I chose DHL shipping. Should be here within 7 days.
I asked few more questions and it actually uses aftermarket microphone, not the MMI. Good thing is that it uses MMI controls. It also supports reversing camera. Apparently, it can also do 360 view. Have not seen it though anywhere.
Here is the installation video:

I’m hopeful for CarPlay kit since it elevates existing MMI functionality instead of replacing it. Hopefully I will not regret it.

However, it is still not clear to me what/how it does re audio output (they just mention the Aux) as I'm not sure if it needs the separate amplifier (as you would have with the MMI high/3g).

Re: CarPlay for MMI 3G 4G RMC
I fitted one of the UK kits to my a6 before Xmas and I'm over moon with it. Took about 1 Hour to fit and works very well with std controls. Even voice button on steering wheel work. As for sound quality, I have been disappointed with my bose system since I got car 2 years ago but now it much better using spotify and car play. Waze works great. Only down side is you get no track info on sash but then again my wife's gti is same. Lack of touch screen is not a problem. Some people complain about £300 cost but I think it's worth every penny.
Re: CarPlay for MMI 3G 4G RMC
The unit arrived few days ago but I only managed to get around it today. I found an issue though. I have an RMC with AMI and need to enable AUX input. I have enabled green menu on RMC but cannot see where will I enable AUX Does anyone know?
