. Thank you for sharing.
Hi this looks awesome I'm in the UK I have a 2008 a5, without mmi3g would this still work? if so where can I buy it from .
Does it have 2G mmi OR concert / symphony?
And from our shop:
Www.shoptfb.com
@@TheFittingBay it has 2g high I think, 6 cd player in front
Andoird Auto? Wired or wireless? Does it lose any functionality over Apple Car Play? Just addressing the elephant in the room as I use exclusively Android phones and you didn't mention anything. Nor could I find a related comment after scrolling through like 100 comments.
Android auto wired 😊
Thank you for the video. I managed to get the screen working from this tutorial but after market reverse camera is not working. Do you have a tutorial for that?
Amazing video is this compatible with a concert MMI ?
Yep :)
I’ve been thinking about getting this, but can’t find anything saying if it has aux plugs on it for any kind of amplifier outputs or not. That’s the killer for me
Nah it doesn't just a 1/8 inch audio jack
If the Audi A4/B8 has already a navigation. Should I use the old GPS cable for the Android Radio or do I have to use the new GPS antena which is in the kit?
Hi, have the same mod for my audi a5. I also bought an aftermarket backup camera which doesn't work with the android unit. It has power and we used cvbs cable (so basically it should work). I even tried it with a usb dvr.
Do you have an idea what's wrong or any suggestions?
Probably settings in the unit?
Tried with every settings possible.
@@gousy_19 and did you purchase this from us?
Does it improve the sound quality or not? I am assuming not since it uses the mmi and amp? Please let me know. Thank you!
Audio quality is the same but this also has a built in DSP you can use
Yes, that's right it uses the amp and speakers but the unit has its own DAC, therefore, you will be able to play different music formats such as FLAC. OEM sounds warmer and this sounds a bit brighter which is not a bad thing, also the bass compared to OEM is a bit weak. Overall sound quality is acceptable, apart from it doesn't show the volume bar.
