Audi of America and Audi Germany said, no INSISTED that it could not be done…. but we DID IT!

At the time of posting, if you are lucky enough to be in the position to be building an Audi R8 V10 Plus on the Audi of America website you will find that Audi Smartphone Interface is not an option. This means that our USA friends cannot take advantage of Apple CarPlay or Andriod Auto integration, something which we in the UK have as standard with all modern Audi vehicles.

The owner of this lovely machine thought that the above was strange and started to investigate and when he approached the USA based dealerships and Audi of America he was told a flat no, its not possible for you to have this feature. He then found VAG Car Coding and after a short discussion, followed by a remote coding session…. VAG Car Coding is proud to preset the FIRST Audi R8 V10 Plus with Audi Smartphone Interface in the USA!

No messing about here, none of this hacking rubbish thats going around at the moment. Only genuine parts and tools were used during the activation and licensing process which saw us host a remote session from London to California. As a result of using genuine tools this licensed activation has been recorded against the vehicles digital records and is 100% warranty safe!

World 1st Time! USA Based 2017 Audi R8 Remote Activation Session!

Actually this is a world 3rd, but we were responsible to the other 2 of what we are announcing!

Pre 2018 Audi R8’s produced for the USA market could not have Audi Smartphone Interface. Audi of America will not Retro Activate! Ladies and Gents, VAG Car Coding presents, number 3 of only 3 in the USA, pre-2018 Audi R8 with Audi Smartphone Interface!

This vehicle was Mythos Black from the factory, now wrapped in Satin White, the shop could not remove the resulting errors from the panel strip. We sorted this out while connected!

Indeed Alex is Sandra.
Glad to read this. I have a 2016 R8 but I don’t have Apple Car play, I took it to an audi dealer to see if they could retro for it but they said no. A mates RS6 (also 2016) has it so no idea why my R8 doesn’t have it as standard ??!
