Classic Audi Models Gain Wireless Carplay and Android Auto Upgrades

For owners of classic Audi A4 or A5 models frustrated with outdated factory MMI systems, Unique Auto Developments offers a compelling wireless CarPlay/Android Auto upgrade solution. This innovative kit bridges the technology gap without requiring expensive factory system replacements, bringing modern connectivity to older vehicles.

As smartphone integration becomes standard in modern vehicles, owners of 2008-2016 Audi A4 and A5 models face significant limitations with their factory systems:

• Navigation shortcomings: Factory maps lack real-time updates and traffic data, making urban navigation inefficient.
• Entertainment limitations: Restricted music playback options without access to modern streaming platforms.
• Outdated interfaces: Cumbersome controls and limited voice command functionality impact driving safety.

Owners traditionally faced two unsatisfactory choices: expensive factory system replacements or continued use of obsolete technology. Unique Auto Developments' solution offers a third path - preserving factory hardware while adding modern connectivity.

The upgrade kit serves as a sophisticated bridge between smartphones and factory systems, offering:

• Wireless/wired CarPlay support for iPhone 5 and newer
• Wireless/wired Android Auto compatibility
• Screen mirroring capability for both iOS and Android devices

• Lossless audio quality through factory sound systems
• Dual wireless/wired connection options with simultaneous charging
• Support for Apple Maps, Google Maps, and Waze with live traffic data
• Hands-free calling and messaging via Siri or Google Assistant
• Multiple control methods including touchscreen, MMI controls, and steering wheel buttons

The kit supports Audi A4 and A5 models (2008-2016) equipped with:

• Concert or Symphony audio systems (identified by panel markings)
• MMI basic or MMI high/plus systems
• Color displays with media buttons
• Aux input or AMI ports for audio routing

The process preserves factory components while adding the upgrade module:

1. Remove the AMI interface using included tools
2. Access the display unit to connect LVDS cables
3. Position the included microphone
4. Connect the interface box
5. Reassemble all components

The complete kit includes all necessary components with plug-and-play wiring, eliminating the need for professional installation in most cases.

Unique Auto Developments provides comprehensive support for the upgrade system:

Future developments may include:

For Audi owners seeking to modernize their driving experience without replacing their vehicles, this upgrade kit offers a balanced solution combining factory reliability with contemporary connectivity.
