Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on the original Audi A5 screen

This Audi A5 came to our Dublin 11 workshop for a smartphone connectivity upgrade. We fitted a wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interface behind the factory display, allowing the driver to use compatible phone apps on the original screen.

Because the upgrade works with the existing display, there was no need to replace the screen or change the appearance of the dashboard. The interface connects through the vehicle’s existing wiring connectors, with no factory wires cut.

What we fitted

  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interface
  • Connection to the original Audi display
  • Plug-in installation behind the factory screen
  • Integration with the existing infotainment system

The driver can switch between the original Audi menus and the new smartphone interface. CarPlay and Android Auto bring compatible navigation, calling, messaging and music apps onto the factory display.

Will it work with your Audi A5?

Compatibility depends on the model year and the infotainment system fitted to your car. Audi A5 models from 2010–2012 may have different screen and system configurations, so we check the exact setup before recommending an interface. We’ll also confirm how your existing controls, camera and microphone will work with the proposed kit.

Send us your registration and a clear photo of the screen and centre console. We’ll identify the suitable upgrade and provide a fitting quote.

Ask on WhatsApp
Can Apple CarPlay be retrofitted to the Audi A5?

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 the Audi A5 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.
