Wireless CarPlay Retrofit Kit Compatible with 2013-2018 Audi A3/S3 | Carplay Android Auto Module Receiver Box Support Navigation, Maps, Music, Mirroring, Camera

Absolutely love this, I got it for my son for his 2016 Audi A3, although Audi has its own screen nothing beats the CarPlay, easy installation and it works perfectly

Worked at first few months then it stopped working completely

I just installed this in a 2016 Audi A3. I'm so impressed by the full integration. The wiring harnesses made it all very simple. There was one set of wires that is only necessary if you are adding an aftermarket camera or microphone. Most won't need that. The part that did trip me up a little is that you do have to plug in the little AMI to Aux cable in the AMI outlet in your car, even though you're not going to plug the aux cable into anything. This triggers the MMI to give you the option of choosing "External Audio Source" in media source settings. The only other struggles involved tight spaces and an excessive amount of screws holding the dashboard in. You have to scroll to a voice button in maps and you have to scroll to "use Siri to place a call" in the phone menu in order to use voice commands, but I think that's a minor inconvenience. Every other steering wheel and console control works as you would expect. A quick tap of your menu button in the console brings up the default screen with maps on one half and your music on the other. It looks great. You'd never know it wasn't original.

One-year review: This was a game changer for me. I love that it works with the factory buttons. Relatively easy to install by yourself. Sometimes it can be finicky and not fire up properly. That's pretty rare and is usually fixed by restarting your car or phone. That's the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5.

PROs Love the fact that the instructions are clear. There are plenty of videos on YouTube about how to install it. After it's installed, the system works flawlessly. I'm now able to navigate in foreign countries without having to look down at my phone. CONs Depending on your vehicle. The insulation may require you to have a friend period I ended up cutting the wires to my glove box because I didn't have someone to help me prop it up. It doesn't have really good instructions on how to use it. So you have to play around a little bit in order to get them familiar with it. Finally, it doesn't come with the password to upgrade the firmware on the device. Overall, it's worth the money!

Tried many times to get the unit to function and communicate with phones and to get the screen to display like advertised but gave up and returned the unit with no headaches. If there was a customer service team on a better time zone maybe I could have received a more timely response to trouble shoot the issue.

Add CarPlay easy

the unit works well in terms of the apple car play, and streaming. only issue i ran across was really back audio interference when at louder volumes not sure how to sort that out…i installed the unit in less than two hrs so i was pretty satisfied with how easy it was…
