Frequently Ask Questions:
Is this product plug-and-play? Do I need to program or code my Audi? Do I need to buy an external GPS antenna? Can I still check the car info on the OEM screen?
Answer: Yes, it is totally plug-and-play, it has the same plugs and harness as the original Audi system. You do not need to program your car when installing. All necessary accessories are included in the package. You do not need to buy anything else to make it work. You can still check the original Audi car info as before.
How do I switch the new upgrade system to the original Audi interface?
Answer: Please tap the “Original” icon on the home screen to switch to the original Audi interface.
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 the MEDIA button on the radio panel and check the 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 hide behind the screen. Then the LVDS cord is long enough.
The product with an 8.8”(8870) screen has two parts, an 8.” screen and a “brain” controller box. the product with a 10.25” screen is an all-in-one, it does not have a separate control box. There is not much space behind the original screen to mount the controller box and you need to find a space to mount the controller box. the product with a 10.25 screen does not have this issue.
The T harness that plugs into the side behind the glovebox is not the right connection. photo here
Answer: Please check the attached wiring diagram here. Connect them to the CAN BUS plugs at the rear of the A/C controller panel.
I am getting TPM And and airbag error on my dash now, I assume it's due to that T harness not being plugged in.
Answer: You need to keep the original airbag/hazard button connected to the aftermarket T harness and hide it into the dash. Please check the attached picture here.
Lastly, I am not getting any audio when using CarPlay. Navigation and consoling my phone wirelessly works but no audio coming out of the speakers. It stays on the radio or CD player.
Answer: Please access the original AUDI menu and select the "AUX" audio option. Then try again.
