BEFORE YOU ORDER

Common questions.

Ask another question

Does it work with both iPhone and Android?

Yes. CarPlay and Android Auto are included in the same installation on supported systems. CarPlay map zoom can be controlled with the steering-wheel scroll wheel; Android Auto does not support that zoom control.

Does the cockpit phone menu work with CarPlay?

Yes. With CarPlay connected, incoming calls appear in the Virtual Cockpit’s original phone menu, where you can answer or reject them using the car’s controls. A single press of the steering-wheel voice button activates Siri.

Will it work with my wireless adapter?

Some wireless CarPlay and Android Auto adapters do not work with RoadKernel.

Can I still use my centre screen?

On cars with a separate centre screen, yes. It remains available for media, another app or the original Audi menus while navigation is shown in the cockpit. TT and R8 use the cockpit display without a separate centre screen.

Do I need to change any hardware?

This is a software installation for compatible factory equipment. You need a compatible Virtual Cockpit and a supported MHI2Q or MHI2 system, plus an SD card for installation. Supported MHI2 configurations cover the A3 8V, Q2, TT, R8 and AUG22 systems listed above. Contact us to confirm your setup.

Can I return to the original setup?

A rollback package is included. Follow the instructions supplied with your package to restore the original setup.

What happens after payment?

You receive an activation code for your RoadKernel account. Your vehicle’s downloads, support chat and bug reports are available in the client portal.

Does it show directions on the head-up display?

Yes. CarPlay and Android Auto turn guidance is supported on compatible factory head-up displays. Your car must already be equipped with a HUD. Navigation remains available in the Virtual Cockpit.
