audio player: the mobile device is
not supported.
Read the instructions in the chapter > page 213, Multimedia
connections/> page 211, Bluetooth audio player.

Audi music interface: the mobile
device is not recognized as a
source.

ble when the battery level is too low (less than 5% charge level).
The mobile device will only be recognized as a media source in
the MMI after connecting if the battery charge level is sufficient.

Audi music interface: malfunc-
tions during audio playback
through an iPod/iPhone.
The Bluetooth audio player function is switched on. Switch this
function off > page 226 when you are not using the Bluetooth
audio player.

Audi music interface: audio play-
back through the connected mo-
bile device is not possible.
Make sure the USB mode MTP is selected in the settings on your
mobile device.

Bluetooth audio player: interfer-
ence with track display and audio
playback.
Playback interference can occur when using the Bluetooth audio
player if a music player app from a third party provider is open.
AUDI AG recommends using the integrated media player on your
Bluetooth device (such as a smartphone).

Online media: connection failed
between the MMI and the myAudi
app.
To establish a connection to the MMI, the MMI connection switch
must be switched on in the myAudi app status screen.

Online media: no playback of on-
line media.
Check if a suitable data plan has been purchased.

Wi-Fi hotspot: your Wi-Fi device is
disconnected from the Wi-Fi hot-
spot.

Make sure the network optimization functions are switched off in
the Wi-Fi settings or in the network settings for your Wi-Fi de-
vice. For additional information, refer to the user guide for your
Wi-Fi device.
