MMI RMC CarlinKit CarPlay Retrofit Solution Box installation in Audi Q3 (8U)

Audi RMC CarPlay Box installation installation in Q3

8U (2011-), Audi, Q3/RS Q3

Installation of Carplay Box solution from CarlinKit in Audi Q3 (8U). This vehicle was made in 2012 and was equipped with basic Audi RMC system. At that time there was no CarPlay option and no factory upgrade to get CarPlay onto the navigation display. Today I’m installing aftermarket solution that brings wireless CarPlay, AndroidAuto, USB playback, and more to the factory screen.

Hidden menu in Audi RMC system lets you access and change some of the navigation and multimedia system parameters. Hidden green diagnostic menu can be useful when diagnosing faulty radio tuner, GPS antenna receiver, reverse camera and other system components.

Audi navigation systems look similar but in differences between them are significant. The confusion is even stronger since most system use very similar “Audi Multi Media Interface” splash screen and user interface.
