Default How to enable Aux-in in 2016 A4 Avant?

Hello

I have a rental Audi A4 Avant, 2016 Business model here in Italy. I cannot enable my Aux-in. I've seen videos online how to do so with a button combination (Car +Setup), but it applies to the older Audi models. (
)

I have this car for another three weeks and I want to be able to play my iPod. Please help. Thanks!

The reason for not having the Aux Input (under armrest) is usually because it was replaced by AMI (Audi Music Interface) which is specially made for iPod/iPhone. In that case the AMI connection is available in the glove box. (Maybe there is no iPod cable in the rental car.

Anyway I don't think activating the Aux input (if not available) is the solution for your rental. (First the green hidden menu has to be enabled via the OBD I/F using VCDS or similar, then the Aux cabling needs to be connected.)

There is a Aux connector port under the arm rest, but when I plug in my device, there is now music in the car. There is not an option to select Aux input on the stereo screen, the ami.

What do I need to do?

Press the MEDIA button. Usually on the lower left.

Scroll the screen to AUX IN

You are ready to rock.
