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.
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 181, Input level.
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 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).
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 183
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 174.
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.
