Pro Star CarPlay USB CD Player

The Pro Star USB CD Player adds a single-disc drive to 2019-2026 Audi Q8 e-tron models that lack a factory CD player. It connects directly to the vehicle's USB port and integrates with Apple CarPlay so you can control playback through the factory radio or steering wheel controls. The unit draws power from the same USB connection and can be mounted vertically or horizontally on the centre console, in the glove box or wherever the cable reaches.

Replacing missing factory CD playback

This device restores the ability to listen to physical CDs in vehicles where the manufacturer omitted a built-in player. The upgrade is worthwhile for owners who keep a library of discs and want them accessible through the car's native infotainment interface without replacing the head unit. It does not add Bluetooth, navigation or smartphone mirroring beyond the CarPlay audio path already present in the vehicle.

Plug-and-play installation with indexing wait

Installation requires no tools or extra wiring; plug the cable into the USB port, follow the printed instructions and allow two minutes for the disc to finish indexing before use. Interrupting the indexing process means you must restart from step one with a different disc. The only common issue is skipping this wait, which causes set-up problems that a full re-initialisation resolves.
