Playing with an Audi SQ5 TDI
Another 6 monthly oil change for the SQ5 this past weekend @ 72,000km, as well as another recent addition in the form of a 10.25" touchscreen with Apple Carplay sourced via The Fitting Bay.
Also had the slimline number plates restyled in the black and silver colouring which ive been meaning to do for ages - looks much better.
The infotainment in the SQ5 is really outdated as the B8/B8.5 platform was released in 2008/09 so most of the technology is from this era and its just slow and outdated. The new screen is much larger, brighter, and is also a touchscreen so more user friendly to operate. All of the factory functions still work on the new screen (reverse camera, radio, car settings etc) but the wireless Carplay really brings the interior up to date, not to mention having access to the latest Google maps.
The new screen is an Android based unit, so it has the capability to download apps off the Google Play store (YouTube/Netflix etc). I might try downloading the VAG DPF app so I can use the screen instead of my phone.
Installed the new screen and hardware myself in the garage - its about a 2 hour job.
