Not so sure about that. I stream live stuff frequently over both blue and red AMI cables. I've only had the red cable for a few weeks. This is on an A8, but I'm pretty certain MMI isn't that different between the A6 and A8 lines. You may want to ensure that you have 0566 firmware or later.

Good news. Looks like I will be purchasing a red cable soon and begging my dealer for the 0609 software upgrade.

Their are several threads discussing software updates from a dealer. Normally, I would suggest a forum search but since the search function is erratic right now I'll point you to here:

Bottom line, you have at least MMI 0566 and there doesn't seem to be much difference anyone can confirm with 0609 except the removal of engine off with driver door opening and auto e-brake applied in park when engine is turned off. These two can be removed with a TSB by the dealer at the owner's request but the TSB doesn't update to a new software version.

Depending on when you got your '13 A6 you have MMI software 0566 or 0609 (the latest).

There is also an newer sw 0566 v.2 that had a preview view of street view. Maybe that one had this brake engaged update

PO118
I have a 2012 Q5 and the software version is hundred versions from the "supported versions". Bonkers! I have software version PO118. I was about to buy the red cable but now know the cable may not be supported... unless others tried it? Perhaps if I take it in with the red cable and complain it does not read my Ipod 4gen touch, they would update. Still under manufacture warranty + certified warranty.
