What CarPlay adds to your Audi A1
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto run on your factory MMI screen with OEM controls intact — a true factory-feel upgrade for the Audi A1.
Wireless Apple CarPlay
Pair your iPhone once and CarPlay appears on your Audi A1 MMI screen automatically every drive — Google Maps, Apple Music, Messages and Siri, all wirelessly.
Wireless Android Auto
Android users get the same wireless experience on the A1's factory display — Waze, Spotify, Google Assistant and calls without a cable.
Google Maps & Waze
Live-traffic navigation replaces the A1's ageing factory maps, with turn-by-turn directions rendered on your original MMI screen.
Spotify & Apple Music
Stream your playlists through the Audi A1's factory sound system with full steering wheel and MMI control.
Siri & Voice Control
Trigger Siri or Google Assistant from the A1's steering wheel to send messages, set reminders and pick music hands-free.
Reverse Camera Retained
The module runs alongside your factory MMI, so the A1's reverse camera, parking sensors and driver aids keep working.
Steering Wheel Controls
Volume, track skip, voice and call buttons on the A1 steering wheel work natively with CarPlay and Android Auto.
Plug-and-Play Installation
The Audi A1 kit plugs into the factory MMI harness — no wire cutting, no coding, no VCDS. Fully reversible in minutes.
OEM Appearance
Nothing changes the A1's cabin. The factory screen, controller and trim stay original — CarPlay simply appears as a new source.
Installation Process
Fitting CarPlay in your Audi A1
A reversible, plug-and-play install. Most Audi A1 owners finish in 60–90 minutes with the supplied tools — no cutting, no coding.
Release the A1 MMI trim
Use the supplied radio removal keys to release the Audi A1's centre trim and access the factory MMI unit — about 10 minutes, no special tools.
Plug in the CarPlay module
Disconnect the factory screen harness, connect the CarPlay module inline, then refit. No cutting and no coding on the A1.
Pair once & drive
Pair your iPhone or Android over Bluetooth once. Wireless CarPlay and Android Auto then connect automatically every time you start your A1.
