Audi A5 · CarPlay

Audi A5 CarPlay installation, generation by generation.

Radio King does CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit on every Audi A5 generation we see: 8T (B8) (2007–2016): CarPlay box on the factory MMI 3G and 3G+ screen, controlled from the MMI knob; on Concert radio cars an Android screen replaces the radio; F5 (B9) (2016–2024): Coding activation of the Audi smartphone interface on MIB2 cars where the hardware allows; already fitted on most facelift cars, where we add a wireless adapter or sort import settings; B10 (2024 on): Factory wireless CarPlay and Android Auto; nothing to add, and we handle connection problems and settings on imported cars. From €150. Send your reg and we confirm the route and the price the same day.

By generation

CarPlay on each A5: how we do it.

Find your years in the first two columns. The factory system decides the route, and the route decides the price — send the reg if you are not sure which one you have.

FAQ

Audi A5 CarPlay: questions people ask.

Answers for A5 owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.

Ask on WhatsApp
Which A5 gets the CarPlay box and which gets activation?

8T cars from 2009 to 2016 with MMI 3G or 3G+ get the CarPlay box: it feeds CarPlay and Android Auto into the factory screen and is worked from the MMI knob. F5 cars from 2016 with MIB2 usually have the smartphone interface in the hardware, so we enable it by coding; facelift cars from 2020 mostly have it already. Send the reg and we confirm which yours is.

Can an early 8T with MMI 2G or the Concert radio get CarPlay?

Yes, but by a different route. MMI 2G cars from 2007 and 2008 take an interface made for the 2G screen, and Concert or Symphony radio cars have no video input at all, so there an Android screen in the factory position is the sensible option: wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB and a camera input, with the steering-wheel buttons kept.

How much does CarPlay cost on a Audi A5?

It depends on the generation. 8T (B8) (2007–2016): from €350; F5 (B9) (2016–2024): from €150; B10 (2024 on): from €150. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.

Which Audi A5 years can have CarPlay?

8T (B8), built 2007–2016 (Concert or Symphony radio, MMI 2G on the first cars, MMI 3G from 2009 and 3G+ from the 2012 facelift; Bang & Olufsen optional): CarPlay box on the factory MMI 3G and 3G+ screen, controlled from the MMI knob; on Concert radio cars an Android screen replaces the radio. F5 (B9), built 2016–2024 (MMI radio plus with a 7-inch screen or MMI navigation plus on MIB2 with 8.3 inches to 2019; MIB3 with a 10.1-inch touchscreen from the 2020 facelift; Audi smartphone interface optional, standard on later cars): Coding activation of the Audi smartphone interface on MIB2 cars where the hardware allows; already fitted on most facelift cars, where we add a wireless adapter or sort import settings. B10, built 2024 on (MMI panoramic display with a 14.5-inch touchscreen on Audi's Android-based platform; wireless CarPlay and Android Auto standard): Factory wireless CarPlay and Android Auto; nothing to add, and we handle connection problems and settings on imported cars.

How long does CarPlay take on a Audi A5?

8T (B8): two to four hours; F5 (B9): under an hour; B10: about an hour. You can wait at the workshop or drop the A5 in the morning and collect it the same day.

What stays factory when you fit CarPlay on a Audi A5?

8T (B8): the Concert or Symphony radio, MMI 2G on the first cars, MMI 3G from 2009 and 3G+ from the 2012 facelift; Bang & Olufsen optional and its controls stay; the box sits behind the trim and is switched from the factory buttons. F5 (B9): nothing physical changes — the MMI radio plus with a 7-inch screen or MMI navigation plus on MIB2 with 8.3 inches to 2019; MIB3 with a 10.1-inch touchscreen from the 2020 facelift; Audi smartphone interface optional, standard on later cars stays and the CarPlay tile simply appears. B10: CarPlay is factory-fitted, so we only add to it.
