Audi Q3 2011-2018 Aftermarket Radio Upgrade (free backup camera)

Aftermarket GPS Navigation Head Unit is specially designed to upgrade Audi Q3(8U) 2011-2018 radio system. It has the same plugs and harness as the original radio, plug-and-play. However, this product only replaces the actual LCD screen unit and retains the factory Audi FM/CD unit, so the original Audi car computer/CD/FM/AM/Sirius/XM will still work as before.

Compatible vehicles:
Audi Q3(8U) 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 with RMC/3G+/MIB

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 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 "Car Info" icon on the home screen to switch to the original Audi car computer screen.

How do I switch the original Audi screen to the new upgrade system?
Answer: Please tap the screen.

Why it shows a black screen with no signal when tapping "Car Info" to switch back to the original Audi car computer screen?
Answer: Please check the CAR-LVDS port. Make sure you connect the original LVDS plug (removed from the initial screen) to the CAR-LVDS port on the new screen.

Why is there 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 that if your car has the AMI option instead of AUX, 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 filling 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.
