Installing an Alpine CarPlay Head Unit into the 2004 Audi A6 2.7T S-Line

Описание: Vintage Audis a fun and for me, mostly straightforward to live with in terms to servicing etc. One area where they do lack is in the technology department and specifically with the lack of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

This isn't essential for people without significant device addictions, but to an 18 year old driver it's pretty important. Just forcing him to plug into the unit keeps his hands off his phone while driving AND helps charge his always depleted phone battery. A win win, right?

Let's add a subwoofer and amp to the mix just because that's what every 18 year old still wants... apparently. Some things don't change I guess.

Perhaps you've got a C5 Audi A6 and are curious about adding one yourself. It's doable, especially with one of the harness kits that allow you to plug right into the factory harness. I'm a fan of NOT butchering the stock audio system in the event you ever wanted to revert the car back to stock. For this reason, I've always left factory wiring intact even when "starting over" with an entirely new system.

Here is a list of everything used in this video aside from the 10" Subwoofer and enclosure box.
