Here we will see in pictures how to install Apple Carplay in an Audi A1.

Required material: a ratchet with a 8 mm bit and a Torx T20 screwdriver

Installation time: 40-50 minutes

Inventory: Carplay module and wiring.
So we count the module, a wifi antenna, 2 LVDS cables (video), the power cable, the sound cable, and a USB cable (you don't have to connect it if you use the device wireless).
