Apple CarPlay

[m74tea]

Hey all! What is the best way to put touch screen car play in a 2016 A7??

Well, if you have the MIB2 unit, then if not already set up, a software upgrade will enable Carplay (and Android Auto) via a wired connection.

if you want a wireless connection there are a number of different USB plugin dongles which can enable that function.

Getting a touchscreen to replace the pop up screen is more challenging and usually involves replacing the screen with a complete Android headunit, which interfaces with the existing MMI unit.

Do you know anyone that can do the software update for appleplay on the existing pop up screen and where I'd get a bluetooth adaptor to avoid the cabled solution? Cheers

There are quite a few DIY solutions, including downloads on YouTube.

You do this at your own risk of course.

Depending on where you live, there are a few places around who can do this for you, if your not willing to try it yourself.

Member @DJAlix is a good place to start.
