Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about this head unit

COMPATIBILITY

Yes! These Kanor units function as add-ons that enhance your existing system without replacement. If your Audi came with a factory screen (like many Audis), we're upgrading that screen with a higher-resolution display and more powerful processing. Think of it as adding a premium Android tablet to your dashboard. Our unit operates independently with its own processor and Android OS, while preserving all your factory functions – car settings, original Bluetooth, factory camera, and vehicle diagnostics all remain fully operational. You can seamlessly switch between the factory system and the new Android interface with a single touchscreen tap. The upgraded system opens up extensive possibilities: stream Spotify and YouTube, use advanced navigation apps like Google Maps and Waze, watch movies during breaks, and even connect gaming controllers via the USB ports for entertainment. It's a comprehensive upgrade that transforms your driving experience while maintaining everything you rely on from your factory system.

FEATURES

Yes! Your factory Bluetooth remains fully functional. For vehicles without a factory screen, this is a simple add-on installation – the necessary cables are already routed in your vehicle from the factory; you're simply connecting to them. Your original Bluetooth system continues operating exactly as before. The Kanor unit adds a second, independent Bluetooth system with its own antenna, giving you the flexibility to use either system or both simultaneously. All factory functions remain accessible and unchanged.

Yes! Both CarPlay and Android Auto are included and fully supported. They function reliably with excellent performance, available in both wired and wireless modes for maximum flexibility. Connect via WiFi for wireless convenience or use a cable for a stable wired connection – the choice is yours.

SUPPORT

The key differences lie in quality, performance, and support. Lower-priced units often use inferior hardware and cheap chipsets, resulting in slow performance, laggy Bluetooth, and frustrating user experience. Our units are backed by a 3-year warranty because we stand behind our quality – every unit undergoes rigorous inspection and testing before shipping. The chipset makes a huge difference: premium processors deliver smooth, responsive performance for Android Auto, CarPlay, and multitasking. You can choose your RAM and storage configuration to match your needs. The operating system version and pre-installed software also matter significantly. While budget options may save money initially, they often lead to disappointment and replacement costs within a year or two. We regularly hear from customers who switched to us after poor experiences with cheaper alternatives – they consistently tell us the difference in quality and performance is worth the investment. Perhaps most importantly, when you buy from us, you have a real support team available 7 days a week. No ghosting, no dead ends – just dedicated Brisbane-based support that ensures everything works perfectly.

INSTALLATION

Most customers successfully install these units themselves in their driveway – no workshop required. The installation is straightforward because every connector is unique and color-coded. Each plug has a specific match, making it impossible to connect cables incorrectly. If you enjoy working on your vehicle and have a couple of hours available, you can definitely handle this installation. However, if you're short on time or prefer professional installation, any car audio installer can complete the job quickly. Either way, our Brisbane-based support team is available 7 days a week to guide you through any questions that arise during installation.

1. Compatible with Audi A3 (8P) model years 2014‑2016 and Audi A3 Sportback (8U) model years 2016‑2020, covering all trim levels (Premium, Premium Plus, Prestige) and both left‑hand‑drive (LHD) and right‑hand‑drive (RHD) configurations.
2. Integrates with the factory MMI 2/2.5/3 infotainment platform, retaining steering‑wheel audio controls, climate‑control knobs, factory antenna input, and CAN‑bus communication for vehicle functions.
3. Powered by a quad‑core ARM Cortex‑A53 processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, equipped with 2 GB DDR3 RAM and 8 GB eMMC internal storage for the operating system and apps.
4. Outputs video at the factory‑specified 800 × 480 pixel resolution to the original LCD panel, preserving the native touchscreen responsiveness and color calibration.
5. Supports wired Apple CarPlay via a USB‑C connector and wireless CarPlay via an integrated 802.11ac Wi‑Fi module (up to 5 m range) with automatic reconnection.
6. Provides Android Auto both wired (USB‑C) and wireless (Wi‑Fi Direct) – compatible with Android 8.0 (Oreo) or newer devices.
7. Installation requires removal of the dashboard trim pieces (approximately 30 minutes) but no cutting of panels; the kit includes an OEM‑fit wiring harness, CAN‑bus adapter, and antenna splitter for a plug‑and‑play fit.
8. Retains factory FM/AM radio, DAB+, satellite radio, Bluetooth phonebook sync, steering‑wheel controls, backup‑camera input (if equipped), and parking‑sensor integration.
