OBD Eleven - Wireless Apple CarPlay Activation - Confirmed Coding

[pp2414]

This one worked on my A6 C8 model from Sep 2018

Before you use OBD Eleven unpair/delete any Apple devices from CarPlay and Bluetooth
Then remove your car if already paired from the Apple phone/device
Go to setting/general/CarPlay)

In OBD Eleven:
Module : 5F. (Information Control Unit)
Adaptation
Vehicle Configuration
MirrorLink = On
WiFi_Client_HMI = On
Apple_DIO_Wireless = On
wlan_5ghz_switch = Activated
Apple_DIO = On
Reboot the MMI by holding down the volume button for approx 30 seconds.
Do not plug your Apple device into USB
Make sure the WIFI hot-spot is turned on in the MMI settings
Pair your Apple device with Bluetooth - it should now ask if you want to enable CarPlay.
If it doesn’t, delete the pairing, and connect to the car’s wifi first from the Apple device, and try pairing via Bluetooth again.

My wireless CarPlay works perfectly each time I jump into my car. Great feature.

Enjoy!

Thanks, I will give this a try later on.

I can confirm the instructions in post #1 work a treat! Though I had trouble getting the OBD11 app on my iPhone to complete the 'write' process, but then realised I had to leave the bonnet open as is the case with all MY2019+ cars (mine is 2020). After I left the bonnet open, it worked.

One small issue: I mainly plan on using Google Maps in Car Play ideally with Google imagery in the back ground. I had it working initially but its gone back to standard google maps without any imagery, any idea on how i can get the imagery back in the MMI? I can switch on the imagery on the iphone but its not replicated in the MMI. This is what I want to see:



Many thanks again OP!

 

[psychopomp1]

Ok managed to get satellite imagery again in Google Maps on MMI screen. After selecting satellite imagery on iphone, had to close Google Maps on MMI, and then after re-opening, imagery appeared again.

You can also switch between satellite and standard map view directly on the Apple CarPlay Google maps in the settings menu.
Enjoy!

How would I do this? I can't see any setting within CarPlay Google Maps which allows switching between standard and satellite maps.
Cheers

While in CarPlay Google Maps tap on the screen. You should see settings icon.
Once you in you should see something like the screen below.

Hi
Could you post a link to the device I need to activate wireless CarPlay please.
I’m new to this

You need to buy the OBDEleven dongle and Pro licence for your iOS device. I don't think the 'Basic' licence allows you to do stuff like coding or adaptations so it has to be the Pro version. You then need to follow the instructions in post #1, though there's also an app in OBD11 Pro called 'Wireless CarPlay' which *should* activate carplay using a single click....but this uses up 100 credits!! (ouch)

I have the wireless CarPlay on my 182 Audi A6 C8. Very easy to set up with the OBDeleven. I didn't have to do all the stages that the OP stated. I just connected to the OBD Dongle as usual, selected the Wireless CarPlay app and activated. cost 100 credits but that is only €3.50 which is very cheap.
Didn't have to disconnect the iPhone or anything just make sure the bonnet is open and ignition is on.

Works like a charm so many thanks to the OP

Thanks, do see the 'satellite map' option under settings so all good on that front. However in your screenshot there's a 'speed limit' option yet i don't see this? Also how do I add/remove apps on the right side, which I presume are short cuts or frequently used apps? Many thanks!

Please ignore my photo as o just grabbed it from the web to show how to switch between Google maps satellite and standard view.

I have a new q3 sportback to access these functions do I need to have the pro version of obdeleven?

 

[Gogy]

Hello everyone,

I have recently bought 2020 Audi A6 allroad and I am trying to activate CarPlay without much success. It doesn't work via cable or wirelessly so on this forum and some Youtube videos I saw how to activate it using OBDeleven so I bought it to try that. When I follow instructions on the initial post from this thread, I make all the changes and when click write on my iPhone I get error "function not available", why that would be the case? Thanks in advance.

 

[elan2s]

I take it you are not in the UK as all UK market vehicles had CarPlay as standard, initially wired and then with the move to MIB-3 in 2020 wireless. If you car is an MIB-3 vehicle (USB-C sockets in armrest) then the ability to activate things with OBD 11 or VCDS are much reduced

Thanks very much for your reply. My car was bought in Sweden and my car has two USB A sockets under arm rest and like I said I tried to use CarPlay connected to any of those two, different phones, etc. but nothing worked. In Audi dealer where I live they couldn't tell, they don't care too much so I started doing some research and that is when I found this forum. I appreciate if you have any other idea. Thanks

Ok so looks like you have MIB-2, but also it looks as if Swedish market cars did not have CarPlay/Android Auto installed as standard as they did in the UK. The original focus of this thread was to allow CarPlay to connect wirelessly rather than wired as was the case for the early cars. In your case I suspect you may need to add software to the car in order to get CarPlay to work. Maybe worth talking to someone like Hazzydayz to see if they know of any solutions. Trouble is that most companies that offer retrofitting tech to Audis are either not he UK or US and both markets got CarPlay as standard from the start so do not offer such a solution, but worth the question. Also might be worth speaking to Kufatec in case they have a solution.

Can you let me know if you already activated the CarPlay! Because I wan to activate in my car that has software version MH2P_ER_AUG35_P2711 and I don’t know it will work or no? Thank you

 

[BolzZ]

Could you please help me? I did the coding as described in the first post. Everything went well, but Apple CarPlay still doesn't work. When I connect my iPhone via Bluetooth, I am asked on the phone screen whether it should work as carplay, but the pop-up window with the choice of "Apple Carplay or Audi MMI" does not appear on the radio screen. Is there anything else that needs to be coded? I have an Audi A7 C8 from the German market, with an Audi phone box with a wireless charger and two USB ports in the armrest, firmware version MH2P_ER_AUG35_P2711.

 

[elan2s]

Does CarPlay work when wired? In the UK CarPlay/Android Auto was standard (although not wireless at launch) but in other markets that was not always the case and it may be that in Germany it was an option rather than standard

[withinsight]

I have a 2018 S5 Sportback (US), and I've configured the 5F as spec'd above using OBD 11. I'm getting stuck on the wifi step:

"Make sure the WIFI hot-spot is turned on in the MMI settings"

My hotspot is "not available" in MMI settings:

Further, my wifi connection is never established on the iPhone:

1. Select MMI wifi network
2. Phone pops Audi Connect login

I've tried creating an Audi Connect account, but still doesn't seem to work. The question is: Audi Connect is for Audi data. This shouldn't be required to use CarPlay with my iPhone's data.

Why can't I connect to the Audi's wifi network without Audi Connect?

Heya, Have you received the Navi update? Am thinking of doing the same for my 2020 A6 Allroad. Please let me know so I order from the same person. Should be cheaper than paying Audi 160 pounds a year!

 

[AminKH]

@rizzini7 Please let me know about the map update. My maps are from 2019/2020 and am starting to get fed up with them. Should I just pay Audi 160pounds for a new subscription?

Hi mate, sorry for delay I don’t come on here much these days.

I managed the software update however the maps didn’t work for me and I’ve actually lost my nav database due to formatting the hard drive and it not accepting new maps for some reason.

So I cut my loses there before making it worse and looked elsewhere. YSW VWAG Retrofits. Who I highly recommend.

As a result I took the car on a 6 hr round trip plus the 4 hr coding to get various other software updates done and hopefully sort my maps:

Battery management module update
ZFAS update
Steering control module updated
Alternator update
Sport displays
Instrument cluster updated
Mmi coding
Latest gearbox firmware
Door modules updates
Traffic sign recognition activation

And he investigated the maps issue and it still wasn’t playing ball. It’s looking like I’ve got an issue with the hard drive itself rather than software so I have the car booked in at Audi hoping I can get it covered with Warranty .


I can highly recommend Simon Leigh
YSW VWAG Retrofits


Have you got the SD slot? You may be able to download and do it free via the audio connect website. Or I don’t know if it works but maybe try just the 1 month connect to see if it updates for £16. Hopefully someone sales can confirm that it works or not without buying the year???

I tried that at first and obviously didn’t work but thought it was me doing something wrong. Then ordered the maps and software package.

Heya, amazing advice thanks. I just looked them and I see they have added your car software update to the facebook page. I will need the same updates by the looks of it. I will contact them soon.
Audi connect seems to give only the yearly option with no monthly subscription. I do have the SD card under the Arm rest however I have USB Type A next to it, I think I have MIB II and not III. should be identical to yours no?
Has the software update resolved the issue of the rear door sometime locking/sometimes not unlocking - throwing an error code every now and then?
I am very tempted to make the same trip (6 hours plus the update time). I will check if they can update maps as well.

Again thanks for the reply.

 

[rizzini7]

Hi mate,
Strange, the Audi Connect APP lets me do 1 month or 1yr membership.
Yeah mines the older MH2P model like yours(Jan 19). So have SD and USB slot. You might be able to sort your maps via SD card.

My cars just been at Audi for two days while they try to load the Nav Database with no luck. So looks like it was corrupt before I tried loading new maps. The I obviously formatted the Database to install the new maps and lost it all.

Cars going back next month for a week under warranty to try and fix or replace the system.

I do occasionally have a door lock malfunction on the drivers module. Hasn’t done it for a few weeks so can’t say if software has fixed it or not. Hopefully has.

So sorry to hear about your issues. I have been enjoying my Allroad to be honest. I had to stuff the sides of my Virtual Cockpit with some paper to prevent plastic squeaks. I will do the felt tape mod I saw in other threads to stop it all together.
You are all correct, i do have the monthly option. If I pay for that, would my maps database upgrade you recon? So if I don't renew the month after... at least I will have the updated database without the online connectivity.

let me know your thoughts and keep us updated with your Maps situation.

 

[Adrian1871]

yes payed for 1 month £16 i did this mib2 and had free update for maps non longer have the subscription and maps are up too date!

What you won't get if you only renew for the single month is real time traffic information after the month ends. To me the real value of modern sat nav systems is the real time traffic data and rerouting to avoid delays.

Also remember that the car only downloads the update for the region you are in, so if you move out of that region (the UK is (IIRC) split into 3 or 4 regions) then you will have old data. To update all regions at once you need to do that via the download from the myaudi portal.

Audi's speed of refreshing maps also lags Google, Waze and Apple, so it is still likely that maps downloaded from Audi will not feature changes made in the last couple of years

 

[Adrian1871]

mine update as a eu so include whole europe i have a pic ill try find it!

 

[AminKH]

I think it is worth it as I will be logging at least 1500 miles in the next few weeks as I move to a new location. I have subscription my wife's S3 and it works great so I will try and get the same.
As for updates on the software versions I will also do that when i can fit that in. Next is a tow bar from Westfalia and a fix for the central lock... Then brakes and pads... then new tires.... wwwwaaaaa

Luckily mine came with new tires.

You got a price on the towbar?
I’m debating one for my Avant as I want to be able to take our e-bikes to different places

Heya, I did some research and found Westfalia to be the perfect option (it is the original supplier to Audi). I looked at the A40V system with full electrics that integrate seamlessly with the Allroad including enabling tow mode. This will set me back about 650+72quids for programming.

I have also researched bike carrier. The westfalia has only max 3 bikes capacity. I need 4 so am looking at the below: https://www.roofbox.co.uk/scripts/r...Lz09F_x6uFO7rdbcAxW8FbgxbjT5hxRxoCyjIQAvD_BwE

Hope that helps. I found some cheaper options that don't retract the tow neck and don't integrate into the electrics but that will limit my options for the future plus it looks terrible
