Please check out my installation of an android headunit in my 2014 Q5. I paid retail for this, so this post is to share my experience. Integrates very well with the Q5.
Wiring harness is plug and play. Notice new bezel around 8.8" screen included in kit. Out of box typical android main screen. Uses cellular SIM card or personal wifi hotspot. Look after installing Car Launcher AG app. Notice the main apps I configured:
- MMI app to return to Audi OEM screens
- Android Auto app
- 1Weather app
- Waze navigation
- Google search app
- Apps - Car Launcher AG will show all installed apps
Pressing MMI app or long press of MMI Menu button gives MMI menu. Putting car in reverse will automatically give original OEM backup screen with guide lines (if so equipped. Option to install aftermarket camera too.).
Android Auto app main screen. Android Auto app displaying Google Maps in driving mode.
If you would like to read more about the specifications of the product, please look at the RSNAV website. They have four difference displays available, but I went for the 8.8" widescreen that fits within the dash.
Nice looking headunit there. I have been trying to look for iOS friendly HU. I found this one New product Unichip Carplay For Audi Q5 The sales told me it is compatible with my MMI . Do you think this is legit? Here's the video
Hey there - did you ever get this resolved? We're seriously considering this but love our side assist dearly. It's a pretty good looking install! Just having trouble deciding between the 10.25 screen and this one...

RSNAV just released new firmware. Haven't had chance to test yet. Will get back to you soon.
