Activating AUX input on Audi MMI 3G

and MMI MIB1
3–4 minutes

When you are retrofitting our CarPlay and Android Auto kits to
your Audi, you may want to activate the AUX pin on the head
unit on certain cars (Normally the cars equipped with the Audi
AMI media interface).

Note: If you do have the Audi AMI interface you can alternatively
use an AMI-AUX adapter instead of activating AUX. This will
work well but will require you to run a cable to the AMI input
from our IMI-1000 wiring harness. While this will work fine, it is
not “hidden” and some customers prefer a completely hidden
installation.

An AMI to AUX adapter can be used instead of activating AUX

on the Audi head unit

This is because our retrofit CarPlay and Android Auto Kits

connect directly to the AUX pin on the MMI head unit via our
plug and play wiring loom, so activating of the pin is an elegant
solution and completely hidden.

This tutorial will show you the steps required to activate the AUX
pin on the rear of the head unit, you will also see “AUX” as an
option in the media menu on the central display once you have
performed the activation process.

1. Install VCDS

To perform the activation you will need VCDS, this is available

from Ross Tech.

2. Connect to OBD port

value if something goes wrong.
