The CHEAPEST DIY Apple CarPlay Install! | AUDI TTS MK2 Retrofit

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In today's video, we are going to be trying a DIY instal of the cheapest but effective Apple CarPlay retrofit unit I could find for my Audi TTS Mk2. We will be ripping out the outdated unit, providing a detailed step by step install and then a review of the product at the end!
Following on from the great start we had to 2024, we have now completed our first highly anticipated modification to the Audi TTS. I said in my previous videos how I wanted to complete more DIY modifications to the car and this was definitely the most needed as I can finally change songs! Please let me know down in the comments below what you thought of the upgrade, do you like the look of it? Do you think its worth the money? Please also let me know if you would like to see similar content to this in the future.

    I was the exact same with the camera although I was installing a different head unit onto a different car but the red wire on the camera goes to the other red wire on the longer bit then that goes up behind the head unit and connects up then the black wire then goes to reverse light wires and put the camera somewhere on the back bumper hope that helps out with it

    Nice fit mate, I added the same one to my Audi and found that the bass when playing music is non existent! I wasn’t sure if it’s because it’s a cheap unit or if I messed up the installation? How did you find it on yours?

    The audio quality is a little less, the bass is there but I did find one of the audio connectors was lose which made the bass disappear. I wrapped in electrical tape to fix the issue. If you want more base, there is a connector for a sub on mine which could be installed

    If you plug the sun wire to one of the red ones it turns the built in subs on so it doesn’t support all speakers , unfortunately on my car it only plays the rear speakers

    Yes, the steering buttons all work. If you switch the lights on/off the lights on the side goes on and off... But when you remove the key, the radio remains on. It does seem that if you power it off and it remains off for some time and is turned on again, it does start up as if it was completely off (Starting Android...)

  • @mightymulatto3000
    @mightymulatto30004 ай бұрын

    It will pop out due to heat compromising the plastic clips, road vibration and the possible lack of modification. The bottom clips aren't really meant hold but to "sit" on a flat surface that you have to shave away to get access to while the top clips are meant to hold the radio from moving forward. It's all around a poor design as you said.

    I’ll have a play around with them again, but confused as from behind the car radio I have white and red cables coming out, and not sure whether I connect it to them , or connect just cables that are attached to the car play radio that are attached to the car play screen if that makes sense
