Same question!!
I’d hoped one of the wireless dongles would have worked but as you say it’s harder with the older MMI. I bought them fro AliExpress for £208 and customs was £22 ish. Links below

CarPlay Box

£171.70 41% Off | A U D I A3 CarPlay Wireless Module WIFI Bluetooth Black Box Car Radio Retrofit Activate Device Android Auto Mirror

Reverse Camera


£19.21 26% Off | High Resolution Car Trunk Rear View parking camera back up reversing CAM for A3 A4 A5 A6 S5 Q3 Q5 Q7

You need an Aux cable plugged into your AMI port to trick the box into using Aux for sound. If you don’t have AMI and have Aux then you’re good.
I bought a box of the heat shrink / solder sleeves which are handy for joining wires if you don’t fancy soldering. They’re actually dead handy. A roll of Tesa (cloth) tape is handy too.
Happy to help out with any questions/advice needed BTW 👍🏻 It’s not actually difficult, just a bit awkward and takes a while if you’re being fussy. I now know what to watch out for. I spent too much time trying to get the wire from the car into the hatch and trying to remove the boot handle.

That's maybe something to consider for after spacers and intake.

For now, I've read through the guide on updating the firmware/maps and I'm happy enough. Ordered an SD card there so will give it a go at the weekend. Will let you all know if it goes well and my address is on the maps, or I have a bricked S4 at the end of it.
