Audi MMI and iOS 11

I'm having this exact same issue. My 2014 A6 connects but I can't see the track info or switch between songs.

Also, it keeps switching from spotify to apple music as if I just connected and had no music app open.

I've tried (in this order):

• Disconnecting and reconnecting
• Restarting the phone (completely powered off and back on)
• Un-pairing and re-pairing

Just wanted to report my status quo ...

My "setup":

• Audi A3 Sportback (8VA, 2015)
• MMI+ Touch with software version MHIG_EU_AU_P1544
• iPhone 7 with iOS 11.1.1
• MMI cable with yellow collar (AUDI part number 4F0051510AL)

Functionality:

• Music playback works, but from time to time titles are skipped or start from the beginning for no obvious reason.
• No cover artwork, neither via cable nor via Bluetooth connection!

An earlier workaround using the MMI cable with red collar and dock connector (AUDI part number 4F0051510R) in connection with an Apple dock-to-lightning adapter cable is not working any longer. This workaround used to work like a charm including cover artwork.

I already got in touch with AUDI, but there is nothing but silence from their end ... 😟

I also updated to iOS11 today. Now, my iPhone 6s+ will not play on my Audi (2010 A5 MMI system. I tried "Forgetting this device" and re-attachment the blue tooth, but no joy. I tried attaching a "lightning" connecting wire to my vehicle, but no joy.

Hi All,

I'm also having the same problem. it appears the IOS 11 has doesn't like MMI system. I'm also encountering an issue with all contacts the have images assigned to them. For these contacts the voice dialing over Bluetooth doesn't work. Remove the image and voice dialing works again. Definitely a bug in IOS 11.

thanks

Audi (or whoever made the MMI software) will need to update their system. Apple releases beta versions of iOS specifically for this purpose. Audi should have been on this a long time ago. Call them and ask when an update will be made to be compatible with iOS 11.

This seems to be a problem for a lot of people, I connect my iPhone 6 via the custom lead supplied by Audi (not a USB which has a lightning connector to then attach it to the phone) this then operates apple music through the screen in the car and voice control making it hands free - I cannot connect via bluetooth as the car only supports 1 blue tooth device and I need my business phone connected to it during the working week. Since updating to iOS 11.0.1 I get an error message saying the device is not supported. Do you know if there has been a software update issues to Audi - I assume they would have worked with apple on it? I am in an Audi A4 2014.

The only person that can mark it as solved is the original poster. For them the 11.0.2 update resolved the issue (which is pretty lucky as that normally doesn't fix these kind of issues). If you are having a problem still with your vehicle/system, contact Audi to see if they will be issuing a firmware update to be compatible with iOS 11.

I have just downloaded the latest update on my phone but not tried it in the car yet so I'll test it today. Just a note re contacting Audi - I emailed and spoke to Audi customer service in the UK and they had no idea if or when there would be a firmware update so not very helpful.

Hi Martin, cdn_tech_guy, and all

I tried to reboot the MMI system and the iPhone successfully was recognized, but that lasted only until I disconnected the iPhone and tried to reconnect it again. Now the same error appears "iPod not supported" on the Audi MMI (2015 Audi Q3) system.

The connection via Bluetooth continues to function, I am able to listen to music (only skip forward or backwards) and am able to initiate and receive bluetooth calls.. but the physical connection to the Audi MMI system no longer seems supported.

Am I missing something?

Problem persists with IOS11 - Audi AMI not working anymore since upgrade to IOS 11 on Audi S3 (8V, 2016) Resetting MMI did not help, only Bluetooth connection is working but AMI is not. Any more Ideas?

Went to my Audi dealer and he contacted the Audi headquarters in Germany. The problem in known by Audi and would be due to the proprietary cable used to connect the iPhone to the MMI. Since the last changes in IOS 11 that cable is not compatible anymore.

My dealer said that Audi is working on a new cable but it will take time to get released and we will have to pay for it...

Thank you Apple for making the IOS 11 not compatible with some bird equipment and thank you Audi for being so slow on solving this and having us to pay for the fix 😡

I have similar issue in my A4 2013!

My old iphone 6 connects to the calls but not Audio playback. Then I upgraded to iphone 7 still the same issue. However with my wife iohone 6s both calls and audio playback the all works well.

Same problem here! Brand new A1 (2017, model year 2018, MMI version RMC_EU_P16342) and iPhone 7 with iOS 11.1.2.

Phone is recognized and MMI starts to play and control the music but every now and then the MMI disconnects from the phone and then connects back again... very very bad!

Anyone knows something about fixing this particular issue?

Thanks!

If you read above Audi has admitted that it’s an issue on their end and they are investigating a fix. They have stated that the end user will need to pay for the fix. An iOS update won’t change anything.
