Now only problem is it just shows a question mark and nothing else.
Here's a few pictures of my MMI:
This is Audi Navigation RMC Version , Europa
Someone did not do correctly firmware upgrade

Thanks is there anyway to restore the firmware or update the firmware myself? As my local audi mk dealers were just rude and weren't interested, they were just trying to fob me off -.-

Excuse the newbie question on this . . .

Where does the adapter cable plug in? And, it looks short - where does it reach so you can plug in your iphone or other device to the lightning port end?

I believe in the Q5 it's located in the glove box. In some other models it's located in the center console.

Quick question! Will this cable work for video on my 2015 A3 MMI Navigation? If so, will have to re-size the video pixel from 1080p to the right size? Thanks!

Doesn't the new 2015+ A3 use USB ports? If so, all you need is the appropriate USB to phone cable - no AMI cable necessary. As to MMI resolution for video, you need to check your MMI infotainment manual for the file format requirements. Audi changes the specs as new models are released.

No ;( The USB is for charging only.

So what type of port do you use to play music by wire from your phone? (Not bluetooth audio) Is it the Audi dedicated AMI port?
(You said you have an A3 even though we are in the Q5 forum).

Try unplugging the iPhone from the AMI and ensuring the Bluetooth Audio is selected in the Tel>Settings>Bluetooth menu. The phone, of course, must be paired with the car's Bluetooth. It should then work.

A workaround to avoid plugging and unplugging and changing Bluetooth Audio settings that I use is my iPhone is paired for tel and Bluetooth Audio and an older iPod in the console for the AMI source. Then I can select either source in the MMI.
So am I hearing right that you cannot stream pandora, spotify etc using the AMI cable?

Correct. Only native iPhone/iPad audio and video files through the AMI (which can also be played using Bluetooth Audio).
