Audi A6 C8 – Android Auto

Audi A6 C8 Android Auto Activation (RetroLab Pro)

Many Audi A6 C8 vehicles with MHI2P MMI were delivered without Android Auto enabled, even though the infotainment system is capable of supporting it. This leaves Android users limited to the standard MMI environment instead of using Google Maps, Spotify, calls, messages, and other supported apps directly through the factory screen.

This activation enables Android Auto in the original MMI using RetroLab Pro. The process is completed through a guided 2-step activation in the app and does not require patching, software flashing, or unofficial modifications.

Android Auto works as a wired connection only on these supported vehicles. This product does not include wireless Android Auto functionality.
