Default mmi switch-off

If I stop the car while listening to music from my sd card or usb, when I restart the car the music will come on and then go dead for 30 seconds before coming back on. This doesn't happen with the radio. Does anyone know how to stop this - would it require a software update?

Give it a little time. I've also asked this question in a different thread.

I just tested this and I do not have the problem you are describing. When I start the car, the music from the SD card starts playing and keeps on playing with no interruption.

Thank you. My car was one of the first out of the factory. I reckon a software update should cure it.

Not sure if this is the same issue but extract from another of my posts:

I also reported intermittent problem of MMI restarting when playing CD or listening to Radio etc and they are still waiting for a software update from Audi to fix that. As a temporary fix they have disconnected my digital radio aerial until the software update is available which seems strange but appears to work as have had no repeat of the problem so far.

No, this not the same. What you are talking about is the MMI (or to be exact the processor in the MMI) randomly rebooting. Different issue which is more likely caused by a hardware problem, most likely a bad solder joint.

I have just had a replacement "infotainment ecu" fitted to fix a problem with not being able to view google maps but apparently still need a software update to address the MMI restart.
