I emailed kufatec and asked if they had an aftermarket product or a software update but they do not. I'm sure someone is working on a coding or some sort of an update on this.

I'm not sure how to read the details though, is it or isn't it possible for an A6 2016?
I read elsewhwere that the product is simply a booklet with three codes that need to be enabled by a dealer.

I found the same link - here's the list of compatible models
  • A6 Saloon 2015
  • A6 Saloon L 2016
  • A6 Avant 2015
  • A6 allroad quattro 2015
  • S6 Saloon 2015
  • S6 Avant 2015
  • RS 6 Avant 2015
  • A7 Sportback 2015
  • S7 Sportback 2015
  • RS 7 Sportback 2015
  • Q7 2016
  • Q7 e-tron 2016
  • SQ7 2017

Can anyone confirm they've done this? I'll talk to my dealer here in Germany about it.

Would love to hear back on this as well. I'm assuming a 2015 EU A6 should have the same hardware as a 2016 US A6. Could be wrong though.

I did a lot of digging around and unless you have a 2017 it can't be done. Several dealers checked on it. I even got responses from Huntingdon Audi, who is selling the module on eBay.

If this is just a code, I'm sure there'll be a way around it very soon.

Both the posting links state that whilst it is for the 2015 A6 & A7 models onwards it is only applicable for 2017 models. Also, although it does not say it for the A6/A7 (it does for Q7) it will require Navigation Plus which replaces the AMI port with USB ports in the armrest

I recently bought the 8" Screen, head unit 4G1035025, touch 4G1919610F and the GPS antenna to upgrade my A6 2016 from RMC to MIB2. I understand that these are the basic components to have the option to have CarPlay in the future but for now I just want the SIM card in order to have google maps and navigation. Also to have the rear camera with original Audi components. My issue is that after I replaced the parts, the screen does come out and the nav, radio, media buttons do not respond. I checked with VCDS and in the electronics1, I clicked on Navigation but got an error about communication or non responding. Is there any code that I might be missing? Included are the image of the head units that I have and what I did.
Thanks in advance for your help,

Has anyone tried Naviplus mirroring device? I saw it today for AU $750.
