🧠 Why Retrofit? The Smart Solution for Audi Q3 Owners
The Audi Q3 2016 is a well-crafted SUV with timeless design and comfort—but when it comes to infotainment, it shows its age. No Apple CarPlay. No Android Auto. No wireless navigation or streaming.
At MC Audio, we specialise in OEM+ solutions that bring modern tech to your existing system without sacrificing factory aesthetics or functionality. This time, we brought a full CarPlay & Android Auto experience to a 2016 Audi Q3—no new screen needed. Just precision, integration, and convenience. 💼📡
🔧 The Retrofit Module: Seamless, Non-Invasive, Smart
We installed a CarPlay & Android Auto interface module that connects directly to the Audi’s factory multimedia system via LVDS (video input). It acts as an invisible bridge between your smartphone and your car.
Key features:
-
🖥️ Uses the original Audi screen—no replacement necessary
-
🎮 Controlled with factory MMI knob & steering buttons
-
🔀 Wired & wireless support for both Apple & Android
-
🧠 Switches automatically between Audi MMI and CarPlay
-
🎥 Retains OEM reverse camera, sensors, and radio
This means a complete upgrade with no irreversible changes to the vehicle. It looks stock. Feels stock. But behaves like a 2024 system. 🤖📲
🛠️ The Installation Process at MC Audio
Our team handled every step with the care and precision Audi owners expect:
-
✅ Dashboard and trim carefully removed—no clips broken
-
✅ All connections done with OEM-style harnesses—no wire cutting
-
✅ MMI screen tested, firmware updated, and new source activated

🎵 Features You’ll Love (From Day One)

-

-
Stream music via Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music

All while keeping the Audi’s premium look intact.

-
The factory reverse camera still activates automatically
-
Parking sensors display remains intact
-
Audi Drive Select and other system menus still accessible

FM/AM radio and vehicle diagnostics still functional
