I don't have an Audi but I'm still watching #hope

Wireless CarPlay is *supposed* to work this way. But the connection process always fails when I try it. I’m left to use a cable instead. Audi technicians at my dealership say it’s Apple’s fault. [2019 eTron]

Will 2018 Q5 get firmware updates to support this?

[kazuya]

I own an Audi A1 2020 model with wireless car play. When the system is working, it’s great ! But I often get problems. CarPlay won’t work. The connection is there but it isn’t working. I need to turn off\on Bluetooth to make it work (iPhone X).

Just bought the new model Q3 to find the wifi version of carplay doesn't work in this model, only the old fashion usb cable, not good eh!!

Hi Audi, I just wonder if my 2018 A4 Allroad will receive a MMI update to support the wireless Carplay? Please let us know, thank you!

[franciscofigueroagrant]

Does this work in Chile with my audi a3 2022?

[fatjon]

My Jan 2019 UK A8 does not have wireless CarPlay. I am kicking up a stink as Audi announced ALL new models from May 2018 would have it. I think they are only enabling it in the USA which just is not good enough.

[fluxcapacitor]

A6/A7/A8: OK. But Audi A4 2019 does not have Wireless CarPlay even with the Qi wireless charging pad option in the armrest + the Audi Smartphone interface/AppConnect option!

[Techgrippe]

Still watching this even though I have 0 plan or money of owning this brand

[neverevermind]

My 2020 SQ5 Technik doesn’t have it. Why Audi???

[dkdanis]

[generalacc]

Hi & please help. I have an A1 2019. I cannot seem to find airplay!! Is it possible it is not activated on my model??

[Subsurface]

Still no wireless connection on the 2019 TTRS. Shame on you Audi.

[vishnuunni]
