Multimedia hardware for compatible Audi Q5 systems

The products below add audio or smartphone functions to selected factory MMI systems. They are hardware interfaces, not firmware files or map updates, and each requires the correct MMI platform and vehicle connections.

Bluetooth and AUX for MMI 3G

Adds Bluetooth music streaming and an AUX input to compatible Audi Q5 vehicles with MMI 3G Basic or MMI 3G High. Audio is controlled through the original MMI system.

The interface connects to the vehicle’s MOST fibre-optic network and power supply. It operates as an additional CD changer, so an existing changer may need to be disconnected.
