If you need the hardware give these folks a shout Home | Retrofit They have just done my 2014 allroad with the hardware and everything to upgrade the 3g+ MMI to include carplay/android auto, and it all works a dream ... total cost was £650 with the work done on my drive (wiltshire). Very impressed and would recommend any day.

Due to 3G being shutdown so the MMI 3G+ no longer functioning as it used to, I've been searching for a way of getting Android Auto installed. Lots of places offer to provide the parts, or will fit at their premises, but very few offer an "at home" fitting service. "Simon" from "Autologics" (see previous recommendation) put me in touch with "Adam" from "RetroFit Cars" - [email protected]; https://www.retrofitcars.co.uk He does both, and did the job exceedingly well in a couple of hours, traveling from London to Wiltshire to do the work on my drive, all in cost £650.00 with a 12 month guarantee. Very pleased with the quality of work, his teach-in instructions on how to use it, and it is working very nicely indeed. So big thank yous to "Simon" from "Autologics", and "Adam" from "RetroFit Cars" Very satsified customer and Highly Recommended by me.

Interesting .. when I did mine through them they just sent 3 SD cards and the instructions, and their web site implies thats what they still do, so where/why the remote access comes from I don't know... but I agree .... not a good idea at all !! 😞

Check out these guys, and if what you want is not on their website send them an email .. they are exceedingly helpful and extremely professional. I have had software updates and a reverse camera done by them, and they are presently helping me source an "android auto" install. Highly recommended by me. Autologics | Vehicle Retrofit Specialists If they can't help, and that would surprise me .. some years back I used these guys who provided the software and I did a DIY job . not without its hiccups but we got there ...

When I first got my A6 Allroad - 2nd hand - the towbar was also reluctant to drop, a few squirts with aerosol lubricant and some manual asisstance - waggling it up and down - over a few days - and it now works as intended . I suspect it had not been used for some time.... might be worth a try... The only "fuses" to check are those for the unlocked/locked indication/interlock system .. its a TOTALLY MECHANICAL system ... at least mine is !

I see you are trying to opt for 17" wheels ... perhaps 18" would give better options ?? I have an A6 Allroad which had 20" S line wheels on it from new, I found the ride hard and uncomfortable .. so changed to 18" wheels as these were the OEM option and I find the ride is so much better.

THis is on another car site I visit ... not what one would expect !! https://www.facebook.com/reel/738784335385142 Shows how "noises" are difficult to quantify without examination !!

HI, Thanks for the response.. sort of what I had come to assume. Phone is working on a 2G connection, but the lack of data connection limits the satnav to basic operation only. I guess I either live with it like this or pay for an Android Auto conversion and use the phone apps instead of the car satnav.........

2014 Audi allroad with MMI HN+R which I believe is 3G so my "3" sim has stopped working now they have switched off 3G and don't do 2G. Is it possible to upgrade this to 4G or do I have to find provider who stil does 2G as all networks are binning 3G this year. Any thoughts from anyone 🙂

I used these guys a year od so back. Very helpful, excellent support, decent price and it all worked ..... and still does !! Audi Sat Nav Update Discs | Map DVD 2024

Hi All, 2014 A6 Allroad in black The "colour-coded" wheel arch plastic things are dis-colouring to a sort of greyish colour with the texture of, I believe it's called, "orage peel". Is there any advice as to how to rectify or prevent the problem, don't want to start messing with odds and sods in case I actually make things worse !! If a keen "detailer" has any advice I would welcome such asisstance Regards, E

There are various sites you can use to correctly compare the "rolling circumference" of different wheel/tyre combinations. The obvious reason is to get the answers as close as possible to reduce any effects on speedo/abs etc etc.. An example Tire Size Comparison If the wheel tyre combination is listed on the fuel flap then 100% it will be OK One certain advantage of dropping the wheels size is comfort! The A6 Allroad I purchased had 20" wheels (255/40/20 tyres) ... very quickly changed to 18" (235/55/18 tyres) just for the improvement to ride ! Put simply the total radius is the wheel + the tyre.. if the wheel is large the tyre is skinny, if the wheel is smaller the tyre is taller. The taller the tyre the more flexible and capable of absorbing impacts it becomes. The fact that 18" tyres are, generally, cheaper than 20" tyres was a secondary consideration for me ...... I just wanted to keep my teeth in when driving UK potholed roads !!

In the "pinned" section is my post from when I had a reverse camera fitted to a A6 allroad by Audi Retrofit Specialist | Autologics . Well pleased then, and still am, absolutely no problems with it at all, May I suggest you give them a ring ??

I used these folks, extremely helpful in all respects .. Satnavishop.co.uk worth a check of the website and maybe a phone call !

I used Satnavishop.co.uk to update my 2014 A6 allroad with 3G+ MMI. "David" was extremely helpful, answered every "help" email within an hour, and they sorted all the hiccups easily. Hiccups were unusual, it seems, as some other work had resulted in some of the MMI already being updated, but no-one knew... least of all me. !!
