Audi 2014 MMI does not support IPOD

I have the exact same problem. I just got my Q5 2014 yesterday and when I hook up my iPod Classic (older) it says 'not supported'. If anybody knows the answer to this please let me know. Thx!!!

Hi

Have you solved the problem ?

Can you confirm that an iPod Classic 160Go worked fine with a Q5 2011 ? (I own a Q5 2010...)

If yes I will have to get a classic 2009...

Thanks

I resolved the problem like this!

I went back to the dealer and compared the two wires, the one from my 2011 compared to the wire of the 2014.

The 2 wires look alike but the 2011 has a blue ring at one end end the 2014 has a red ring around it!

That right there is the difference!

The red wire is incompatible with the Classic 160 Gig. You need the wire with the blue ring!

The same as the one in the 2011 model.

Mind you Audi might want to charge you for the wire, that is for you to resolve with them, also note that the blue wire will NOT work with the Iphone 5S or some of the newest IPODS, check the compatibility list of both wires.

Have a good New Year!

Thanks for the quick reply !!!

All the best for 2014

Everything works fine !

I have the same car and had the same problem. I went back to the dealership and they replaced the cord that is used for the iPOD. The new one worked perfectly. i can't remember if it had the blue ring or the red ring. Just go there and try both. One will work for sure! Good luck!
