CursorPad is an app for your MMI that turns the factory touchpad on your control knob into a trackpad for CarPlay. Point, tap, scroll and pinch to zoom, in a car with no touchscreen.
The problem
Same task, same car. Opening one app from the far side of the home screen.
With the knob
Scroll through every single icon, one by one, just to get there.
With CursorPad
Point at it. Tap. You're in.
What it does
Rest a finger on the touchpad and a cursor shows up on screen. Glide to move it, tap to click. Any app, any button, anywhere in CarPlay.
A banner pops up? Just point and tap. No more watching it disappear while you fight the knob.
Scroll your music, swipe between home screen pages and fly through long lists, the same way you would on a laptop.
Move the map around with two fingers and pinch to zoom in and out. In a car with no touchscreen.
Pinch works in apps that support it in CarPlay, like Apple Maps.
The cursor is pulled toward your dock icons, so you're not hunting for them.
Start driving and the cursor grows, so it's easier to see at a glance.
Lift your finger and the cursor fades out after a moment. Nothing left on screen.
No hardware
The top of your MMI knob is a touchpad. It's been there since the car left the factory, and almost nobody uses it. CursorPad puts it to work.
Compatibility
CursorPad works on these models when they have MMI Navigation plus with MMI touch: the 8.3-inch screen and the control knob with a touchpad on top.
US and Canada go by model year. Europe goes by the year the car was built. These generations reached the US about a year later.
Not compatible: the facelift models that followed, which have a factory touchscreen and no knob, and cars with the smaller 7-inch screen, where the knob has no touchpad.
And if it turns out CursorPad doesn't work in your car, you get a full refund.

FAQ
No. CursorPad is an app that installs on your Audi's MMI system. There's no dongle, no box and no extra screen. It uses the touchpad that's already on your control knob.
Yes, exactly like stock. Turn the knob, press it, use every button the way you always have. CursorPad adds a cursor. It doesn't take anything away.
The cursor works everywhere in CarPlay: the home screen, every app and notifications. Pinch to zoom depends on the app. Apple Maps supports it. Some apps, like Waze, don't support pinch in CarPlay, so you use their on-screen zoom buttons with the cursor instead.
After checkout you get an email with a download and a step-by-step guide. Copy the file to an SD card, put it in your Audi's SD slot and follow the guide. It takes about 15 minutes, and install support is included if you need a hand.
Yes. You can remove CursorPad any time and your MMI goes back to the way it left the factory.

CursorPad is designed to make CarPlay quicker to use, and the cursor gets bigger once you're moving so it's easier to see. As with any in-car system, keep your attention on the road and follow local laws.
