I recently purchased a 2010 Audi A5 without the Audi MMI. The car came equipped with the Audi Concert Radio and a Sirius Satellite receiver and shark-tooth satellite antenna. I’ve learned that I can use the screen/display to view a video input, if I install a Navigation-Interface module such as the AUDI A5/S5 2010-2011 NAVIGATION VIDEO INTERFACE from Navtool (http://www.navtool.com/audia53.aspx)

What I really would like to do is add GPS Navigation functionality. I do not want to purchase a hand-held GPS Unit and suction-cup it to the dashboard. I'm trying to find out if there is a reasonable-priced way to add the GPS Nav functionality, as if i came from the factory.

I’m aware that I can purchase a navigation module, such as the Farenheit USA Plug-N-Play Add-on GPS Navigation Module, NAVIBOX-1, http://www.farenheitusa.com/addons.html Unfortunately, I’m assuming that one needs touch-screen input capability to use the Farenheit add-on GPS Navigation module however, the screen in my 2010 Audi A5 is not capable of touch-screen input. In addition, the display screen in my A5 is an integral part of the vehicle’s audio/climate control, telephone/Bluetooth systems, as well as other vehicle controls.

How can I integrate GPS Navigation functionality into the A/V system of my 2010 Audi A5 without effecting how the display screen is used to control key vehicle and A/V functions?

 

HI,
I believe that what you want to do is possible - I have added an aftermarket GPS nav box to my Q5, and all of the components of the A5's "infotainment" system are identical (as are recent A4s), including the screen and wiring.
The system that I have used needed a little customising, but essentially it provides the OEM LCD screen with touch-screen functionality, and inserts the GPS display into the signal line that feeds to the screen when you select it. It also has inputs for a DVD player, and a reversing camera...
I have PM'ed the OP with more details, if anyone wants to know more then feel free to drop me a PM.

cheers,
..Neil

 

PM sent. Thanks for your help
