The Audi Q8 (2020–2024) gets wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on its factory screen through a plug-in interface fitted behind the original display: no wires are cut, camera and steering wheel buttons keep working, and the car can go back to stock. This Audi Q8 was fitted at the Radio King workshop in Dublin 11.

What was fitted on this Audi Q8

A wireless CarPlay interface went in behind the factory MMI touch display, so the original screen, radio, settings and steering wheel buttons all work exactly as before, and the module adds Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as one more source on the same screen. Nothing on the car was cut: the interface plugs into the existing connectors, and if it is ever removed the Audi Q8 returns to stock with no trace.

Will it fit your Audi Q8?

The kit suits Audi Q8 cars from 2020–2024 with the factory MMI touch display. Which module is needed depends on the screen and its software version, so the quickest check is a photo of the screen sent on WhatsApp with the registration. We confirm the exact module and whether the factory camera and microphone carry over before you book. The same kit is in the shop as the Audi Q8 Wireless Apple CarPlay Box (2020–2024), supply-only or with fitting added at checkout.

Price and fitting in Dublin

The interface is from €350 supply-only. Fitting at our workshop in Dublin 11 is a single visit of a few hours, so the car is back with you the same day, with CarPlay and Android Auto paired and tested in the car. Every interface carries a one-year warranty and after-sale support from the people who installed it. If the factory unit has no screen at all, the alternative is an Android head unit with CarPlay built in.

Ask on WhatsApp
Can Apple CarPlay be retrofitted to Audi models?

In most cases yes. Either an interface is added behind the factory screen, or the head unit is replaced with one that has CarPlay built in. Which route suits Audi models depends on the year and the screen it was built with — we confirm that before quoting.

Does CarPlay work with the factory screen and steering wheel controls?

Yes. The interface runs through the original display and keeps the steering wheel buttons, rotary controller and reversing camera working as they did. You switch between CarPlay and the factory menus with a button you already have.

Is the installation reversible?

Yes. The kit plugs into existing connectors, so nothing is cut or drilled. If you sell the car or want the factory system back, the interface comes out and the car returns to stock with no trace of the install.

How long does the fitting take?

Most CarPlay retrofits are done in a few hours, so the car is usually back with you the same day. We book a slot at our Dublin 11 workshop and confirm timing once we know the exact year and trim.
