    Hi Flexx, thank you for the video. I got mine working on my 2015 Audi A4 B8.5 with Audi Concert. I figured I'd post this here since it seems there are quite a few people experiencing issues that I did as well.
    This is for Audi Concert users:
    1. Getting sound through once you have it setup is an easy fix. Route the auxiliary cable that is attached to the harness through to your glovebox where your AMI box is. Plug in the provided AMI aux cord into your AMI and then plug the auxiliary port from the harness to the female aux port that goes to your AMI. Boom, now you have sound.
    2. The CarPlay module doesn't load when you start your car. It just says, "External auxiliary input connected." You can easily bypass this by holding down the nav button on your steering wheel. You can use this button to go back and forth from your Audi MMI to the CarPlay MMI.
    3. The unit doesn't fit behind my radio. This was a tough solution for me. I had to first disconnect everything from my module and then slide it underneath the slot for the radio. Make sure the wifi and dip side faces towards the glovebox. Once you have it in, reconnect all of the cables. Finally, to make it fit, slide the big box on the radio harness in the top corner opposite of your glove box. Push the cables to the back as you slide your radio in.
    4. I can't get my microphone to work. I am currently looking for a solution for this... The provided microphone is actually pretty bad so I wanted to try to use my OEM microphone (I believe this is the aux cord that comes out of the harness labeled "mic") however have not gotten it to work. If you have any solutions, please let me know!
    It wasn't too bad of an install. I had some trouble with the AMI box in the glovebox as you need to remove it to get the last glovebox bolt off. Overall, it has been working really nice.
    Thank you Flexx!! If anyone else needs help, ask me!

    Great explanatory, many thanks.
    The only thing that's holding me back from buying this is that I like to listen to the radio (FM or DAB) while running navigation. On factory-installed systems, the system mutes the radio automatically when a navigation audio message comes up, and then unmutes it again afterwards.
    These aftermarket systems, as brilliant as they are, can't do that. Its either the aftermarket CP unit for audio, or the inbuilt unit- no way to blend them.

    Thanks for the helpful video. Quick question for you, I'm pretty fond of the digital display between the RPM and speed gauges in the instrument cluster, is the upper portion of that display permanently stuck on "AUX" or some variation of that while you're using Carplay? How about when you switch back to the original Audi system, does the gauge cluster display go back to displaying radio station info if you were using the original car radio, etc.?

    I bought a MB 300 2017 C300 W205 and it did not come with the rear speakers. I need to know the type of speakers it has and if you can send some images. I've been looking at the manual of the car but it doesn't have that information.

    • @TheFlexxGarage
      @TheFlexxGarage  8 месяцев назад +1

      Huh? All CarPlay does is display whats on already on your phone. It has nothing to do with an internet connection.
      It needs to connect using BT/WiFi so it can display the image from your phone and the audio from your phone.
      You do know that WiFi connection doesn’t mean “internet connection”? WiFi is just another form of wireless connection but it can support more data flow than Bluetooth. And that’s how CarPlay allows your phones screen to be displayed on the car’s screen.
      Your phone is what needs to be connected to the internet using the data package from your phone company.
      And then the visual/audio info from your phone flows through BT/Wifi connection to the cars screen.

      @Nikita-mv6mt Год назад +1

      yes. I have no MMI on my A4 B8.5, and everything is working as before. Also, you can listen to the radio and regular aux with carplay active. But there is another side: when you use steering wheel controls, the car and dashboard don’t know about carplay and show and acts with everything as before (changing stations, showing what it is AUX in use, unused buttons notifications etc. It’s not a critical thing.

    • @TheFlexxGarage

      Yes. That’s how I have it now. I don’t remember but it’s the CarPlay or the ambient that has an extra port so you can piggyback both plugs to the canbus (red) port.

I've watched the youTube video and it mentions that you need an aux input. Could you please let me know which version I need and if the "CarPlay for Audi A4 MMI 2 3 3G 3G+ Android" Mirroring option is the one I need? I have the Audi Concert (the Low Spec version) radio. Also, where do I get the radio removal keys? Do those come in the kit? Thank you for the help.

      @TheFlexxGarage  Год назад +1

      No issue with the cold. And it has nothing to do with audio cause it’s just a piggyback module onto the oem radio system. You’re better off tapping a line out converter to a speaker wire and using rca’s from that converter to an amp/subwoofer.

      @TheFlexxGarage  2 года назад +1

      An android screen is light years better than just a CarPlay/android Auto module. It’s way more expensive but it has CarPlay/android auto, it can surf the internet, you have access to so many more apps, larger size, custom features, etc…it’s basically an iPad on your car where’s a CarPlay/android Audi module is just limited to only CarPlay/android auto features.
      I personally don’t need an android screen cause I use CarPlay like 99% of the time in all 3 of my cars however…nothing beats the looks of a giant screen in a car.

    Great job sir, I took the simple route. The AMI in the glove box, I installed a ignition live feed usb outlet beside it. I run a chrome cast to a hdmi to rcb, it connects to the AMI to RCA. Just had to hide a couple of cables and boom. I can hotspot the phone and cast anything to it. Looks perfect too. Your job probably gives full hd, and touchscreen but it's the easy answer Vs a large bill and lots of unbolting lol alternatively you could use a fire stick etc. If you think hdmi / cast, your imagination/desire is all you require.

So you need the ami connection, mine is in the glovebox. I connected the ami to rca, connected this to a hdmi to rca (correct conversion direction) .. the chromecast goes into this or firestick etc. so the hotspot / chromecast. Your dongle or mobile etc.. Set this to i.e. Quattro S Line (ssid) Password (your own) .. connect this chromecast to the ssid, and youre sorted, the device / phone must be on the same network.. if chromecast, fire stick just needs a connection. i installed a x2 way usb in my glovebox, ignition feed. if you're using it, turn start stop off or the chromecast loses power if you stop, direct live if you wish but you need a switch s it doen't drain the battery. it's dark here, and raining, i'll make a quick video tomorrow

      Here's the list of stuff, I'll make a video tomorrow cause it's dark and raining now. eBay item numbers: usb: 184603952409 .. you use a fuse tapper: 384858550227 .. then you get an ami to RCA : 142536716556 .. this connects to a hdmi to RCA: 203223040077 this uses one usb, the other is for the cast/stick. I bored the correct size hole to accept the usb adaptor. Everything else is easy. You take out the glovebox, bore it, wire it, put back in and the rest is just setting up. iPhone didn't like hotspot plus casting.. I use android as it allows both. But currently because of my broadband package they sent me a dongle so I always have unlimited data / WiFi in the car. If you need to set up your Chromecast for the car use your home router, make a custom ssid and password.. make sure the set up is complete.. then set your phone to the exact same ssid / password then when you turn on your hot spot the Chromecast connects to it. If you have an iPhone you'll need a second device to cast, but if a dongle or android phone you can just use that single device.

    My mechanic done something similar for me, but now when through AUX, my right door sound is very weak compared to the left. It's okay if I connect Bluetooth directly though, so it's not the speaker. My mechanic said it's normal for Audi AUX port, do you have any idea?

    • @TheFlexxGarage
      @TheFlexxGarage  11 месяцев назад

      dont know. Never had that issue. It could just be a crappy AUX cable and that's why the left signal sounds weak. I've had defective headphone that would have one weak side than the other, and it's always a bad 3.5mm aux plug that's the issue.

There is a spot that is in the panel right of the wheel well. I got the mic up no problem. Second, to get AA voice recognition working, you need to go into settings and set the microphone to external, not original manufacturer. Third, getting the glove box down is a biotch.... 5/16 nuts. Getting it back up.... Not so easy.

      It did but it’s not going to tell you what wire on your car is what. It’s will just give you a diagram of what wire on the module will connect to. It will say this wires go to your CD cable and this to your Aux cable. It’s up to you to figure what’s what on your car.

Case in point, I installed my 12.3 android touch screen from DMP Car Design on my 2016 Mercedes E400. No instruction or illustration what goes where. Although DMP did provide very good customer support and folks like you who share their install videos helps a lot. Only issue I have with my screen, someone calls and I answer while in carplay mode I cannot hear the caller. However, caller can hear me. So, I must tell caller I’ll call right back. Turn off carplay call back using vehicle bluetooth feature which is annoying. Did install complete with mic as per videos and DMP guidance. Don’t get me wrong DMP provides lots of very nice cool products for your car. Bought many other items from them in the past. Detailed illustration and instructions would be very nice.
