Replaces the factory screen in 2 models with a 12.3 inch display running wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Your factory radio and audio system stay exactly as they are — only the screen changes.

Vehicles this fits

• Audi Q5 2009-2016 — B8/B8.5 with Multimedia MMI
• Audi SQ5 2009-2016 — B8/B8.5 with Multimedia MMI

What you get

• 12.3 inch screen — considerably larger than the factory display it replaces
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus wired if you prefer
• Your factory system still runs alongside it — switch between the original interface and the new one
• Factory controls keep working: the rotary knob or touchpad, steering wheel buttons, radio, climate and cameras
• Android built in for apps that CarPlay doesn't cover

What it replaces, and what it doesn't

This is a screen replacement, not a head unit. The factory radio, amplifier and speakers stay in the vehicle and keep working exactly as they do now. What changes is the display — a bigger, sharper one with CarPlay built in.

Nothing is cut. The original screen assembly comes out and this goes in its place.

Fitting

We fit these at our Markham shop for $350. It's dash work rather than a plug-in job, so it's not one we'd recommend attempting at home unless you're comfortable removing trim.
