Any reason why every time I get in the car the radio goes back to the non-presets?

It's just a bit annoying that I have to go in to the system and change it to presets. Doesn't seem to make sense that it would ever change unless I want it to...

Do you mean that it changes stations on you or that it goes to the main radio menu when you restart it?

the screen in between the tach and speedo for radio stations always goes back to ALL stations and not presets. Seems counter intuitive to me. I keep having to scroll back to the choices and choose presets. Just a little niggly issue for me.

I have the same question. Seems it would either stay where you leave it or let you program it to default on a certain screen.

And whether there is any way to have the phone upload only my favorites rather than my whole phone book...

You can control this via your phone's Bluetooth options. For example, on an iPhone go to Settings...Bluetooth, click the (i) next to your Audi device, then uncheck All Contacts but leave Phone Favorites checked.

I have not experienced that issue. I do find it strange however that you cannot actually turn off the radio, only mute it. Each time I try to turn off the radio the screen folds away and I cannot use the nav. Other cars I've been in you can turn off the radio but use other functions of the system.

I have the crazy issue -only when listening to Sirius radio- that at completely random times/days/locations my Sirius radio jumps to the preview channel. "They" don't seem to know why this happens...
Sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread
