"In fact, I was surprised to see that cover art is displayed on the MMI screen while streaming through Bluetooth."
Hmm, there was some discussion about this a couple of days ago. You're the first person who has mentioned they were able to get album art on MMI from Bluetooth.

But like I said, the system is definitely not grabbing cover art from the music files, as some of the covers are clearly different than the ones embedded in the music files. There were also a couple of more obscure tracks that were given generic covers.

I play most of my music through Google Music via Bluetooth and I get cover art for a lot of things, but not always. Sometimes I just get a generic "Rock" or "Alternative Music" cover art. I'm not sure it's so much sending art via Bluetooth as the MMI is querying the song/artist and pulling it down on its own (perhaps via Audi Connect).

For the album art, I think that might be coming from the GraceNotes database. I saw that software in the software listing in the MMI panel. If that is the case, it means that your song will have to exactly match the song listed in GraceNotes and that explains why album art is there for some songs and not for others. I get album art for maybe 75% of my songs and I use Google Play Music over Bluetooth for all my music.

Hi,
First time poster, long time lurker...
I picked up an A4 s-Line in January, liking the car but it seems to suffer form
A few issues, I wonder if anybody else is suffering the same?
1, The Bluetooth was initially terrible, phone often would not connect and calls/music would be so distorted they could not be heard, eventually Audi agreed to change the Bluetooth module, which at least seems to have solved the issues with the phone connected at all, but the call quality and streaming music is still choppy, especially when in my pocket (I have tried with several different brand phones). Anybody else having this issue?
2, The keybob remote unlock range is terrible, not too bad for the back of the vehicle, but from the front I would say I need to be a metre from the car before it will lock/unlock, particularly annoying when walking away and trying to lock it. When reported to the dealer as they were changing the Bluetooth I was told "wel if yours is wrong they must all be wrong because they are all like that" surely not...
A little disappointing so far after switching from Mercedes, I know you can get faults with any car but they seem quite dismissive of "trivial issues" as I drive a lot for work, lack of useable Bluetooth is a real problem for me
sorry to drone on but hopefully other b9 owners can confirm this isn't the norm.
Cheers, Matt.

Mitchfin - I second that trick. People mock it, but I've been doing it for years with other vehicles and it is a noticeable difference. Of course, I might be on the way to giving myself a brain tumor, but ...
