LORDWORLD AMI MDI to 3.5mm & USB-C Adapter 2014

SKU CH-5B56-WBW9E

Connects phones and tablets via 3.5 mm audio and USB-C charging to VW and Audi 2014 models with 3G MMI and AMI interface

  • Plays phone audio through the car speakers via 3.5 mm aux
  • Charges a phone through the USB-C port while driving
  • Works only with factory 3G MMI systems in 2014 VW and Audi models
  • Requires the original AMI port already fitted in the vehicle
  • Single cable combines audio output and charging in one connection

Compatible Vehicles

This adapter connects to the AMI MDI port found in selected 2014 Volkswagen and Audi models including the A4, A6, Q5 and Q7. It is designed exclusively for vehicles equipped with the 3G MMI infotainment system and will not function with 2G, 3G+ or 4G units. Buyers whose cars lack the factory AMI interface or run a different MMI generation cannot use this cable.

Passive Operation

The device draws power only for the USB-C charging output and adds no active electronics to the audio path, so it introduces no audible noise or measurable thermal load. The 3.5 mm connection is a straight-through analogue link that requires no configuration or driver installation.

Dual-Function Cable

A single cable splits into a 3.5 mm stereo plug for audio output from a phone or tablet and a USB-C connector that supplies charge-only power to the same device. No data lines are wired through the USB-C port, so file transfer, Android Auto or CarPlay are not supported. Users who need simultaneous data and audio must seek a different interface solution.

Questions about this item

How do I install the LORDWORLD AMI MDI adapter in my 2014 VW or Audi with the 3G MMI system?

Plug the AMI MDI connector into the factory AMI port, then connect your phone via the 3.5 mm jack for audio and the USB-C plug for charging only; the adapter works only on vehicles equipped with the 3G MMI system, not 2G, 3G+ or 4G.

What maintenance or replacement will the LORDWORLD AMI MDI adapter need over time?

No scheduled maintenance is required; if the 3.5 mm plug or USB-C connector wears out from repeated insertion, replace the entire adapter cable.

What is the first limitation I will hit when using the USB-C port continuously on long drives?

The USB-C port supplies charging power only and carries no data, so it cannot support Android Auto, Apple CarPlay or file transfer while the 3.5 mm jack handles audio output.
