Hi all, I'm about to take delivery of a 2015 A6 190 SE Ultra.  I am given to understand that the MMI on these does not support CarPlay and cannot be software unlocked.  After some bad experiences with aftermarket CarPlay modules fitted to other vehicles in my family I for sure don't want to go down that route.  I've searched on here (maybe I didn't learn the correct terms yet?) for OEM upgrades which I believe involves new screen, dash trim, etc but I've not found any real solid information.

I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction for OEM upgrades or someone to talk to about it.  I'm not fussed about getting a new dash cluster but if it all has to get fitted together then so be it.

Also I'd be interested to learn of others' experiences getting the AdBlue mapped out but not physically removed.  Worthwhile doing?

For the most part I'm not planning to do anything to the car and no power upgrade remaps or anything.  I just needed a big comfortable motorway cruiser for two monthly round trips from Edinburgh to London.

Hello,

I did an upgrade to my 2010 A5 MMI using a product supplied by a UK company called Integrated Automotive - www.integratedautomotive.co.uk - It is a plug and play but I elected to use my friendly local expert as it is quite a tricky affair which does involve some basic dashboard dismantling skills.

Not cheap but should give you what you need. 

I also opted for front & rear camera as well which was IMHO well worth it

Best regards,

David👍

Thanks, how was the sound quality?  I had a similar system in my old van and the sound was terrible.  Likewise the unit that my friend has in her Range Rover.  I'd really prefer an entirely OEM upgrade if it's at all possible.

The sound is OK. But the existing B&O car system is better TBH and that’s how I run mine. 
I guess OEM and s best but this comes a decent second?

I am overall very happy with mine as I have the Car Play installed in a car of a vintage where Car Play was just a pipe dream….

Best regards

David
