Thanks for your help so far. I installed my RoadTop unit yesterday (the camera is still in transit) and it seems to work fine. However, I was a bit confused about the Bluetooth setup. The manual says I should disconnect from the MMI, then enable “Use Car BT Channel” in the CarPlay settings, and finally reconnect to the MMI. For now I simply connect to the CarPlay unit’s Bluetooth and it seems to work fine, except that the microphone fails to work about nine times out of ten. I am using the car’s built-in microphone, not the external one. Do you remember exactly how you set up the Bluetooth connection and whether you had any issues with sound or the microphone?

Thanks for all that. Did you then cut the wires for one of the parking lines and also for 1080p, as shown in the product images?

I've found this unit and this camera. The CarPlay units all look the same to me with just a different branding, but I am open to recommendations. Did you also retrofit the camera oder was it preinstalled?

Hello, I'm planning to add Apple CarPlay and a rear-view camera to my 2014 Audi A6. The CarPlay part seems pretty straightforward, but I'm not sure how the camera integration works. I'd love for the camera to work just like the factory ones with dynamic guidelines and that proper OEM feel. The CarPlay unit I'm looking at says it supports reverse cameras, so I figure I wouldn't need a separate module for just the camera. What I'm wondering is how these aftermarket CarPlay units usually handle the rear camera display. Do they show their own camera interface when you reverse, or do they just switch back to the original Audi MMI camera system? If they go back to the original MMI view, I guess I'd need to enable the camera through VCDS and maybe calibrate it with that special mat thing? But if the CarPlay unit does the camera stuff itself, I'm not really sure how good or accurate it would be, especially with things like the dynamic guidelines or judging distances. Any advice would be great. Thanks!
