The current 2016 only have the eyes free Siri and google voice features.
I believe they did announce that the 2016 new Q7 will have the full CarPlay.
The hope is that the 2016 vehicles like a6/a7/a3 that have he new mmi will get upgraded to the ability as well.

As to making the systems backward compatible to earlier models, it's dubious at best - Audi is not known for being upgrade friendly. On the other hand, perhaps someone will figure out how to do it, undoubtedly at a significant cost.

While the press release from last January re CarPlay and Android auto in the MY2016 Q7, I haven't seen any mention if this is for the NA market, Could be a year later for the U.S.

The press releases about "As more sophisticated technology becomes available, the highly flexible Audi MIB-2 platform will allow owners to simply upgrade their software for improved online, media, voice command, navigation and telephony functions." would indicate they're having a change of heart over the previous upgrade policy.
It makes sense. Supporting multiple versions of software is hard. My wife's BMW upgrades OTA in the background. Hopefully the Audi will as well, but even if you have to manually trigger an update from MMI Setup or if the dealers do it automatically when the car comes in for service, that's not the end of the world.

What is "MIB-2"? The second Men In Black movie?
Just kidding. The MIB-2 MMI platform was introduced with the MY2016 A6 (for those reading this thread that might not know what it is).
