Fitment
This kit is matched to one head-unit family. Confirm yours before ordering — the fitment guide shows where the model name appears on your screen.
How to order
- 1Confirm your head unit. The kit is built for one radio family. Check the screen against the identification guide, or enter your VIN above and we narrow it down by model year.
- 2Decide about the camera. See the panel above: on a base radio you need one, on MMI 3G and MIB many cars already have it.
- 3Order. USA — USPS Priority, free. Canada — USPS Priority International, $30. Rest of the world — DHL Express, $107.
- 4Install it. Plug and play: the harness sits between the factory radio and its plug. No coding, no cut OEM wires, fully reversible. Watch a full install before you start.

Questions about this kit
Will this work with my head unit?
It is built for MMI 3G · MMI 3G+ · MMI 3G High only. If your screen shows a different system, a different kit in the Audi range is the right one — the fitment guide tells you which.
Is CarPlay wireless?
Yes — wireless and wired both work. Android Auto is wireless too.
Do I lose the factory features?
No. Radio, media, navigation and the factory camera (if fitted) keep working. The interface adds an input rather than replacing the head unit.
Is it reversible?
Yes. The module plugs in behind the radio. Unplug it and the car is back to stock.
Can I install it myself?
It is plug and play: the harness sits between the factory radio and its plug, nothing is coded and no OEM wire is cut. The install videos show the whole job on a real car. Any car audio shop can also fit it.
What if it arrives faulty?
Every unit is bench-tested at the factory before it ships. If something is wrong with it, tell us and we exchange it within 30 days. The product carries a 1-year warranty.
Which camera do I need?
On Concert and Symphony you always need one, the car left the factory without it. On MMI 3G and MIB many cars from 2014 already have a camera and the kit will use it.
