Description
Audi Q5 Front View Camera for facelifted 2012-2016 models.
Installs in the front grill under Audi Logo.
Front camera allows you to see objects in front of the car which makes your parking job much easier.
2012 Q5 owners: Your Q5 must be facelift model with a newer type of grill (refer to the picture above). Some early 2012 cars still have 2011 older type of grill. This camera is no direct fit for Audi Q5 2011 and under. It may need some modification to fix it to 2011 grill (double sided tape, or clear silicone glue will needed for this project).
Please check fitment with your car before buying.

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 Second video input on any CarsGadget interface 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.
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.
