Adding CarPlay and Android Auto to your Audi requires a bit more attention than in a VW: Audi uses various MMI (Multi Media Interface) systems depending on the year and model, and that determines whether it's better to replace the screen with a specific one or add an interface to the original MMI. In this guide, we'll clarify it by model: A1, A3, A4, A6, Q3, Q5, and Q7.
Quick answer: for Audi with an old MMI (pre-2010), replace the screen with a specific one that includes CarPlay. For MMI 3G/3G+/MIB (2010–2018), a CarPlay interface preserves the original aesthetic. For MIB 2/3 (2017+), many already come with CarPlay activated or as an option.

- MMI 3G / 3G+ (2010–2015) – A4 B8, A6 C6/C7, Q5, Q7 → CarPlay interface on original screen
- MIB / MIB 2 (2015–2017) – many models compatible with interface
- MIB 3 (2018+) – many already have native CarPlay
