Remembering Media Random/Mix Setting
#12
Being new to Audi, I thought that the forgeting of settings was normal. Mine plays the same exact song everytime I start it if my iPod is plugged in or CD is in. I have to go back and select random/mix, and then go out to main menu and select a differnt track, or it just keep playing the same stupid song... which just happens to be AC DC ...
maybe it's because it's first alphabetically ... I dunno.

Like others have mentioned, I have an iPod connected to it. It is a bit frustrating to have to manually change the setting every time I return to the car after an extended period of time

Hi everyone,
I always listen to my music set in the Random/Mix setting. Yet, whenever I turn the car off and turn it back on later, the Mix setting is ignored. I have to manually set it again.
Is there a way for me to have that be set and remembered ( automatically) for me?
Thanks,
Kirupa

While I'm not sure about 2010-2012 B8 MMI 3G models w/SD card slots, I believe that cars with MMI 3G Nav+ (2012+ C7 A6/S6/A7/S7, 2013+ B8 A4/S4/A5), the following seems to be the case re the Random song option sticking:
- SD cards and Jukebox will stick (SD card will only randomize within a single album, Jukebox will randomize all songs on the hard drive)
- All 2009+ B8/C7 seemingly regardless of year or MMI: AMI w/Ipod/iPhone will only stick until the car's systems go into deep sleep (which seems to vary in time based on factors I haven't been able to ascertain).

I've not seen anyone who has reported a fix for this. It appears to be related to which model/year car you have, whether you have 3G MMI Nav + (2013+ for B8) or MMI 3G Nav (pre 2013 B8, pre 2012 C7), which source is used and how long the car sits between start ups.

Just sayin'.

No offense intended, but this seems like such a minor annoyance to make that statement. No car is perfect and if this is the biggest shortcoming for you, one would think the overall benefits of owning an Audi would outweigh the inconvenience of having to tap a couple of buttons. I loved my B8 A4 and the few irritations like this were easily overlooked while I was having fun driving it.

I have a 2009 without NAV and I use a 35 GB USB key in the glove box instead of the iPod and the car remembers the MIX settings unless the USB is not detected, which happens randomly about 10% of the times I start the car.
Last week, it would refuse to play anything on the USB key, but was displaying the songs info ! First time it did that in 4 years. It came back to life after turning the car off and back on.
