The 2018 AudiQ5 comes with Apple CarPlay as a standard feature that can be activated through the touch screen, steering controls, or voice commands. CarPlay allows you to safely use your iPhone while driving, enabling you to access directions, make calls, send messages, and listen to music through your car's display. Using CarPlay itself doesn't consume data, but activities like using Maps, Pandora, or streaming music will use data if you access the internet while connected.
The 2018 Audi Q5 comes equipped with apple carplay as standard straight off the factory line.
The 2018 Q5 model is not equipped with a touchscreen feature. Instead, it comes with the MMI control knob and touchpad. I find it puzzling that numerous websites incorrectly claim that the 2018 Q5 and SQ5 are equipped with a touchscreen, as they do not have this functionality.
The CarPlay feature in the 2018 Q5 is basic - it does not offer a touchscreen interface, instead using a knob for control, and it only supports wired connections for CarPlay, not wireless.
The 2018 Audi Q5 features its own built-in infotainment system called "Audi MMI." In this model, Audi MMI can be accessed through the touch screen, steering controls, and voice commands. Additionally, the system includes Audi Smartphone, which is equivalent to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Apple CarPlay is accessible on all trims of the Q5 series - Prestige (S Tronic and Manual), Premium (S Tronic and Manual), Premium Plus (S Tronic and Manual), A5 Cabriolet Prestige, Premium, and Premium Plus.
