Problem Solution

Audi music interface*/Bluetooth au-
dio player*: mobile device is not sup-
ported.
Read the instructions in the chapter > page 158, Multimedia
connections/=> page 155, Bluetooth audio player. You can
learn about supported mobile devices in the Audi database for
mobile devices at www.audiusa.com/bluetooth.

Audi music interface*/AUX input: the
volume is too high/too low when
starting playback through the AUX in-
put.

Adjust the volume of the mobile device to approximately 70%
of the maximum output > page 163, Input level. >

Media


Problem Solution

Audi music interface*: the portable
device 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 174 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 175) or switch to a different audio source (for exam-
ple > page 147, 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
interference.
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
playlist 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 166
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 156.

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.

must be adjusted to an upright position.
Make sure that the PASSENGER AIR BAG
OFF %; light comes on and stays on all the
time whenever the ignition is switched on.


ZA WARNING
If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF %; light does
not go out when an adult is sitting on the
front passenger seat after taking the steps
described above, have the airbag system in-
spected by your Audi dealer before transport-
ing anyone on the front passenger seat.

@ Tips
If the capacitive passenger detection system
determines that the front passenger seat is
empty, the frontal airbag on the passenger
side will be turned off, and the PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF 3; light will stay on.
Repair, care and disposal of the airbags
Parts of the airbag system are installed at many
different places on your Audi. Installing, remov-
ing, servicing or repairing a part in an area of the
vehicle can damage a part of an airbag system
and prevent that system from working properly
in a collision.
There are some important things you have to
know to make sure that the effectiveness of the
system will not be impaired and that discarded
components do not cause injury or pollute the
environment.

ZA WARNING
Improper care, servicing and repair proce-
dures can increase the risk of personal injury
and death by preventing an airbag from de-
ploying when needed or deploying an airbag
unexpectedly:
— Never cover, obstruct, or change the steer-
ing wheel horn pad or airbag cover or the in-
strument panel or modify them in any way.
— Never attach any objects such as cup holders
or telephone mountings to the surfaces cov-
ering the airbag units.


— For cleaning the horn pad or instrument
panel, use only a soft, dry cloth or one mois-
tened with plain water. Solvents or cleaners
could damage the airbag cover or change
the stiffness or strength of the material so
that the airbag cannot deploy and protect
properly.
— Never repair, adjust, or change any parts of
the airbag system.
— All work on the steering wheel, instrument
panel, front seats or electrical system (in-
cluding the installation of audio equipment,
cellular telephones and CB radios, etc.)
must be performed by a qualified technician
who has the training and special equipment
necessary.
— For any work on the airbag system, we
strongly recommend that you see your au-
thorized Audi dealer or qualified workshop.
— Never modify the front bumper or parts of
the vehicle body.
— Always make sure that the side airbag can
inflate
without interference:
— Never install seat covers or replacement
upholstery over the front seatbacks that
have not been specifically approved by Au-
di.
— Never use additional seat cushions that
cover the areas where the side airbags in-
flate.
— Damage to the original seat covers or to
the seam in the area of the side airbag
module must always be repaired immedi-
ately by an authorized Audi dealer.
— The airbag system can deploy only once. Af-
ter an airbag has been deployed, it must be
replaced with new replacement parts de-
signed and approved especially for your Audi
model version. Replacement of complete
airbag systems or airbag components must
be performed by qualified workshops only.
Make sure that any airbag service action is
entered in your Audi Warranty & Mainte-
nance booklet under AIRBAG REPLACEMENT
RECORD.
— For safety reasons in severe accidents, the
alternator and starter are separated from
