Add Apple Carplay/Android Auto Functionality to the OEM Factory Radio in the Gen 1 Audi R8

Van Deursen (www.vandeursen.be/), a car electronic shop in Belgium (not the Netherlands as I incorrectly said in the video @ 2:00) offers a plug-and-play kit to allow you to add Apple Carplay/Android Auto functionality to the Audi factory radio units that ran the RNS-E firmware (such as the radio units in the Gen 1 R8).
Here is how you do it for the Gen 1 Audi R8.
For specific coding instructions, I've written a DIY post that goes into detail on how to code the radio unit for the Gen 1 Audi R8.

Further corrections I got from Van Deursen:
For cars with AUX, their kit still gives you the ability to use AUX in addition to Apple Carplay/Android Auto.
Adding touchscreen support will permanently change the screen, preventing your radio unit from reverting back to stock, which they do not support.

Hi great video, I've been waiting for something like this for a long time, I'm going to buy it. What I also noticed is your steering wheel, which I would like to install. Does everything work? Do you have any disadvantages? How difficult is the coding

@ftwgarage 5 ай бұрын

Yea the Gen 2 steering wheel buttons work, including start button. I made a video on the Gen 2 wheel install as well.

Nice video mate, thank you. Are you getting the firmware from the website shown in the video? or specifically from Van Deursen?

@ftwgarage 11 ай бұрын

Van Deursen will take care of providing you the firmware on a CD-ROM. It's an all inclusive kit.

Great video, I picked up on one item you said “plug in my phone”. Does this support wireless CarPlay or is it only wired CarPlay?

@ftwgarage 7 ай бұрын

The module in the video supports wired and wireless CarPlay

i know someone who's able to make carplay added to rns-e led, in a4 b7 you need to get it from seat exeo.

An aftermarket unit with the enfig kit makes better use of the rear backup camera and amplifier. Sound quality is better and rear camera image is more useable than the factory unit. And you get a higher resolution touchscreen. You do need to purchase extra hardware for satellite radio but with streaming services, it’s pointless unless you really want XM or whatever.

Yes, everyone knows that already. The whole point is to keep everything looking stock and OEM for this one mod.

I wonder if this would work with my aftermarket unit with CarPlay so that I can play videos on it

@jose15238 11 ай бұрын

There products that allow that. Its a little usb box and it allows u to play KZfaq while moving. Google it

As long as your aftermarket unit can support video in motion

Anyone know if this would work on a S3 8P (2009)?

@ftwgarage 7 ай бұрын

In theory it should work. I would contact Van Deursen so they can create a kit that works for your S3.

Can you make a video on how to upgrade the speakers and install aftermarket amplifiers on the R8? The stock sound system is disappointing :(

Haven't thought about upgrading the speakers. I'll look into it.

Done that and replaced the front drivers as they where shot. Added rear two way speakers and their own amp plus an active sub behind the passenger seat. Since the OEM screen is too small for my eyes, I decided to upgrade to an ALPINE Halo 9. That one came with a Cam output so I could add a rear cam as well. All a little messy and you need patience since room is an issue. It is however possible.
