Troubleshooting 
The information that follows lists some trouble- 
shooting options. They depend on the equip- 
ment. 
  
Problem Solution 
  
Audi music interface/Bluetooth 
audio player: the mobile device is 
not supported. 
Read the instructions in the chapter > page 220, Multimedia 
connections/> page 218, 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: the mobile 
device is not recognized as a 
source. 
For many mobile phones or mobile devices, playback is not possi- 
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 232 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 M7P is selected in the settings on your 
mobile device.

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.
