Considering buying the Carplay2air adapter as they confirmed it will work with my Pioneer CarPlay headunit.
According to the German online configurator wireless carplay should be supported from MY2021. My dealer also told the same but will have to wait until I get the car to confirm that it’s actually the case.
I tried and couldn't get it working. I followed a tutorial from a A6 and wasn't prompted for the wireless option.
Then it's a MY2020I'm not sure on a build date, I took delivery in June.
Then it's a MY2020
That will explain it then, it's fine plugging in on long drives but it would be great for those short trips as CarPlay loaded 200x quicker than in my 2017 A4.
What do you have on order?
Awesome! So if the MY2021 doesn’t get wireless CarPlay as standard then we should be able to follow the above to enable it. I am really looking forward to trying this out! Do you have any photos of it working?
Here you go (if the video works, Pictures wouldn't really show it )
(I had to cut out a part where I skip to Apple Dashboard menu as it shows my exact location , which id rather not share)
Great work, you know in iOS 14 you no longer have to have the app open on the phone to display on the screen.
Edit: I just noticed it is touch screen, does this mean it is a MY2021 as I thought you had to use a dial in MY2020??
you don't have to have the app open in iOS13 , I was just trying to display it was wireless, otherwise I could have had a phone plugged in behind the scenes lol .
You can also display google maps on the Apple Car Play dashboard now (which used to be Apple maps only) , Think Google updated there app this week for that ,
Its a MY2020 but yes its the MIB3 touchscreen
It’s great. No glitches or anything. Even fashioned a cheap concealed wireless charger under the centre console mat. With an old charger I had. Lol

Mines a BE with comfort and sound , doesn’t come or didn’t come with the wireless Audi phone box. And it’s pretty expensive to retrofit just for wireless charging. (I’m not sure it even gives you additional antenna anymore )
So just to update on this topic. I picked up my MY2021 A5 SB today (built in W37) and it does have wireless carplay! Worked right away with no issues.
I got a 2020 a4. Connected with vcds and changed the settings in 75 module (including enabling android auto wireless). Couldn't open adaptetion for 5f module as I don't have a security access code. Nothjng changed... Still see only 2.4 ghz wifi.OK , after a few week of trying different things , here's what works on my 2020 A4 , use at your own risk :S
This is what I did ,( with weeks in between ).
Initially made adaptations to module 5F - (Having found out what I have today , I'm not even sure these need to be made , these were things quoted for previous models of Audi (Non MIB3 ) A3 / A7 / A6 , and some of the settings in the other modules contradict values in this module, so not even sure it is doing any thing with these values )
I think this should work with A4/S4 , A5/S5 MIB3 models.
Before doing this delete the phone pairing in bluetooth and CarPlay in Audi interface (long hold and delete ) , I also removed the car from my phone bluetooth (again maybe not necessary)
Make sure your bonnet / Hood is up/open for changes to take effect .

The following are new changes I found today , after scanning though all the available adaptations , these seem to have made the difference , and I now see the 5ghz network and wireless car play is working (seems too simple) .

Now reboot the MMI , (Long hold on volume / power button , until the mmi starts up again )
Connect to the (hopefully) new SSID network / Hotspot YOURCAR_5ghz (enable hotspot in connection manager/wifi to see this)
Pair phone through Audi Smart phone interface bluetooth , it should as if you was to use Carplay
Let me know how it goes ..
AwesomeHopefully that is the same for A4 then

Ok, switched the 5 ghz channel to 40 (guess 149 is blocked on my phone) and now I see the 5ghz wifi. But android auto still demands usb cable. Will try with an iphone later.
Meanwhile, I found 5f code (20103) it claims to accept it but "adaptaion" menu is still greyed out...
