Solution
For many ce ll phones or mobile devices, playback is not possible
when the battery level is too low (less than 5% of its capacity).
The mobile de-vice will only be recognized as a source in the MMI
after connecting if the battery charge is sufficient.
The
Bluetooth audio player f unction is switched on. Switch this
function off
c:> page 231 when you a re not using the Bluetooth
audio player.
Reset the Media settings to the facto ry defau lt settings
c:>page 230.
When connecting a nd disconnecting, the External audio player
source is already selected. Before connecting or disconnecting the
mobile device, either mute the device (refer to
c:> page 233) or
sw itch to a different audio source (for example
c:> page 204, Open-
ing the radio function).
Only one interface should be act ively used at a time to ensure
problem-free playback.
When importing playlists, a ll of the fi les themselves must be im-
ported.
If yo u cannot find impor ted tracks in the media center, they may
not be supported. Only copy supported files
c:> page 223 to the
Jukebox.
Close the
Audi MMI connect app on the connected dev ices (for ex-
ample, smartphones) that are not being used as the Wi-Fi audio
p laye r*. Likewise, close the UPnP server apps or the media pe rm is-
sions on the integrated UPnP/DLNA server. Connect the desired
device as a Wi-Fi audio pla yer*
