Why it shows “No signal” when tap “Car-info” to switch back to original Audi interface?

Why there is no audio from new Android system?
Answer:
1. Please press MEDIA button on the raido panel and check audio source options.Make sure the External Audio input(AUX) is activated.

Where should I mount the main metal box? The original LVDS cord is too short to mount it in the glove box?
Please take apart the glove box on passenger side and there is a hole allows you to put the metal box hide behind the screen. Then the LVDS cord is long enough.
Why it does not power off when I shut down the car?
Answer: Please make sure the CANBUS connector is connected behind the climate control panel as shown below.
