Question 1

Can I add Audi CarPlay to my existing MMI?

Accepted Answer

Yes - our plug-and-play Audi CarPlay kit adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to your factory MMI screen without modifying anything. It works alongside your existing MMI 2G, 3G, 3G+ or MIB system. No screen replacement, no coding, no dealer visit required.

Question 2

Do I need to touch the screen?

Accepted Answer

Not with the original-screen kit. Your Audi screen stays non-touch, so you use CarPlay with the Audi dial and buttons, or ask Siri. The larger touchscreen replaces the display, and you tap it like your phone.

Question 3

Is CarPlay wireless?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with both Audi upgrades. Android Auto is wireless on both too.

Question 4

Which Audi models support the CarPlay upgrade?

Accepted Answer

Our supplier catalogue lists the kit for Audi A1, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, Q3, Q4, Q5 and Q7 model/MMI combinations from 2008 to 2023. A listing is not a confirmed fit: it depends on the exact year and MMI system, and we confirm every order before dispatch. S/RS/SQ versions, the Q2 and long-wheelbase catalogue entries (A4L, Q2L, Q5L) get a specialist check first.

Question 5

How do I know which MMI version I have?

Accepted Answer

Look at your rotary controller in the centre console. If the top surface is smooth with a touchpad you can write letters on - that's MMI 3G+. If the dial is plain with no touchpad - MMI 3G. If your screen is smaller with basic graphics and your car is pre-2009 - MMI 2G. Not sure? Upload a dashboard photo on our order page and we'll confirm for free.

Question 6

Does wireless Audi CarPlay work automatically?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After pairing your iPhone or Android phone once via Bluetooth, Audi CarPlay connects automatically every time you start the car - no cable, no manual connection needed. It typically appears on screen within 3–5 seconds of starting the engine.

Question 7

How much does the CarPlay kit cost?

Accepted Answer

The kit is $499 AUD with free tracked Australian shipping. That's a one-time cost - no subscription, no ongoing fees. You can also pay in 4 with Afterpay or Klarna at checkout, subject to eligibility. Apple Pay and Google Pay are also accepted at checkout.

Question 8

Will this affect my car warranty?

Accepted Answer

It shouldn't, and here's why in detail. First, our kit is entirely plug-and-play. It connects via existing factory harness connectors with no cutting, splicing, crimping, or soldering. The vehicle's wiring loom is completely untouched. Second, under Australian Consumer Law, and equivalents such as the US Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a dealer cannot void your vehicle manufacturer warranty simply because an aftermarket accessory was fitted - they must prove the accessory directly caused the fault. Third, the kit is fully reversible. If you ever need to remove it for a warranty inspection or resale, it unplugs in minutes and leaves no trace. We recommend confirming with your specific dealer if you have concerns about a current warranty claim, but in practice we have never had a customer report a warranty issue caused by this kit.

Question 9

Does this keep my factory controls?

Accepted Answer

Yes - completely. Steering wheel buttons, volume knob, MMI rotary controller, voice activation - everything works exactly as factory. Nothing is removed or bypassed.

Question 10

Does my reverse camera still work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your reverse camera, parking sensors, and any driver assistance systems continue to function exactly as they did from the factory. The kit integrates alongside your existing systems.

Question 11

Does this work with MMI 2G, 3G, and 3G+?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We support the supplier-listed MMI 2G, MMI 3G, 3G RMC, MMI 3G+, MMI RMC, MIB and MIB3 systems. If you are unsure which system you have, upload a dashboard photo when ordering and we will confirm before shipping.

Question 12

What if I am not sure which MMI system I have?

Accepted Answer

No problem. Upload a photo of your dashboard/MMI screen when ordering and our team will identify your system and confirm the correct kit before we ship. We confirm compatibility on every order.

Question 13

Does this work without AMI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AMI (Audi Music Interface) is not required. The kit connects directly to your MMI system and does not depend on the AMI port being present.

Question 14

How hard is it to install?

Accepted Answer

Not hard at all. It is plug-and-play - connects to your existing wiring with no cutting, soldering, or coding required. Most people complete it in under 2 hours. A detailed step-by-step installation guide is included.

Question 15

Can I still use the original MMI?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The kit works alongside your MMI - you can switch back to the original interface at any time. Nothing is removed or permanently changed.

Question 16

What if it does not work for my car?

Accepted Answer

Every kit includes a 1-year warranty. If it is faulty, damaged, misdescribed or confirmed incompatible, we will assess it promptly and provide the appropriate remedy under our policy and Australian Consumer Law. We confirm compatibility before dispatch to reduce fitment issues.

Question 17

How long does shipping take?

Accepted Answer

In Australia, standard delivery is estimated at 7–10 business days and express (A$20) at 3–5, as shown at checkout. Regional and international addresses may take longer. All orders include tracking so you can follow your kit from dispatch to delivery.

Question 18

What is your refund and return policy?

Accepted Answer

We do not offer change-of-mind refunds for correctly supplied or specially ordered products. Faulty, damaged, misdescribed or confirmed-incompatible products are assessed and remedied in accordance with the Australian Consumer Law. Full details are in our Refund Policy.

Question 19

Do you confirm compatibility before shipping every order?

Accepted Answer

Yes - every single order. Before we dispatch anything, our team verifies your vehicle and MMI system. If we have any doubts, we will contact you. This is why compatibility issues after delivery are extremely rare.

Question 20

Is this an OEM Audi CarPlay integration or aftermarket?

Accepted Answer

It's an aftermarket Audi CarPlay integration, but it integrates at the OEM level. The kit connects to your factory MMI using OEM-style harness connectors and communicates over the factory data bus - so it functions identically to a factory-fitted system. Your interior looks completely standard.

Question 21

Will the Audi CarPlay kit affect my navigation system?

Accepted Answer

No. Your factory Audi navigation continues to work completely independently. You can press NAV at any time to access it alongside CarPlay. Most owners use Google Maps or Apple Maps via CarPlay for daily navigation - both have live traffic and are updated continuously unlike factory nav.

Question 22

Does the Audi CarPlay upgrade support Android Auto?

Accepted Answer

Yes - every kit includes both wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. You can switch between iPhone and Android phone in the same car. Both platforms work on the same factory MMI screen with the same steering wheel controls.

Question 23

How does the Audi CarPlay kit compare to a dealer retrofit?

Accepted Answer

Both result in wireless CarPlay on your factory MMI screen. The difference is cost and time. An Audi dealer retrofit typically costs around $2,000 AUD and requires booking the car in for several days. Our Audi CarPlay kit is $499 AUD and takes 60–90 minutes to install at home - with no coding or specialist tools required.

Question 24

Will this affect my Audi MMI or factory settings?

Accepted Answer

No. Our Audi CarPlay kit connects between your existing MMI components - nothing is removed or modified. The factory MMI continues to function exactly as before. All vehicle settings, navigation maps, audio profiles and other factory data are completely untouched.

Question 25

Does Audi CarPlay work with the steering wheel controls?

Accepted Answer

Yes - completely. Volume, skip, voice control - all factory steering wheel buttons work natively with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto after installation. Nothing needs to be remapped or reconfigured.

Question 26

Do you offer Audi CarPlay installation in Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Audi CarPlay Australia offers mobile installation throughout the Sydney metropolitan area. Audi CarPlay supplied and installed starts from A$750 (subject to compatibility and location), with an A$250 booking deposit and the balance after installation. To install a kit you already have, install-only starts from $250 AUD (subject to location). We come to your home or another suitable agreed location to install, configure and test your CarPlay retrofit.

Question 27

Do you come to my house?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our Sydney installation service is mobile, so we can complete the installation at your home or another suitable agreed location within the Sydney metropolitan area.

Question 28

Is reverse-camera installation included?

Accepted Answer

No. The standard installation covers installation of the standard CarPlay retrofit system. Reverse-camera installation can require additional wiring, trim removal and mounting work, so installation labour is quoted separately. You can still purchase the reverse camera product with your kit — only the labour to install it requires a separate quote.

Question 29

Can I still install the CarPlay kit myself?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Installation is completely optional. Select Self Installation when ordering and your kit will be supplied for DIY installation with our step-by-step guide and support available if required.

Question 30

How do I book an installation date?

Accepted Answer

Add Sydney Mobile Installation when ordering. After your purchase, contact us with your preferred date and suburb and we will confirm your appointment directly.

Question 31

Is my requested installation date guaranteed?

Accepted Answer

No. Requested dates are subject to availability and are only confirmed once Audi CarPlay Australia has contacted you.

Question 32

What if I live outside Sydney?

Accepted Answer

Contact us before purchasing installation and we will let you know whether mobile installation is available in your area.
