How do I get my Audi CarPlay to work?
To get your Audi CarPlay to work, you will need to make sure that your Audi includes the necessary hardware and firmware updates for CarPlay functionality. If your Audi does support CarPlay, you’ll need to ensure that your iPhone is running iOS 7.1 or later and has a Lightning connector.
To enable CarPlay, connect your iPhone to your Audi using a Lightning-to-USB cable and select the CarPlay option on your vehicle’s infotainment system. Depending on your Audi model, you may need to activate CarPlay through the Audi MMI Connect app.

You may also want to check that your iPhone’s iOS is up-to-date and that your Audi has the latest software updates installed. If the issue persists, you may want to contact your Audi dealer or Apple Support for further assistance.
