Hello,

I have an Audi A6 C7 from 2013 - non face lift - with the below version of MMI - any chance I can activate the CarPlay on it? Either if it is with cable or wireless, im fine with either honestly. I think I have MMI 3g+ ? Forgot rn exactly.

I do not have Audi Connect on the menu also, I dont know if that helps or not. (also no SIM tray)

If someone can help me with some information if CarPlay can be activated without any external modules? I Also have VCDS in case i need it.

For the 2015 and older you need an add on like RSNAV. For the 2016 you can get it turned on and the 2017 and newer is already activated.

Short answer is no it cannot be done. CarPlay was not even launched by Apple until March 2014 so it is no surprise that a car launched in 2011 does not support it. When Apple did the facelift in 2015 and added LTE/4G connectivity tot he enhanced navigation system, CarPlay was not available until a year or so later on those systems either. IT was never available with the RMC system. There may be some third party products that will allow you to add a form of CarPlay to the RMC system, but nothing is possible with either coding or software upgrades

You can install the carlinklife carplay module kit, which is very simple and only takes 20 minutes to complete. This is their installation video (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PoW...usp=drive_link). I have been using it for more than 5 months and it still runs carplay smoothly. It is a very good choice for an old car like ours, retaining everything about the original car.
