Integration with Audi MMI

i have a 2011 a5 with MMI. earlier today i purchased an apple lightning adapter to plug my iphone into the glovebox. as you said, "IPHONE" showed up on my source list and i clicked onto it but it kept "loading" for a long time. after 15 min or so i stopped. did this happen to you? how many times should i reconnect this?

I have a 2012 A4. My iPhone 4 worked fine. But with the 5, I'm fine for addresses, phone etc, but it only plays my children's audio books and none of my music - very frustrating. Any ideas? I do so LOVE my music, and it seems to work fine (via the glovebox) with all other iphone varieties (not with the new pin/adapter).

would you email me your instructions? i have a 2009 audi and a 4th generation ipod touch.any and all input/advise is appreciated.

Same problem here - my iTuch has always worked fine inclduing Album art but all of a sudden 'iPod not supported' on 2012 MY A4 and now on an 2013 A6 Alroad too. this is especially baffling as my 2012 A6 avant worked fine.

I've tried bOth the 'red' and blue' Audi MMi connecteors without success and the itouch works great on my Becker Grand Prix in a Porsche.

Itouch is running 3.1.3 - do I need to got back to V2?

I have a 2013 Audi A4 and an iPod 5th generation. When listening to an audio book sometimes it will loose it's place and go back to the beginning of my music library. IThis is very irritating because then I need to go back and find the place in the book where it left off. Any solutions?

I gave up trying to get MMI to let me stream through the cable. Sometimes it would work, and stay working, other times I'd have the PLAY button war, and other times it would lock up altogether.

I use the custom cable/receiver from here: http://a2dp4audi.com/ and just use Bluetooth for streaming now.

Hi. Can you email that patch to me? dnew9999@yahoo.com

I'm sure this has been answered many ways but Q5 doesn't have bluetooth streaming. Also anything you plug into your iPhone with a Dock Connector will kill any usefullness from your phone. Never use a dock connector if you want to use your phone audio apps or phone in general. So what to do?

I have my iPhone 4 and now 5 mounted using the ProClip products. Q5 mount plate, iPhone 5 mount for (original lightning to 30 pin apple adapter cable, not the iPhone5 lightning charging cable). Here is that cable Apple Lightning to 30-Pin Adapter (0.2M) from Amazon.

Now you need 3.5mm Audio Line Out + 30pin Usb Dock Cable for Iphone Ipod from Amazon. This will allow you to plug one end into the 30 pin lightning adapter and the other end has a audio connector you will plug into the LINE-IN audio adapter in your Q5 glovebox, NOT THE AUDI IPOD ADAPTER, go to Audi and get the line-in version.

You'll then need an audio 3.5 extension cable to span the distance from your dash area to the glovebox AND you will need a USB extension cable with USB 5V power adapter which is plugged into my center console. I drilled a small hole in the center console in the back bottom and ran the USB cable down and along the side of the passenger seat. Then you can bring it up near the umbrella holder behind the plastic parts and slip the audio piece into the glove box from anothe small hold I driller where there is currently a small square opening. Just wrap all the cables as necessary.

NOW I get in my car, dock the phone in the cradle, it get's power and my line-in receives high quality (non-bluetooth) audio from my phone. I can use all my apps, pandora, di.fm, etc. When I make a call my bluetooth in the car kicks in and mutes the line-in.

Total nightmare but so amazing. AND if you are gutsy you can pry out the right edge of the AC control panel, it will just pop out and you can slip the lightning to 30pin dongle right behind the AC and queeze it back in and run the cables behind the console. It looks pro installed.

My iPhone started playing podcasts at double speed when I control it through MMI. When I control it through the iPhone while connected to the MMI, it is fine. Music plays fine either way. Any suggestions?

Looks like you all have tried it all. I don't know if this will help or if it's even possible, but has anyone tried contacting a electrics store or retailer, someone one who installs, sells car radios? They may have had this problem and may have a fix or a third party patch. It's just a thought. Good luck.

actually, it's easier than that. i have 3 audis and 1 lamborghini that all are using multiple iphone 5s to dock. all phones charge, play music, and bluetooth (calls and valentine1 radar simulatenous connections) work beautifully.

here's what i found out and have installed in each car. there is no need for audio cable...just the oem apple 30 pin to lighting extension (0.2mm).

• kuda matching leather mounts
• proclip part # 514434 http://www.proclipusa.com/phone-holders/device/apple/iphone-5-5s-with-a-case/adj ustable-holder-for-cable-attachment-514434-19369.cmsv?p_leftorright=0
• oem apple 30 pin to lightning extension (0.2mm), that connects to...
• 30 pin extenstion cable (2-3 ft...a good certified brand), that connects to...
• oem audi mmi 30 pin adapter

do NOT use the oem audi mmi usb adapter. it will NOT work with any lighting to usb cables. i've tried 5 different cables include the oem apple lightning to usb cabe.

my setup is clean and works perfectly. see pix attached. i just need to get some black shrink tube to get rid of the white so it looks more integrated.

the flash washed out the actual color of the beige leather of the kuda mount in the q5, but in real life the color match is perfect for my q5's interior. all other kuda mounts in the other cars are black and match perfectly also.

i too just bought a 2012 a4 with the AMI my 80gb ipod video and my old 3gs dont work either says device not supported but the samsung galaxy 5.0 i got free with my tv works 100% but its only 8gb and i havent a bigger sd card for it apple needs to get the finger out

Been a Apple fan sinse the apple machintosh plus had evey compuer every ipod every phone now i am upgrading to a nokia lumia 1020 cause want a change from the same old interface

I used the Tune2Air, which connects in the glove to the ipod connector (not lightening), then allows me to connect via bluetooth and stream through the system speakers. i gave back my lease, so I no longer need it and am selling it here:

I'm having a similar issue (2012 A6, iPod 3rd Generation -- used to work, then stopped working). Did you get any resolution on this?
