MMI Misery -- First World Problem

Hey Guys,
So, I just started using my Q7. Last week it was at 120 miles and now at 1500 miles. The problem Im experiencing is first world, but infuriating nevertheless. I would say that if this car came out in the early 90s without all the MMI stuff, then I would love it for how smooth it is, but since getting this thing I cant connect to Carplay even when plugging in to USB(it offers option to connect then disconnects immediately---no carplay interface), the MMI Connect is down and 'Audi is working diligently to fix the problem,' so, key user functionality is dead. The MMI wont recognize my phone as an Audi smartphone. Also, the MMI will jam requiring reboot when the bluetooth and wifi are activated and my phone is plugged in. I spent an hour on the phone with Audi to see if they could help. The girl on the line went through all her algorithms to no avail. Finally, she just kept repeating that she had no idea despite multiple reboots and resets and told me to go to dealer. This is on top of the fogging of the headlight casing. Its all quite a bummer for a 100k car.
The good news is that the B&O sounds nice, the alcantara is sweet, the soft close doors work well, the massage seats are awesome, and the HUD is refreshing.
Anyone have any idea for the MMI?
Cheers and thanks for the vent,
A

We have a touch screen in our '16 F-150... we find it distracting.. We find that with touch screens you actually have to look at the screen as you touch it, which are eyes off the road. With our '15 S3, the varied ***** and buttons give a tactile sense of where your fingers are and what they can do. Touch screens don't do that. We are not fans of touch screens replacing ***** and buttons.
Comparing the two.... Audi does the electronic human interface far better than Ford.

Still having issues with parking sensors not sounding/muted, I phone Bluetooth is still a nightmare, hands off wheel DAS false warning, parking brake false warning. Hoping these have been sorted for the 19s

If addressed in MY18 I wonder why they cant fix these known issues on the '17's? FYI, I believe 1 or 2 took some time to manifest.
