Radio-Upgrade
Audi Q5(8R) LHD 2008-2017 Radio Upgrade with 10 inch screen
Aftermarket GPS Navigation Head Unit is specially designed to upgrade Audi Q5(B8) 2008-2017 factory radio system. It has the same plug and harness as the original radio, plug-and-play. However, this product only replaces the original LCD screen unit and retains the factory FM/CD head unit, so the original Audi car computer/CD/FM/AM/Sirius/XM will still work as before.
Compatible Vehicles:
Audi Q5 left hand drive(Type 8R: 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017)

Answer: Yes, it is plug-and-play. It has the same plugs and harness as the original Audi system. You do not need to program your car when installation. All necessary accessories are included in the package. You do not need to buy anything else to make it work. You can still check the original Audi car info as before.
How do I switch the new upgrade system to the original Audi interface?
Answer: Please tap the "Original" icon on the home screen to switch to the original Audi interface.
How do I switch the original Audi interface to the new upgrade system?
Answer: Please tap the screen.
Why is there no audio from the new upgrade system?
Answer:
1. Please press the MEDIA button on the radio panel and check the audio source options. Make sure the External Audio input(AUX) is activated.
Note that if your car has the AMI option instead of AUX, you need to plug the Audi AMI-AUX cord(this cord is sold separately) into the AMI port in the glove box on the passenger side. After plugging this cord, the AMI will change to AUX on the screen.
2. Then tap the screen to access the new upgrade system. You should be able to hear sound.
Why does it not power off when I shut down the car?
Answer: Please ensure the CANBUS connector is connected behind the climate control panel, as shown below.
