C7.5 2016 RS7 Apple CarPlay actived!

[widebodyfx]

I posted the process here but you have to have an Audi Connect plan from what others said about the files being VIN bound. https://www.audizine.com/forum/showt...TA-Map-Updates

@carplay_audi on Telegram just added CarPlay to my 2016 RS7, no problems at all! Highly recommended!

If anyone needs a D-link DUB-E100 and an SD card pre-loaded with the correct MMI firmware to do this pm me you can have them for what I paid for them.

Hoping we can upgrade my 2015 A7 face-lift MIB2 with Carplay and Android Auto :)

Cheers!

Kebabman shared that he just sent off the package to you. When you're done with it I would like to purchase from you. Please PM when available. I love how many on the forum are open to helping with another.

Sorry for the noob question but I want to be sure this will work for my A7 before I proceed. What exactly does "facelift" mean? I see the reference on the forums all the time but never figured it out. I have a 2016 A7, it has USB ports under the armrest. Thanks for the help

In 2016, they changed up the headlights and tail-lights to a newer look so they call that facelift. Made it look better. They also changed the MMI to MIB2 but didn’t add CarPlay. It was added to the 2017 models. If you have the USB port under the arm rest which I’m sure you do then he can do this for you. If you’re vehicle production date is after May 2016 then you also go to the dealer and have them activate it for you. If not the guy on Telegram will do it for you. Hope that answered your question.

It does, thanks for the info

[CTRob84]

Just for reference my car is a February 2015 facelift A7 with MIB2 and dual USB ports under the arm rest. I am hopeful AA / Carplay can be activated on my car.

Doogie started it up here, he guinea pigged it and handed off the kit. Happy to help others like he helped me. Love the xpel stealth Daytona on your RS7, classy set up all around.

[carplay]

Carplay&auto No problem at all.

You need to contact him via telegram. He will upload the Mega file. You download file onto a SD card. You need to get the D-link and an Ethernet cable. Your PC needs a SD slot or you need a USB to SD card adapter

[zizzam]

Same, just finished my setup on 2016 A7, works great! Been waiting for this since I got the car and since AOA isnt willing to help, props to @carplay for hooking us up!

[bobby1216]

wait, so isnt this exactally what android auto does? that screen looks alot like mine on android auto as far as I can tell. so dumb question, why wouldn't you just drop old apple technology phones and get an android, lol? either way, pretty cool.

Hi, I’m interested as well for my 2016 S3 (single USB under arm rest next to the Audi music interface port). Would like to get in line to get/pay for the d-link and sd card (and whatever else might have been needed). Thanks.

You are talking about other platforms, this is specific for 2016 C7.5 car

Another 16 RS7 done! Took about an hour, mostly waiting for MMI to process the updates. Simple and straightforward and the integration works better than I had imagined. Sending D-Link adapter and SD card with files onto the next in line!

[TurboNV]

I thought Waze was now available on CarPlay, is that true for what it all have activated?

Yep, Waze works great through CarPlay on my 2016 RS7 now it’s activated.

Question about the upgrade: Should the engine be running during the upgrade process? Or, just keep it in accessory mode?

[kunaldoshi]

Who can walk me through this in English lol I need this!

[kebabman]

@carplay_audi on Telegram speaks English well enough to get the job done no issues, you don’t need to be technical.

Ignition on, engine off.

Can't wait, I use Waze religiously and this will make my life so much less complicated. I recently had my car in the shop and had a loaner that had Carplay and then this thread pops up, have to have it.

I had a battery charger on mine during the install but ended up starting the car eventually as my MMI didn’t want to restart in AC mode. It restarts several times during the process.

I never spoke to the person, only text and photos and it went well. No real issues, just do not jump ahead and do something stupid, also follow instructions and clarify if you are unsure. Sending pics back and forth worked great too.

If anyone uses a USB to Ethernet adapter and gas luck with this update let me know.

[robbieg83]

Is this only available on the RS7? I sure hope I can get it on my 2016 facelift A6

[robbieg83]

I want this badly! I’ll pay whoever I have to. Anyone want to sell me the SD card when they are done?


Sent from my iPhone using Audizine

[Barritia]

I just ordered a usb to Ethernet adapter to test if this will work in laptops with just usb. Stuff should be here this week sometime.

[robbieg83]

Just ordered mine as well. Fingers crossed. I hope that since we are just activating with software, there’s even less possible issues than with the hardware Christian was trying to sell us.

Is it necessary to have an SD card? The CarPlay guy didn’t mention it. Just said the D link adapter

Yes. You download the Mega file onto the SD card. You will move the SD card back and forth between the radio SD1 slot and your PC when he requests you to do so.
