Problem Solution
Audi music interface: the mobile de-
vice is not recognized as a source.
For many cell phones or mobile devices, playback is not possi-
ble when the battery level is too low (less than 5% of its ca-
pacity). 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: malfunctions
during audio playback through an
iPod/iPhone.
The Bluetooth audio player function is switched on. Switch
this function off > page 169 when you are not using the Blue-
tooth audio player.
AUX input: there is static when con-
necting and disconnecting the AUX
connection cable.
When connecting and disconnecting, the External audio play-
er source is already selected. Before connecting or disconnect-
ing the mobile device, either mute the device (see
=> page 171) or switch to a different audio source (for exam-
ple > page 146, Opening the radio).
Bluetooth audio player/Wi-Fi audio
player: audio playback interference.
Only one interface should be actively used at a time to ensure
problem-free playback.
Wi-Fi audio player: audio playback in-
terference.
Audio playback interference can occur on some cell phones if
the Internet connection in the vehicle was not established
through the SIM card reader* on the MMI control panel and
the mobile data option on the cell phone is switched on. De-
activate the mobile data option on your cell phone.
Jukebox: tracks on the imported play-
list are grayed out.
When importing playlists, all of the files themselves must be
imported.
Jukebox: imported tracks cannot be
played or found.
If you cannot find imported tracks in the media center, they
may not be supported. Only copy supported files > page 162
to the Jukebox.
Wi-Fi audio player: multiple devices
are connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot. A
media player (such as a smartphone)
appears as the media source and can-
not be changed.
Close the myAudi app on the connected devices (such as
smartphones) that are not being used as the Wi-Fi audio play-
er. Likewise, close the UPnP server apps or the media permis-
sions on the integrated UPnP/DLNA server. Connect the de-
sired device as a Wi-Fi audio player > page 153.
Online media*: connection failed be-
tween 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.
Bluetooth audio player: interference
with track display and audio playback.
Playback interference can occur when using the Bluetooth au-
dio player if a music player app from a third party provider is
open. Audi recommends using the integrated media player on
your Bluetooth device (such as a smartphone).
Wi-Fi hotspot*: your Wi-Fi device is
disconnected from the Wi-Fi hotspot.
Make sure the network optimization functions are switched
off in the Wi-Fi settings or in the network settings for your
Wi-Fi device. For additional information refer to the user
guide for your Wi-Fi device.
