Hi all, Hoping someone's had this before. I've got a 2013 A6 Avant Black Edition (C7 pre-facelift) with RMC Nav Plus, software RMC_EU_P12321, and the Bose sound system. I've fitted a 12.5" aftermarket CarPlay screen using the RMC harness ("11-18 A6 RMC") and followed the manual exactly. I've refitted it twice and checked every plug and pin. What's happening: The CarPlay side works fine. When I switch to the Audi screen, the logo loads, the MMI menu shows for a split second, then it cuts out as if it's gone to sleep. The MMI control panel by the gear stick no longer lights up at all. The scroll wheel works briefly, but there's no volume or other MMI functions. Every other button in the car lights up as normal. The airbag light has come on since the install. What I've tried: Resolution set to MMI 3G 400x240, which gives a full picture, with Force OEM Full Screen on. Put the original harness back in with everything else back to factory, and still no controller lights. They came on for a second, then went off again. Reseated all plugs, checked the climate panel connection, and done full lock-up resets. What I'm wondering: Could this be a break in the MOST fibre optic ring, or a fibre plug not seated properly at the back of the head unit? Could the battery have gone low during the install? Or does something need coding? Any ideas appreciated. I'm in South Wales if anyone local knows a good installer. Cheers, Kole

Used to have an A3 2.0 tfsi (haldex quattro) back when I used to post here, which was changed to a 330D xDrive 10yrs ago. Great car but coming up to 11yo and major servicing in the next 10k miles. That, plus the orange loon keeps causing havoc in the world so what used to be a £70 diesel fill up has morphed into a £105 one 😮. Also, wasn't very practical (rear seats didn't fold) and needed more space with a young family. Have therefore decided to go all-in for a full BEV and am a proud owner of a brand new Q6 Quattro. Still getting used to the increased width for manoeuvring and instant torque when driving but currently am a very happy bunny. ......so I'll be posting again as I get to grips with it 😁

Delivered this morning and fitted... working a treat. Not much of a choice really though, Audi UK and Germany have nothing in stock and couldn't give me any idea when they would be. Plus I got two for a 3rd of the price of one! No brainer
