Yes, I can use can bus shield and cpu interface board to talk to the android box, but since the TV tuner is integrated with Optical bus, every button I press, it has function, then it will be duplicate when learning the Android box key. The only way you can use the MMI key to control something is the interface for the device must NOT be integrated with optical bus which defeat the purpose of seamless integration with original MMI. If you don't want to use touchscreen, the new air mouse is beautiful. You can also use the video interface but you have to manually switch the screens.
Actually, this system is the best for the money, versatile and totally integrated perfectly thanks to the great design of the Audi MMI system.

Finally I found the best Android TV Box for $34 on Aliexpress - It's plug and play with USB sound adapter, touchscreen panel, USB CarPlay & Android Auto dongle, Android 7.1.2 version OS. Can't wait to put it on the Q7.

Hello Paul,
Watch the videos and if you want to do something like that, I have the whole set for my Q7, I can send them to you at cost, will be plug and play, I still remembered you gave me your old trunk motor. I don't think you will use the touch screen because you don't want to disable the screen. You can use an airmouse to navigate through the Android Auto.
My Q7 set:
- TV tuner - working - $80.
- Optical splitter - $18.
- 20-Pin cable harness with video/audio both channels - $3.
- 3m Fakra - Fakra from TV tuner to RVC controller for video. $8.
- Android TV Box with AV cables output. $40.
- CarPlay/Android USB dongle. $45.
- 10 ft Video cable from the trunk to the front. $5.
- 10 ft audio cable from the trunk to the front. $5
- USB audio dongle with mic input for CarPlay/Android Auto. $5.
- Analog microphone. $3.
- USB hub. $8.
- USB power cable.
Shipping USPS Large Box: $17.10.

What you need to get are:
- 2A USB 12V cigarette power brick.
- the ground loop noise filter for the audio or I can send mine for $10. It's on Amazon.
- air mouse with lighted keyboard since you don't use touch screen.

I just want to play my lossless music (FLAC) on the B&O. Can you do that with this setup?

ltooz_a6_a8_q7

It's an android OS, just download the VLC or FLAC players and play. It's not Audi interface.

Only heard of air mouse, now actually use it, very efficient.

Pretty cool. After looking at everything required to retrofit....I think I'll just wait for my next car to have it factory installed.

ltooz_a6_a8_q7

I thought so LOL. If you have AMI, Navigation working, Bluetooth music streaming and you don't care for watching movies, you don't need this. But I do need CarPlay and watch movies while waiting for the family shopping. Love the touchscreen.
It's good for people don't have AMI.

Cheers,
Louis
