Installed mine a month ago. Great system. I've put up a little review video of about it so you can see the functionality in a bit more in depth with the rest of the OEM mmi system. I would recommend this upgrade and install is not too stressful. have a look at other video to know how to remove the glove box. the rest is in this video just take your time.
Yeah it seems to do the job. Since install I would say I’ve had it not work 3 separate times. Each time it has resolved itself after car is left off then back on again a few hours later. I did look into the other systems but the lack of reviews and info put me off.
@@mightybeat888 nice, thank you! I your video you've said that the car had an already installed Bluetooth - that is now obsolete? Also you've swapped the CD changer for Ami - how? and is it now obsolete too? I'm wondering how to replace the 15 year old parrot with microphone and try to handle calls through @mr12volt as well.
So. Factory Bluetooth is needed to handle phone calls. It has its own mic too. After 12 volt install you will have 2 simultaneous connections. 1 to 12 volt the other to Audi MMi. When call comes in/out it switches over to the MMi Bluetooth system then goes back to 12 volt after call. I’ve tried call to test without MMi Bluetooth and it doesn’t work. You can answer calls but no audio. My current Bluetooth module has failed so no calls for me at the moment. For Ami it was just unplugged from cd changer then into 2nd hand ami unit. This allowed me to have and aux in input. This is how I used to get music from my phone into car system. I addded on the end of of aux input a Bluetooth receiver so phone could stream audio wirelessly. I have kept that too just as a back up if 12 volt would to fail. Can still use simultaneously now. Just change input through MMi system. So overall with this 12 volt install I’ve built onto the existing MMi and not lost any other functionality. Bonus having the rear reverse camera too.
Brilliant bit of kit, nicely packaged too. Installation is straightforward and it gives your A6 C6 all the technology of a more recent model thanks to Android Auto
They charged me an invoice for one of their items and Ghosted me afterward. It's been 10 days since I processed my payment and no tracking info has been provided, no one answers their phone, emails. NOTHING.
How can I do this with an A6 4F 2008 with the MMI 2g basic plus? My car has the navigation, but not the colour display, and I would still like android auto..
@@mr12volt Yeah I figured... but isn't there still a way to add the stuff needed to the trunk and then upgrade it? I mean it might be more complicated but what would I need to do that?
My Audi is a 2005 Audi A6 3.2L Quattro. I installed this in January 2024, and it works like a charm! :) It took me about 1.5 to 2 hours, but it definitely can be done faster. The hardest part is on 5:54
I installed it and the MMI and carplay works properly but the car doesnt start any more. Also on board computer not working. I retired the Mr12volt instalation and put back the original installation, now the on board computer works and the engine starts but not the airbag, pilot light is on in the board. Do you know why this could happen?
After trying to install this my car will no longer start. I removed all the mr12volt hardware and put all the original cords back where they were but it won’t start. I don’t understand, how does the MMI even mess with the ability to start? What can I do?
The interface gives a add on feature to your original mmi system, it cannot damage your radio system. check for possible connector left out or other possible short circuit during installation.
One question, lets say i play a song form spotify but i want to change the EQ settings (i have DSP sound system), how is that going to happen? or simply said is the music playback going to interrupt when i want to change the EQ settings ?
Hi, I have a 2010 A6 special edition with 2G mmi. The MMI module is in the side of the boot/trunk of the car, not in the dashboard. Can I still install this CarPlay module? Thanks.
how do you control android auto when the screen in AUdi A6 is not touchscreen? Does ut support factory backup cam when you put car in reverse? Please reply I allready have your bluetooth adapter, and now would like this

Is it sufficient or would you rather go for the full exchange including the display unit?

@mightybeat888 Brilliant. This would mean that I only have to figure out the Bluetooth module+microphone for the calls.

Hi, mr12volt only supports on OEM fitted screen. not on other aftermarket screen.

It does not support for MMI 2g basic sadly

My car is broken now after this tutorial. It won’t start anymore
its all plug and play , it does not affect any of your car function, nor damaging the car if the installation is done correctly
Updates?
I’m having the same problem after trying to install this. Did you ever figure out why it wasn’t starting? Please help lol
You must have left a connector out or damaged a connector, or trapped a cable and caused a short

Does this work with A6 2007?
It works on all mmi 2g high.
Can I install this if my AMI is dead ? Mine is MMI 2G
You need to have a working mmi to install mr12volt
I have a audi a6 allroad 2008, you think is it possible ?
Make sure u have the mmi 2g high and it works definitely.
will it work with the factory amp

Just go back to the OEM MMI system menu to do it.

2010 A6 should be a mmi 3g not 2g. It works perfectly with 2010 though.
Hey, i don’t have an AMI connector in my Glove Box. Does it still works??
it uses MOST bus system thr the fiber optical , therefore it doesnt matter whether it has a ami or not.
