I have a 2014 vw touareg lux. Will this mdi cable to usb work on a 2014 vw touareg. And charge an android phone once a usb cable is connected?

In my experience, it charges great, but the connection to play music/use the phone through the cable doesn't work well. Bluetooth connection is best in that case.

I have a 2011 Jetta Sportwagen... if your system works like mine then you will be able to play your smart phone media files via bluetooth... nothing will show on your infotainment screen, but the audio will play just fine...also, your phone will be charging in the process...I also have an android phone and it works just fine....

It works but it charges very slow. In my opinion is better to by a regular charger.

No it won't save your money. I have a 2014 GLI and I didn't realize that the input into the phone (I have a 6Plus was not through the normal connection. This unit has the connection go through the phone's headset port. So it won't charge the phone and allow you to control the audio through the steering wheel controls. And at less than $20 it wast worth going through any return processes or fees. I'm better off using the Bluetooth function of the audio system, at least you still have the steering wheel audio controls with that option

I have 2011 Audi A5 coupe 2.0T Quattro. Work? Yes and no. It works perfect only if you dont update the software. If you update the software actual (version 11.11.5), you will have problems with the USB library.

Hi Todd,You may want to try other diagnostic applications with this cable. In my case I used software from Ross-tech which is VW/Audi specific and it worked like a charm. I am guessing that the software you are using may not be detecting the cable correctly.

No, the cable is not able to connect your device to the car. I own a 2013 Q5

No. As far as I know (in my Hyundai it says that specifically) the USB port should not be used for charging, but only audio input.

It didn't work with my droid and 2009 Audi a4... Only thing my cable works with is a flash drive. My recommendation is to buy a different brand.

The connections are the same, and the cable does not have a source and/or destination designation. It should work fine, but have not tried it. Please do check to make sure that your driving device has a full-size DisplayPort connection, though, before ordering.

It works with android. Use the Torque app it is 5 dollars. I see no reason why it would not work with your audi. There is also a free torque app, but you get less info.

I had purchased this for my 2012 A4 but started using it in my 2014 A4 with the MMI and don't have any trouble. If you are using a USB and it's plugged into the cable when you get the error make sure it's formatted FAT 32 and not NTFS because the car can't read NTFS thumb drives. I had that problem when I first purchased the cable.

I have used this cable only in my 2011 E350 and it worked fine when I connected a USB flash drive with my music and I understand that it should work with a portable hard drive. It does not work when I tried connecting my phone or MP3 player, but I did not buy it thinking it would, I just wanted to use a flash drive.

I would assume so; the plug interface should be the same; just software and few hardware internally are different; I will tell you though; no one else had earned me ; your going to want to get some Velcro sticker to fasten it when your in motion in the car; the connection is rather weak and slips off or disconnects due to poor product to tablet alignment. I personally give it 3 out of 5 stars. It works; but not secure

Just tried it in my 2008 Q7 and the MMI interface is stuck on "initializing device" and even after pairing, does not transmit sound. Though the Mpow device does work on an IPOD dock stereo. Must be an Audi thing.

Back up camera input yes. Not sure what size din the VW has. But you'll likely need an adapter to mount it cleanly. Try searching for metro dual din install kit for that car. Aux, yes. But rarely gets used. Bluetooth and USB are superior in convenience. IPhone should be fine. Bluetooth is Bluetooth. I don't see why it wouldn't work The Bad..... This is not the unit that best fix your needs if you are looking for navigation. There is no GPS in this unit. You have to use your phone for GPS. I have a rooted Galaxy S5 and can mirror everything from my phone's screen on the xav... But it was NOT easy to get it modified to work. Modified firmware, rooted phone, etc. The cheap price is partially due to lack of navigation built in.... But as far as audio quality, there are few better deals for touch screen in dash units. I would call Crutchfield. They will recommend the perfect unit for your needs. Then search around for the best deal on whichever unit that is. Easiest way to get what you want for a good price on car audio/electronics. Take care -TMF

Assuming all 2015 VW and Audi using the same cable I doubt it. Just don't have a lot of faith in the quality of this cable. Prob worth the extra money to get the real one.

A lot of different things can factor in to why it's not working. Are you using it with an android device? Torque app works well for me. Also try powering the car off and on several times. It took me 10 or so tries on my friends Jetta, once it synced up it worked flawlessly. Also, wouldn't hurt to take it up to autozone and see if they can get a reading, that would rule out the obd2 port/fuse itself. Good luck!

Make sure the cable is fully inserted in the MMI, that's what happened to me. Also make sure your thumb drive doesnt have any type of security and that it contains valid mp3 files. Other than that you could have gotten a faulty cable. The cable works great on my 2013 Audi Q5 which I suspect should be de same audio system (not completely sure).
