This is the easiest CarPlay/Android Auto kit to use and install. No tedious pressing buttons to get the image full screen and switch the touch over manually, only to have to do it again once you go in and out of reverse like you need to with other kits on the market!

The install consists of removing the lower glovebox trim to access the DOC connector and removing the two side trims on the centre console, plugging in the video connector and enabling EDI on the IQ system. It's extremely easy to do.

Enter CarPlay by simply pressing the “Phone” button on the steering wheel or holding the “Config” button on the IQ. The kit is quick to boot up, and is actually much faster than the Factory Navigation!

The kit is designed for easy install, with all OEM connectors and full, easy to read instructions. All done with basic hand tools.

Factory EDI, DVD, RSE, functions all retained.

The kit includes a USB adapter to make the factory console IQ USB socket the wired input to CP/AA (Series 2 only). Meaning, actual charging of our power thirsty devices. This is great for long trips.

Wireless Audio! Simply connect your phone to the IQ systems Bluetooth and to CP/AA wirelessly or wired. This means you still use the factory IQ system’s microphone and speakers to make phone calls, and do not need to install this kits microphone. (Though one is supplied in each kit). Bluetooth audio direct from phone to the IQ system is the optimal solution, and is the best audio quality possible to the IQ. This means any audio input can be selected when in CP/AA mode. CD, Radio, Rear AUX, Bluetooth as well as DVD/RSE at any time.

There is no change to Phone call quality or ease of use. Phone calls are as they were without the CP/AA kit installed. Phone calls are answered and disconnected via pressing the right scroll steering wheel button.

If your car is fitted with EDI, you can switch between CP/AA and EDI by pressing the "Left Scroll” button twice in quick succession. You MUST purchase the EDI version otherwise EDI won't show on the screen

This kit requires that the EDI input on the IQ system be enabled. We offer programming in Melbourne. We also offer install in Melbourne. both an additional cost.

CARS WITH EDI ALREADY ENABLED DO NOT NEED TO BE PROGRAMMED.

Programming can be done via OBDsync. Programming is not included in the price. We highly recommend this product for your daily use. You can program any module in your car with ease, and use as a diagnostic device. Updates will include customisations and tuning. Big bonus is the anti thief protection, It’s advised to unlock RSE and VIM. You can also choose to change the colour to Blue or Red or add factory reverse camera. OBDsync can be purchased from www.obdsync.com

Or you can go to many shops these days to get the programming done.

Vehicles with retrofitted IQ systems: if have the factory Series 2 Microphone (Highly Recommended) you can make calls via Bluetooth to the IQ system. If you cannot currently make calls via Bluetooth to the IQ you will need to install the supplied microphone. You will then use the "Rear AUX" input on the IQ to hear audio from your phone and make calls..

Factory DVD cars still need to remove IQ facia ATM. We are woking on making the install easier.

Options: Select “Factory Series 2” if your car is a factory series 2. Select “Series 1 Retrofitted” if your car is a Series 1 with an IQ system. Select “HSV EDI Installed” if you have EDI installed (or in the future want to install HSV’s EDI) regardless of series.
