AUDI R8 INFOTAINMENT UPGRADE: WIRELESS CARPLAY!
Рет қаралды 21,727
Күн бұрынAfter owning the Audi R8 for 2 years, my biggest disappointment with the car has been the infotainment system. Even though this car is model year 2014, the head unit is from the prehistoric ages. It doesn't support Bluetooth audio, no apple car play, no android auto, no touch screen. And it overall looks super outdated.
I recently came across a seller of an aftermarket head unit that has been specifically designed for the Audi R8. This really intrigued me because it was advertised as pure "Plug & Play" which means there is minimal work with the replacement. It is an 8inch touch screen Android system, with wireless Carplay & Android Auto support.
Watch the video to find out how I installed this new head unit! I'm really enjoying it so far!

I recently bought “ACARNAVI Audi R8 V8 V10 2007-2015 Gen 2 Android 12” for my Audi. Here is my experience: • There is no manual to the system! • The system doesn’t support fading the front/rear loudspeakers by hardware despite the is an app where you can alter the center position of the sound • It seems there is no support (cable) to the subwoofer • The system can’t saturate the B&O amplifier like the original system -> you can’t play as loud with Audi system • I it possible to apply a SIM card to the system - I think it only works for navigation - wasn’t able to get to work for phone calls. • The radio (FM based) was not working (not able to receive any station). The build-in antenna works fine with Audis radio and the supplied adapter cable seems to be ok • Noise from cars ignition system does appear in the loudspeakers - that problem was solved in car radios 30 years ago • It is not possible to turn the system off • There is no support from the seller I’m not impressed about this China hardware, and I decided to return to the seller (no response) and start a charge back on my credit card. DON’T BY IT!!!

Brilliant! Taking delivery of a 2012 R8 V 10 next week. This stock infotainment system was the only disappointing thing on the test drive. I just resolved to live with it. Then I found your vid! Will probably elect to take it to a shop for install. I am not that brave to be tearing into an R8 unsupervised! Thanks a million times!

Hello, just seen your video, great perseverance. I'd have given up the installation for fear of damaging something. Well done. I have a 2011 Manual V10 RHD. I was thinking of installing a genuine Audi R8 reversing camera - do you think it would work with this unit and retain the dynamic parking lines? I live in NZ but the car is being shipped from the UK.

I ordered this unit....they sent the wrong model and the "carbon fiber" wrapping was damaged. Many attempts to return the unit has been met with radio silence (possibly the hard lockdown in Shangai has something to do with it) . My installer also commented the unit was of inferior quality just by the "feel" alone. I ended up ordering the Kenwood unit.
