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 211, Multimedia
connections/> page 210, Bluetooth audio player.

Audi music interface: the mobile
device is not recognized asa
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 touch/iPhone.
The Bluetooth audio player function is switched on. Switch this
function off > page 222 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 MTP is selected in the settings on your
mobile device.

Bluetooth audio player: interfer-
ence with track display and audio
playback.

Playback interference can occur when using the Bluetooth audio
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).
