iPhone 6 constantly disconnecting from Audi MMI

I'm having exactly the same problem with my 2013 A3 and iPhone 6. My iPhone 4S used to work perfectly, but I can't connect the iPhone 6 via the MMI cable. I first thought the cable was defective but apparently it's not.

The problem is the same I guess: when I plug the phone, it keeps disconnecting and reconnecting every 3-4 seconds, making it impossible to use. My girlfriend also has an iPhone 5C but I didn't try it as I was afraid I could damage her phone if the cable was defective.

Let's hope Apple finds a solution rapidly, as using the phone just via Bluetooth isn't very comfortable to browse tracks when listening to music.

Hi guys, having real problems with this issue. It appears the Bluetooth is working fine so I have my contacts and can receive calls etc.

My aim is to get the music going from my phone whether is be from the iPhone itself or via spotify. Also to try and get it to charge my phone. It appears to work on iPhones 4 with the old cable.

I Have seen other discussions about system updates but I am still ios8 although there is an ios8.1 to be installed. Also seen discussions about battery life making a difference. also some guys have mentioned that the cable code of AD and AL With the green and yellow appears to make some difference?

any advice? Thanks

iphone6 and audi a4 2012

I'm pretty sure this is not just a charging problem. In my Audi A3 (2013) I'm only using bluetooth for the connection between the iPhone and the car to hear music from Spotify and it keeps disconneting randomly. Yesterday I've been to an Audi distributor, but they didn't have a clue. On my way home I stopped the car and took a video of the disconnects. The thing is even though the music stops playing and the media panel says "looking for bluetooth devices" the phone function still seem to work without a problem. I can see all my contacts or the call history (both of them are not stored on the Audi).

Hi isthatariot, This sounds like you are having the same problem as me! I try and play music through my spotify and/or iphone music with the Bluetooth and have no luck at all! I can however make calls and use all the phonebook features through the multi media functions! It just however wont find my phone through media!

Hey folks my Audi Q3 with iPhone 6 Plus I don't have the disconnect problem you all seem to be having. My iPhone is connected to the 30 Pin with a Lightening connector, all is good but the artwork does not display on the MMI screen? Does anybody know what the issue could be.

Having same issue with the bluetooth linked to my 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid. Never had any issues with past iphones. In fact, I bought two iphone 6S Plus phones and only one of them is having an issue.Going down the road trying to have a conversation via bluetooth and it keeps disconnecting and you have to grab the phone and talk until it connects again. I have deleted and relinked connections and that has not fixed it.

yeah that's what i will do. just ordered an extender cable.

btw: it's impossible to use your phone via bluetooth while it's connected to the ami right? so i can't use my hands-free stuff? the whole system is a mess and totally wrongheaded imo.

Im happy that it worked for both of you, it seems we achieved the key for make this working, but is so disappointing that Apple and VAG Group (audi, volkswagen, skoda, seat...) release this cable in "half working mode" and users go crazy trying and trying...

Hi,

I have the same issue with my A5 Sportback from 2014 since the very beginning With the iphone6. Since last week the iphone did not connect even for the typical couple of seconds. So I changed my cable today and explained tat I expect a final solution from Audi....Today my Audi deales promised to get further info from some specialists. At least today it was the very first time he told me, that he does not expect that it will work even with the new cable. However, unfortunately he was right... Not want I wanted to hear, but at least honest... I will now check the proposal with the extention and an Accu of more than 75%. If someone has another idea, would be great to share it here.

I Can´t believe that two premium high tech companies are not able to solve this issue...it´s a shame!

bye,

Thomas

I've just started getting this problem in the last two weeks.

I have the yellow collar adapter in my 2012 A6 which up to about 2 weeks ago worked fine either direct into my iPhone 6S Plus or via the extension lead shown a few posts up.

But now I'm getting random disconnections. It doesn't seem to be any difference what the charge level is on my phone. I'm running iOS 10.1.1.

Can't remember when the latest version of iOS came out. If it was a couple of weeks ago, then maybe Apple has broken something?

Same here guys, I hope this gets addressed in the next update.

At least now we know we're not alone ^^

Let's hope this gets fixed rapidly. Fingers crossed.

Hi isoline, I checked with Audi and there isn't an update available but hopefully the cable will fix it. Thanks

Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet? I'm having the exact same issue and haven't been able to find any fix 😟

guys any update on this ?
Has the cable updated for iphone 6 already came out ?

If so, could you give me the model #? Thanks
