How We Integrated Wireless Apple CarPlay Into a Lamborghini Huracán (2014-2018) — Factory Cluster Integration Done Right

Transforming a Lamborghini Huracán with Wireless Apple CarPlay Integration — The Ultimate Factory Upgrade
Last week, we had a special guest roll into our workshop — a stunning Lamborghini Huracán 2016 model, finished in bright Arancio Borealis. The owner, like many supercar enthusiasts, loved the driving experience but was frustrated by the lack of modern smartphone integration in the factory system. No Apple CarPlay. No Android Auto. In a car of this calibre, that simply isn’t good enough anymore.
We took on the challenge: fully integrate wireless Apple CarPlay into the factory instrument cluster of the Lamborghini Huracán — no aftermarket screens or unsightly modifications. We would achieve a true OEM-style CarPlay integration, making it feel like the vehicle rolled off the factory floor with this feature.
The Problem with Factory Lamborghini Infotainment (2014-2018 Models)
Lamborghini models from 2014 to 2018 — including the Huracán LP610-4, LP580-2, and Performante — were not equipped with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto as standard. Their factory MMI-based infotainment system, while functional for its time, lacks modern smartphone integration that drivers expect today.
Adding wireless Apple CarPlay to a Lamborghini Huracán isn’t as simple as adding a universal adapter. These vehicles use highly specialized communication systems, digital clusters, and proprietary wiring that require custom-engineered integration solutions to maintain full compatibility with the factory features.
Custom Integration: OEM-Level CarPlay for Lamborghini
We used a bespoke CarPlay interface module specifically designed for Lamborghini models. This kit is engineered to work seamlessly with the existing factory controls, cluster, and rotary knobs — preserving the OEM feel while adding full Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality.
Key Features of Our Lamborghini CarPlay Integration:
-
✅ Full factory integration into OEM cluster display
-
✅ Wireless Apple CarPlay support
-
✅ Wireless Android Auto support
-
✅ Factory controls (knobs, buttons, steering wheel) fully functional
-
✅ Factory reverse camera and sensors retained
-
✅ No cutting or permanent modifications
-
✅ Professional installation and coding
Our installation process is completely reversible and maintains the integrity of the Lamborghini electrical system, avoiding any diagnostic or CANBUS issues down the track.
The Installation Process
With any supercar, precision is everything. After carefully removing the trim panels, cluster, and MMI unit, we accessed the factory harnesses and installed the custom interface module. This module communicates directly with the Lamborghini’s internal systems, allowing us to inject Apple CarPlay data directly into the factory cluster screen.
Wireless CarPlay Performance:
Once installed, the owner can now enjoy wireless Apple CarPlay without ever plugging in his phone. Navigation apps like Apple Maps, Waze, and Google Maps display clearly on the factory screen. Siri, Spotify, phone calls, and messages all work seamlessly through the factory Lamborghini controls.
This level of integration preserves the high-end feel Lamborghini owners demand — no aftermarket screens or loose-fitting adaptors. The factory reverse camera and parking sensors remain fully operational, and system stability is unaffected.
