Hi friends. My a3 2013 8v has factory AMI which I never use. In the media source menu ami is one in the list. But EXTERNAL PLAYER INPUT is not there. I believe AMI replace that aux input as factory program. I've seen that EXTERNAL PLAYER INPUT in other cars that does not have AMI on you tube videos. Is there any way to change with obdeleven to see that EXTERNAL PLAYER INPUT? I am not looking for physical aux connection. Just need to see in the list and need to select it. I am retrofitting carplay kit.it works everything but no sound. Instruction says need to select that EXTERNAL PLAYER INPUT.
Thanks

than : Hi. Not sure how familiar you are with coding and my apology if you already know this stuff - but the unit that holds the "smarts" for your infotainment system is called a MMI and the settings that determine what peripheral equipment that the MMI will operate are set by a bunch of software switches that reside in the module's long-code string.
The MMI lives @ address hex5F on the car's CAN network. The particular software switches that relate to AMI and AUX facilities are in Byte 8.
On Byte 8, the following happens: - Bit 4 = AUX_in
- Bit 5 = AMI
So, based entirely on your words, I assume that for Byte 8, Bit 5 is ticked and Bit 4 is not-ticked on the hex5F module on your car. Try un-ticking Bit 5 as a starting suggestion. If this doesn't work, maybe add to the tweak by also placing a tick on Bit 4
Note: making these changes will disable the AMI function. I'm not sure if placing a tick in both Bit 4 and Bit 5 will be acceptable on your hex5F module - maybe try?
