Hi all,

I just bought an Audi Q2 (2019) that has MHS2_ER_AU_P2035 MMI.
Currently there is no Apple Carplay/Android Auto option and I would like to include it. The USB hub is charge only.

As I read previously in this thread is that I should run the MHS2 activator by Congo to update the current maps and enable/unlock Apple Carplay and Android Auto functionality. When that is done I should replace the USB hub with an hub that has a smartphone interface.

Is this assumption correct?

I have a couple of more questions:
1) Can I skip the USB hub and install a carlinkit 4.0 for wireless use only? Or is it necessary to replace the usb hub?
2) What are the pros/cons of this solution versus a 'plain' carplay box that extends the basic functionality with a seperate mode to use Apple Carplay and Android Auto? The cost for a module like this is around 400 euros.

Thanks in advance.
