Actually this has been a big complain for many years. I just couldn't understand what is so hard about that when almost everything is written in Unicode and therefore should be able to display any characters. MMI is still not able to display Chinese but at least the instrument panel can now.

Exactly. I have no idea why there is a difference in language coding between the main LCD monitor and the instrument panel LCD. It simply does not make any sense.

If so, how much is the quality degraded since I imagine it converts from PCM to some lossy compressed format to save space.
Just tested and you can only import discs from the center DVD disc slot. Changer can play mp3 discs.

I don't want to drift of topic, but I have question regarding the use of SD cards on the MMI.

Can anyone tell me what kind of SD cards to use? Should I use the faster class 10 cards? Will that help with the scanning of my music files?

In my temporary Peugeot 508SW I curently use an 8Gb USB-stick, which will take 1 to 2 minutes after each start before it is ready to play music. How does that work with the Audi MMI and SD cards?

Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions!

I have a class 10 and a class 6 in mine, see very little difference but I haven't timed how long they each take. With the price of class 10s I would just use those, or import the music to the jukebox and not worry about the SD other than as an update.

Does the 2012 Jukebox support both mp3 songs and audiobooks from iTunes? Apple formats are .aac for music and m4b for books. Are they supported? 2010 model just ignores it while importing into jukebox from sd card.

Don't know. The manual was pretty good about listing what formats were supported IIRC.

Still waiting for my car and therefore the question. Guess I'll have to wait.

Where/How did you get the composite connector? I have an Ipod Composite connector for video, but how do I get the connector from those three plugs to the Audi system?

thx.

Guys, do nice artwork and all show up in the 2012 A6? If so, for what connections? iPod? SD Card? Jukebox?
