Are you looking to modernize your Audi B8 S4’s infotainment system without sacrificing its original charm? Integrating Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into your 2009-2016 Audi A4, A5, or S4 has never been easier. This multimedia touch screen upgrade replaces your OEM screen, bringing a suite of modern features directly to your dashboard, enhancing both connectivity and your driving experience.
Unlock Modern Connectivity in Your Audi B8 S4
This innovative upgrade is designed specifically for Audi A4, A5, S4, and S5 B8 models manufactured between 2009 and 2016. It’s compatible with both left-hand drive (LHD) vehicles and Audi’s Concert, Multimedia, and Symphony systems. Whether your Audi is equipped with AMI (Audi Music Interface) or AUX, this system is engineered for seamless integration. For those with AMI but lacking AUX, a simple AMI to 3.5mm audio cable (available separately) ensures full audio compatibility.
Key Features of the B8 S4 CarPlay Upgrade
This upgrade is more than just a screen replacement; it’s a comprehensive infotainment overhaul that retains all of your Audi’s original functionalities while adding cutting-edge features:
- Wireless and Wired CarPlay: Enjoy seamless integration with your iPhone for navigation, calls, music, and Siri.
- Wireless and Wired Android Auto: Connect your Android device to access Google Maps, music, and Google Assistant.
- USB Multimedia Playback: Play videos and music directly from a USB drive.
- Voice Command Support: Utilize Siri or Google Assistant via voice keywords (“Hey Siri” / “Okay Google”) or by long-pressing the steering wheel voice button.
- Steering Wheel Control Compatibility: Maintain control over music, calls, and volume using your steering wheel buttons.
- Original System Retention: Keep your original car radio, CD player, amplifier, and all factory functions.
- Plug and Play Installation: No need to cut wires or modify your car’s original setup.
- Parking Sensor and Original Camera Support: Fully compatible with your Audi’s parking sensors and factory rear camera.
- Fiber Optic System Compatibility: Ensures seamless integration with Audi’s original fiber optic system.
It’s important to note that this unit operates as an extension of your smartphone’s capabilities via CarPlay or Android Auto and is not a standalone Android system. When your phone is not connected, the system defaults back to your OEM interface, or allows for basic USB media playback. Airplay and screen mirroring are not supported.
Easy Operation and Seamless Switching
The system is designed to be user-friendly and non-intrusive. In its default state, the original video signal from your Audi’s system passes through unchanged. When you activate the CarPlay unit, it takes over the display, providing you with the CarPlay or Android Auto interface.
Switching between your original Audi system and the CarPlay interface is effortless. A simple press and hold of the “menu” button allows you to toggle between systems, ensuring you always have access to your preferred features. Furthermore, the system intelligently switches to the reverse camera view automatically when you put your car in reverse, regardless of whether you are in the CarPlay interface or the original Audi system.
High-Definition Touchscreen Display
Experience a visually stunning upgrade with the system’s 8.9-inch touch screen display. Boasting a resolution of 1920*720, the screen delivers crisp, clear visuals, making navigation, media viewing, and app interaction a pleasure.
Simple Installation and Comprehensive Support
Installation is designed to be straightforward with plug-and-play connectivity, minimizing any disruption to your vehicle. Detailed installation manuals are available for both MMI 3G and non-GPS versions, ensuring a smooth setup process regardless of your Audi’s existing configuration.
