Audi Q5 2018-2020 - Premium Head Unit Upgrade Kit: Radio Infotainment System with Wired & Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto 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.

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.

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, and 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, and the operating system version plus 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, and they consistently tell us the difference in quality and performance is worth the investment. When you buy from us, you can chat with a real person via the contact page whenever you need help. No ghosting, no dead ends.

Most customers successfully install these units themselves in their driveway, so a workshop isn’t required. Every harness plug is keyed differently. Think of the childhood puzzle where the square block only fits the square opening, so each connector mates with just one socket and you can’t cross-wire anything.

If you enjoy working on your vehicle and have a couple of hours available, you can definitely handle this install. Prefer to outsource? Any car audio installer can knock it over quickly. If you hit a snag mid-install, tap the support button or send a quick photo via the contact page and we’ll outline the next step.
