Why Upgrade Your Audi A1 MMI

Bring your Audi A1 up to modern standards with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto while keeping the OEM look and functionality. Navigate, stream, message, and call through Siri or Google Assistant — all within your factory MMI system.

Sound routing made simple: CarPlay and Android Auto audio run through your factory Bluetooth channel for OEM sound quality. If Bluetooth connection is unstable, switch to the AUX or AMI input. Screen mirroring always uses AUX/AMI for audio. Switching between the original MMI and CarPlay/Android Auto is done via the MENU toggle switch, which directly acts as the OEM MENU button.

• Wireless & Wired Android Auto
• Navigation: Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze
• Music: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Deezer

Audio & System Requirements

• Default Sound Path: CarPlay/Android Auto audio uses the OEM Bluetooth channel for clear sound and full OEM integration.
• Optional AUX/AMI Path: If Bluetooth is unavailable or unstable, audio can be routed through the AUX or AMI input. (Some A1 models may require an AMI-to-AUX adapter cable.)
• Screen Mirroring Sound: Always uses AUX/AMI for audio.
• Mode Switching: Use the MENU toggle switch (supplied) — this acts as your OEM MENU button to switch between MMI and CarPlay/Android Auto screens.
• Fully plug-and-play installation — no coding or dealership activation needed.
