What Are the Main Features of an Audi Apple Carplay Upgrade?

Get increased safety and maximum convenience every time you drive with the help of wireless Apple Carplay for your Audi! Featuring an easy-to-use touchscreen and voice command controls, you can operate and use apps for calls, music and navigation all without taking your eyes off the road. Simply download the apps on your smartphone and they’ll be ready to use on your new head unit with no dongles or cables needed. It’s important to note that apps like Youtube are not functional with Apple Carplay in order to reduce distractions and increase road safety.

Tips to Install Audi Carplay

When upgrading or retrofitting your new aftermarket head unit with wireless Apple Carplay into your Audi, first choose one that has been made for Audis or your specific Audi model. This way, you get a head unit that plugs properly into the wire harnesses in your Audi and so that it also fits into the area for your stereo. You’ll also need a few tools, such as an interior trim removal tool, socket wrench, pliers, and wire cutters. 

Another important step to upgrade your Audi MMI to Apple Carplay is to disconnect the battery before starting any work in order to prevent any electrical issues from happening. After that, you can proceed to remove any necessary interior panels using an interior trim removal tool to reach any mounting points and electrical components connected to the existing stereo.

Once removed, install your new head unit and connect the corresponding wire harnesses together. High-quality head units come with instructions to make this step quick and easy. And with one made specifically for your Audi model, you also get a front face plate that fits flush with the stereo surround. 

Android Auto

If you’re also looking for wireless Android Auto for your Audi in Sydney, you’re in luck. Most of the features and functionality available to iPhone users are also available for Android. Where Apple Maps has better integration with Apple Carplay, Android Auto has better integration with Google Maps. You can even use wireless Android Phone Mirroring with your head unit which copies the look and layout of your phone so that you can use your new head unit with more familiarity. And better yet, Android Phone Mirroring lets you use all your phone apps without the need for cables and dongles, allowing you to even watch videos on Youtube.
