Audi A6 · CarPlay

Audi A6 CarPlay installation, generation by generation.

Radio King does CarPlay and Android Auto retrofit on every Audi A6 generation we see: C6 (4F) (2004–2011): CarPlay box on the MMI 2G High screen, worked from the MMI knob; an Android screen on cars with the basic MMI display; C7 (4G) (2011–2018): CarPlay box on the MMI 3G+ screen on 2011–2014 cars, the job we did on a 2013 A6; coding activation of the smartphone interface on MIB2 facelift cars where the hardware allows, a box on the rest; C8 (4K) (2018 on): Usually factory-fitted; a wireless adapter on wired MIB2+ cars, activation by coding where the interface was not ordered, settings sorted on imported cars. From €150. Send your reg and we confirm the route and the price the same day.

By generation

CarPlay on each A6: 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 A6 CarPlay: questions people ask.

Answers for A6 owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.

Ask on WhatsApp
Which A6 gets the CarPlay box and which gets activation?

C6 cars with MMI 2G High and 2011–2014 C7 cars with MMI 3G+ get the box: CarPlay and Android Auto on the factory screen, worked from the MMI knob, with the reversing camera through the same box if you want one, as on the 2013 A6 we did. 2015–2018 C7 facelift cars with MIB2 can often be activated by coding. C8 cars mostly have it already.

My A6 C8 has CarPlay but needs a cable. Can it go wireless?

Yes. 2018–2020 C8 cars on MIB2+ have the smartphone interface wired only, and a small wireless adapter plugged into the factory port makes the phone connect on its own every time you get in. Cars from around 2021 on MIB3 have wireless CarPlay from the factory, so there we only sort pairing problems and settings on imported cars.

How much does CarPlay cost on a Audi A6?

It depends on the generation. C6 (4F) (2004–2011): from €450; C7 (4G) (2011–2018): from €150; C8 (4K) (2018 on): from €150. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
