I'm trying to connect my iPhone to my 2017 A4 so I can use the MMI media center rather than CarPlay, which keeps crashing. The car's hotspot is on and I get to the screen where it says to connect my phone and displays the hotspot password. I attempt to connect to the network with my phone but it just hangs and never actually connects.

Anyone successful with this yet?

I haven't had any issues connecting to the wifi but you just need to pair it with Bluetooth for the mmi media to work.

There is also a wifi media connection that you can use in the a4.

I had to use a different password than I would have used, because I couldn't get my phone to connect to the hotspot until I changed it. It would connect, and then immediately disconnect. Try something else for the password.

That's the exact behavior I'm seeing - I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the tip.

Still no go. I changed the car's hotspot password and tried to connect, and it seems like it wants to work, but after connecting I'm taken to the My Audi login page. I log in with my correct credentials there and then immediately lose connection to the wifi in the car. Baffling.

Have you tried another device to see if it has the same problem

Yep, I've now tried with a couple of other devices (laptop, iPad) and same thing. It connects, then takes me to the My Audi login page, I log in, and then it immediately disconnects. Frustrating.

You might try calling the Audi 800 number. They have people who help with technology questions.
