What You Get

Many Audi A7 C8 Sportback vehicles with MHI2P MMI were delivered without Android Auto enabled, even though the infotainment system is capable of supporting it. This leaves Android users limited to the standard MMI environment instead of using Google Maps, Spotify, calls, messages and other supported apps directly through the factory screen. This activation enables Android Auto in the original MMI using RetroLab Pro. The process is completed automatically through the app and does not require patching, software flashing, or unofficial modifications. Android Auto works as a wired connection only on these supported vehicles — this product does not include wireless Android Auto functionality.

How It Changes Behavior

From factoryon a stock A7 C8 Sportback with MHI2P delivered without Android Auto, the MMI shows no Android Auto tile in the connectivity menu and an Android phone plugged in via USB only acts as a media source — Google Maps, Spotify and messages stay on the phone screen.

After activationAndroid Auto appears natively in the MMI connectivity menu when an Android phone is connected by USB — Google Maps, Spotify, Messages, Phone and other Android Auto apps render directly on the MMI with full factory controls.
