Audi A5 CarPlay installation, generation by generation.

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.

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.

It depends on the generation. 8T (B8) (2007–2016): from €350; F5 (B9) (2016–2024): from €250; B10 (2024 on): from €250. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.

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.

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.

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.

Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (8T, F5 and B10) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
