Audi CarPlay / Android Auto: Retrofit Kits and Factory Activation

Audi infotainment comes in several MMI generations, and the best CarPlay / Android Auto option depends on what your car has. If you match the product to your system first (MMI 3G, 3G Plus, MIB, RMC, Symphony, Concert, etc.), you avoid the typical “wrong kit” problem and get the result you expect.

Choose the right option for your Audi

Some Audis need a retrofit interface kit (hardware module). That is the typical route when the car was delivered without CarPlay/Android Auto. These kits are made to work with the factory screen and controls and are commonly used on Audi A4/A5, A6/A7, Q3, and Q5, as well as the MMI generations listed in this category.

Other Audis can use a factory-style activation/update bundle instead of adding new hardware. If your vehicle is based on MIB-HS / MHS2 and supports Smartphone Interface features, the update bundle can be the cleaner option and may be the best choice when you want the latest available update level for your system with CarPlay/Android Auto enabled, where supported.

If you are unsure which path fits your car, check your MMI version screen (or send a photo to support) before ordering.

What you get with retrofit kits

A retrofit kit is designed to keep the Audi interior looking original. You keep the factory display, steering-wheel buttons, and the normal MMI menus, but you add wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto for daily use.

In practice, that means phone navigation and media apps on the factory screen, plus voice control through Siri or Google Assistant. Switching between Audi MMI and CarPlay/Android Auto is done using the original controls, so you do not need an extra screen or dashboard add-ons.

What the MIB-HS / MHS2 update bundle can do

If your Audi supports it, the MIB-HS / MHS2 update bundle is aimed at enabling factory smartphone interface functions, including wired Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto on supported vehicles. It is often chosen when the goal is to activate CarPlay/Android Auto without installing a separate interface module.

Compatibility depends on the exact software train and hardware configuration. If you can share your current version information, we will confirm the correct solution before you order.

Important compatibility note

CarPlay and Android Auto require a working data-capable USB connection. If the port in your car is charge-only, phone projection will not work until the USB hardware and wiring are upgraded.

Delivery, trust, and support

CarPlay / Android Auto retrofit kits are shipped with tracking and are typically delivered via DHL.
