The Screen Is.\u003c\/strong\u003e A 2017 Audi A4 B9 is a good car with a bad interface. The chassis, the drivetrain and the interior materials all still hold up, and then you reach for a head unit that predates wireless CarPlay and cannot run a mapping app without a cable. Replacing the car to get a better screen is the most expensive way to solve a software problem. Replacing the screen is the cheapest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unit is a non-destructive retrofit for the B9 platform. It keeps the factory radio, the factory steering wheel controls and the factory Can-Bus behaviour, and adds a 1920 x 720 touchscreen over the top with wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto. Navigation, music, calls and messaging run from your phone onto a display that is actually readable at a glance, and because the connection is wireless there is no cable to route across the console every journey. The screen is available at 10.25 inches and 12.3 inches, with storage and memory configurations from 4GB and 32GB up to 8GB and 128GB, which is the difference between a unit that runs one app at a time and one that does not need to choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware is built around an eight-core MTK8581 processor with 4 x 50W audio output, Bluetooth, 4G and WiFi networking, a TF card slot for local media and support for reversing camera input. The interface is plug and play, which in practice means the original looms and connectors are reused rather than cut. Output languages cover the full European list including English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Polish and Dutch. STWEI has been building head units for over a decade and supplies a one-year warranty on this model, which is CE and RoHS certified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn old car with a new screen drives like a newer car.

The owner who has decided the car is worth another three years is the exact buyer, because the retrofit preserves everything that still works and replaces only the part that has aged badly. It also suits fleet and company cars where the factory radio must remain functional and the installation has to be reversible, since the original connectors are reused rather than modified. Owners who drive long distances benefit most from the wireless CarPlay connection and the larger 12.3-inch screen, while a shorter urban commute is well served by the 10.25-inch panel with the standard memory configuration. Because the screen is a touch display, the cabin gains controls the original rotary interface never offered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003chr style=\"margin: 20px 0; border: 0; border-top: 1px solid #eee;\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will this fit my specific Audi?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is built for the A4, A5 and S5 on the B9 platform, which is the 2017 model year generation.
