Upgrading to Carplay - SQ5 with B&O

[55fanatic]

Looking to upgrade my 2014 SQ5 to a carplay 10" screen, either the RSNav or one of the other Aliexpress units. I keep seeing that some of them aren't compatible with all the versions of the factory radio. Can someone tell me if I am able to upgrade with my B&O system?

you have nav too? yes you can upgrade! if you look on the rsnav website there's a list of the different MMI systems and you can pick out which one you have. guessing you have 3G MMI high plus, same as me it is compatible

yes you can upgrade. I also have a 2014 Sq5 but without B&O running RSnav S3

This might be helpful - I have no other information about it, came across it looking for something for another vehicle:

A US B8.5 vehicle is going to have either Concert (dash unit says Audi concert; no navigation, not MMI; sometimes referred to as CAN bus infotainment system) or MMI 3G+ (dash unit says Audi multimedia; marketing term MMI navigation plus; MOST bus). The front end infotainment system is what you care about when looking at these modernization options. The back end sound system is not relevant (US B8 vehicle going to have either standard sound system or B&O sound system).

My dash says Audi Multimedia. So I will shop for an mmi 3g unit

Just bought an inav for my 2015 sq5 today. 4x4shop.ca. All these units run audio through the mmi jack. Hoping to install tomorrow. Will update post.

I picked up the Apple CarPlay unit from ECStuning and it works well. Install is relatively straight forward for my 16' Sq5 with the Audi Multimedia. The trickiest part was finding the connection to the CANBUS that was tucked away behind the glove box on the left hand side. I believe the connector was colored orange ,but don't quote me on that. I also ran there mic all the way to the stock mic location near the map lights and wedged it in front of the stock mic and cover which now can't be seen.
