Troubleshooting

Problem Solution

Audi music interface*/Bluetooth au-
dio player*: mobile device is not sup-
ported.
Read the instructions in the chapter > page 176, Multimedia
connections/=> page 173, Bluetooth audio player.

starting playback through the AUX in-
put.
Adjust the volume of the mobile device to approximately 70%
of the maximum output > page 181, Input level.

Audi music interface*: the portable

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 192 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 193) or switch to a different audio source (for exam-
ple > page 165, Opening the radio).

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.
