Hi all -

Apologies if this has been asked before, is it possible to retrofit/enable CarPlay to a 2016 RS6?

Thank in advance.

Depending on when it was built:

...I can check your build date for you if required.

I always though carplay would be great but recently bought a Q2 for the Wife which has it and find that because you actually need to plug the phone in for it to work that, in reality we don't use it.

I would probably plug phone in anyway to charge so that's no biggie!

Built October 15 but does have the I8H option so you may be lucky there.

That's just the licence pack to install; it won't include any labour to do so (and probably not the VAT either).

I'm also interested in this. I have an A6 BiTDi registered 01/09/15 (65 plate). How do I find out if it's possible to upgrade to Car Play?

It can be retrofitted to cars built mid 16 on.
