My Android Headunit installed in my 2014 Q5
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.
Android Auto app displaying Amazon Music
8.8" Android HeadUnit (RSNAV)
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.
8.8" model: https://rsnav.com/products/8-8-inch-...=3016668545064
Complete product line: https://rsnav.com/
I will answer any questions about this vehicle enhancement.

Update on my install. Received new hazard switch (supplier shipped with old switch by mistake). Cleared airbag error and no more airbag warning light.
Still waiting for firmware update to resolve a CANBUS conflict that knocked out my lane change side assist system.
(Update: With assistance from RSNAV, the problem was a loose pin in a RSNAV harness connection. All is well now.)

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...
