My wife has a new S3. Wanted tunes in it but didn't want to use her smart phone or spring for a $150 i pod. So I bought a $50 i pod shuffle, got the $67 connector from Audi, downloaded her tunes to the shuffle and installed in car. Worked great...until the next day, deader than a stone. Switched the shuffle on and off and worked...until the next time she tried to turn on. So, not sure what I doing right or wrong. Suggestions? I have an i pod in my RS 5 and has not missed a beat for over two years.

Make sure you are in Media mode

maybe try uploading to sd card?

MMI crashes the music app at times on my iPhone about once or twice per month I have to reboot the phone.

If she isn't disconnecting and reconnection a lot, not sure what else could be going on unless you bought a non-OEM cable.

I highly second the SD card option or even better, copy them to the hard drive, you get great functionality, album art, album browsing, etc.

Like others said, just get a $20 SD card. The MMI has a shuffle feature.

Not sure I understand the "shuffle feature" of the MMI. The MMI manual does reference using the I pod shuffle so I assume it should work. Just don't know why it does work and then does not.

You are right, it should work for sure. I recommend that she detach it before she gets out of the car, a PITA I know, but that should solve the problem.

Yes, we have decided that is the best solution, even as said a PITA.
