Audi / SQ5 / 2018 (B9)

Post by abfricks »

I am interested in becoming a Sidecar beta tester for this make/model/year.

My tester profile:

iOS Version: 18.2.1 (Prod, but Dev betas available/used)
Apple Watch Available: Yes
watchOS Version (if you have a watch): 11.2 (Ultra 1st gen)
Internet connected vehicle: Yes-ish (2018 MY used a 3G radio for some vehicle telematics, so things like unlocking the vehicle remotely, no longer work with the depreciation of 3G. However, other portions use a 4G LTE radio and still connect. This changed in 2019, and all telematics used 4G after the 2018 MY.)
OBD Device Available: Yes
OBD Device model: Ross Tech VCDS/“VAG-Com” (Wired), an assortment of Generic Bluetooth OBD2 dongles.
Testing Availability: Daily/Weekly
Time zone: EST
Additional Notes: Factory Audi MMI2Q (Harmon) system remains fully intact, but an upgraded RS-Nav (Android-based system) replaced the smaller factory screen, adding a larger screen with touchscreen functionality to the existing system. Both the factory system and the Android-based system support CarPlay (Wired/Wireless), and all factory controls operate normally (Audi click wheel, touch pad, steering wheel controls, etc.) The B9.5 facelift 2021/2022+ has the upgraded Audi MMI3 system, that includes the larger touchscreen (but factory) that the RS-Nav Android system adds to the original B9 MMI2 system. The Android system has its own dual SIM 4G cell radios, its own WiFi, its own Bluetooth, and its own GPS, but are not widely used (other than for Wireless CarPlay functionality), and all factory MMI 4G radio, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS are intact, fully functional, and used primarily to interact with the system (e.g. iPhone is paired to car’s factory Bluetooth in addition to CarPlay, phone calls/texts/Siri functions normally, etc.). The Android system also has access to the car’s CAN and OBD (can display things like speed, tach, doors open, oil, etc.)
