I got my CPO before the update was available.

My friend is a service manager with a Mercedes-Benz dealership. He told me that in order for Mercedes to cover any work done under warranty, the customer must complain about the issue first. Even if there's an update*.

*Unless there's a recall.

So don't ask for updates, just complain that something isn't right. This will ensure that the dealer gets compensated under warranty**.

** Even then, sometimes work/fix won't be performed because no codes were thrown.

For the MMI update, is issue with BT track information the best excuse to use?

If you are not experiencing transmission issue, do not update the software. You may not like the delayed upshift pattern after the update.

I am definitely experiencing it. If I put my foot down I get a kick in the butt.

It's sad that Audi's dealer network isn't consistent to Audi's own directives.
This dealer isn't even consistent with their own customers. I have talked to the other S6 owners who go to the same dealership and we all have been told different things. Most of us all now only deal with the service manager.

Luckily there will be a new dealership opening in a few months.

Bluetooth Audio full song information on the screen was missing on certain devices like the iPhones. MMI update 715-1 has restored that for most.
