Don't think this is something that can be sorted out with OBDII.

I don't use CarPlay but Android Auto definitely shows the AA logo in the tabs when it's active.

Do you have the Smartphone Interface in the main menu?

Not sure who or how this was activated but it looks like you'll need to take it back to them to sort out.

 

no, I don't have Smartphone Interface in the main menu

Are you able to dump the settings from the 5F controller?
I would like to compare settings

what is your year TT ?

I'm desperate I'm looking for any solution...

 

This won't help the OP but I thought CarPlay was only available from MY17 onwards? Maybe some functions will work on earlier cars (as seen here) but it's not fully functional.

2018

Sorry don't have the kit to dump settings from the controller.

If the Smartphone Interface is missing from the main menu something is very wrong.

 

Who have upload the 1339 version in your TT? Audi or an external office? I have a 2015 TT and all have told me the carplay Is impossibile to install!! At this point all TT can have carplay, Is only a problem of software....

 

I have a 2015 and updated (letterless) VC firmware to 295 and have CarPlay and ASI in VC, can be done

 

the software uploaded to me an external service.

I'm thinking about swapping USB ports.
My ports are 8S0035736. I found here, on this forum, that they should be 8S0035736A

CODE: SELECT ALL
8S0035724 connection for external audio sources, D - 30.05.2016>> ER5 UE7
8S0035724A connection for external audio sources, D - 30.05.2016>> ER5 UE7 UI2
8S0035736 connection for external audio sources, D - 30.05.2016>> UE7
8S0035736A connection for external audio sources, D - 30.05.2016>> UE7 UI2

ER5 Japan specific radio
UE7 Electric interface for external use AUX-IN USB and iPod
UI2 smartphone

however, there is a problem

USB module 8S0035736 is 6PIN and module 8S0035736A is 8PIN

Do you have any idea how to connect this?

Is anyone who has working CARPLAY/AA with USB ports 8S0035736?
The easiest way to recognize which version you have is the smartphone icon on usb ports (see the pictures)

Which version do you have ?

thanks for the answers

 

maybe someone has a pinout 8S0035736 and 8S0035736A ?

 

I have the same issue. CarPlay works, but not visible in the main spin menu.
qenq, PM me. I may have the pinouts. Let's figure this out...

 

Just to go back a step, who was this "workshop" that uploaded the software?
I believe that the ASI is available as a retrofit on mk3 cars (at least from third parties), but it is quite expensive. I thought that their engineer came out to you (or you posted your MIB unit to them) so there seemed to be more to it than just a simple s/w upgrade? Firmware upgrade too, or complex activation process? Note that the ASI has always been an optional (factory fitted) extra on the TT.

 

CarPlay or AA was not available until a certain software version. It just didn't exist in the software. I think it was the beginning of MY17, maybe 18 that it became available. To activate the Smartphone Interface, a FEC code is loaded onto the Unit and the coding must be adapted in 005F. The issue here (I suspect) is that the 005F also needs to recognize the USB interface as being compatible--and I suspect that it's not.

 

The most important thing seems to be the USB connection then?
Does anyone know where the two extra wires are connected?

 

To get Audi Smartphone to show up on menu in dashboard, you need to upgrade your unit 17 firmware to at least Version 290 ( MY 2017j. There is no need to change the USB port.

This morning I've visited the dealer for the recall. And asked them what it would cost me to install smartphone interface.
They told me it isn't possible with cars build before august 2015. Mine is from march unfortunately

 

After a few weeks of searching, I think it is necessary to update the software in the unit 17
My Unit 17 has a part number: 8S0920790 with sw. wer.211 and Hw wer. H32
I bought the VC upgrade to version 296 (SD CARD see the pictures), but I can't upload it
After entering the engineering menu, the update is detected correctly but cannot be started
see the pictures - there is N/A and you can't start
How to force this update to start ?

Erty,
thanks for the link
That explains the case
Looks like I have too old Unit 17 (8S0920790)
I need 8S0920790A, 8S0920790B or never :-(
Replacing dashboard is already a difficult matter...

Do you get any 3 digits error code?

 

No, I didn't get it. I can't start with this update.
The car sees this update, but with every update option is N/A
Option START UPDATE is gray

May be you should try lower version than 296.

290 also have Audi Smartphone function normally.

Cheers

It means the update is not applicable to his device. The firmware updates check the hardware revision and won't apply if it's not right. A lower version of the same update will also not apply.

 

Correct, as above it means it can't be applied to this car.

 

Thanks Mokorx for the 0017 flashing tip. Im running 290 now, and CarPlay is working. The software contains some new small details, like displaying the Drive Select mode, which is nice.

The only option that will be flashed with your 296 update is the FPK.

As someone stated above, you need to flash a few intermediate SW versions in order to get up to 296. My 0017 came from the factory with version 221 software and unfortunately you cant skip right to 296.

 

Are people willing to share the firmware upgrade 290 and 296 so I can test it on my 2015 cluster?
