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

thats weird... mine remembers.


i only use it for the SD card, but as long as i dont take the card out and put it back in it remembers.

if i take it out, it doesnt remember though.

What "radio" option do you have?
What source do you use (Built-in CD, Memory Card, External I/F)?
What about Mute and Volume, does it forget that too?

These memories seem to depend which combination of Standard/Nav/B&O you have.

I was actually going to ask the same question today - I picked up my 2010 A4 this past weekend and it's killing me that MMI doesn't remember that I had mix/shuffle turned on. I have the problem whether source is iPod, Jukebox, or a DVD of MP3s. Once I turn the car off it no longer remembers I had shuffle/mix turned on. I'd love to have a fix for this...

We all would... At least its not as bad as the original firmware on my 06. If you put it in shuffle and then hit next or previous it would take it out of shuffle mode. HAHAHA. They did fix that one on an upgrade.

On my 2009 w/Nav it comes and goes. Usually it remembers but occasionally it forgets. I can't seem to pin down when it goes back to non-mix but it might have something to do with the length of time the car has been off.

Also, as has been previously reported, if you are in the mix mode and select a different song in the MMI, it will come out of mix mode. If you just advance to the next song using the song "advance" button, it stays in mix mode. Go figure.

It does appear to be time based - when I got to work this morning it was on Mix, when I ran out to grab lunch 4.5 hours later it was not in mix. I put it back in Mix mode, and after a 5 minute stop to grab a slice of pizza it was still in mix when I started the car back up.

Based on my observation the MMI "shuts down" after about 20 mins. This means you don't have to wait for it to restart when you hop out of the car to grab milk.

It loses the MIX setting when it "shuts down".

This is not universal in all configurations. Mine doesn't lose mix mode at all, no matter how long the car has been sitting. I use a USB flash drive connected to the AMI. This might be different for iPod use.

yeah mine keeps the mode as long as i dont remove and change the contents of the SD card.

I have never tried it on the AMI though.
