How do I switch the original Audi interface to the new upgrade system?
Answer: Please tap the screen.
Why it shows a black screen with no signal when tapping “Original” to switch back to the original Audi interface?
Answer: Please check the CAR-LVDS port. Make sure you connect the LVDS plug (removed from the OEM screen) to the new screen.
Why there is no audio from the new upgrade system?
Answer:
1. Please press MEDIA button on the raido panel and check audio source options.Make sure the External Audio input(AUX) is activated.
Note if your car has the AMI option instead of AUX, then you need to plug the Audi AMI-AUX cord(this cord is sold separately) into the AMI port in the glove box on the passenger side. After plugging this cord, the AMI will change to AUX on the screen.
2. Then tap the screen to access the new upgrade system. You should be able to hear sound.
Where should I mount the main metal box? The original LVDS cord is too short to mount in the glove box?
Please take apart the glove box on the passenger side and there is a hole that allows you to put the metal box hidden behind the screen. Then the LVDS cord is long enough.
Why it does not power off when I shut down the car?
Answer: Please make sure the CANBUS connector is connected behind the climate control panel as shown below.
