Hi, below is a picture of my engine. I have a 2015 Audi A3 (8V). Can someone point me in the direction of where I can find the engine coolant sensor? Is it easily accessible on this engine?

Does the cable from the AMI port in the armrest plug directly into the MMI unit? I was checking all the cables in the back of the MMI unit but everything seems to be plugged in.

With VCDS be able to determine what the problem is? If not, any suggestions?

So I have been trying to use my AMI port in the armrest for sometime now. I have tried numerous AMI cables. It never has worked. I scanned the control module with my OBD 11. It came up with a fault that said: B128813 - Interface for external multimedia devices (MEDIA-IN) Open circuit. Obviously...

No, that’s not on my model. It has to be the cable I believe. I am going with the oem version for my MMI. I don’t know what else it can be.

I did not even install the CarPlay yet. Before I go to that I want to make sure the aux lights up on my screen. Right now it says not connected with any cable. Yours displayed aux connected before you even got your CarPlay.

Well I can’t find the right cable if it has to be a female 3.5. At this point I don’t care about the CarPlay. I just want my auxiliary connected on my screen to light up. This cable I bought off of eBay should do that. My MMI Unit is different than yours. The one the seller supplied with CarPlay...

I just bought one off of eBay that has a blue collar but it is an AMI to 30 pin for the old iPhones and ipods. But it’s a OEM part from Audi and it says it’s compatible with my MMI unit. For $10 I’ll give it a try.

Yes, thank you! You have a different software version than mine that’s why the cable with the yellow collar works for you. I don’t think the yellow one would work for me. I found this chart on eBay. I’m going to give it a try and get the one with the white or blue collar since I have MIB...

Can you do me a favor and tell me which software is on your MMI? Mine is MIB standard. From what I’m learning, there are different cables for different software versions. I think you may have a different software version than me.

I’ve tried everything. I think it has to be the cable.

The Pins on all the cables are fine. It must be the cable I’m using. I’ll have to try the one you suggested I guess.

And it works?????

I tried two different cables like the one in you picture. I have not tried that brand. The MMI system just does not recognize anything connected. I am thinking there may be something more to my problem. Is this the brand I should try?

But even without the iPhone connected, just with the AMI cable plugged in, it should still say connected on the screen. I will have a look at the pins. If that looks OK, I’ll just try the other cable. The three that I have tried are aftermarket cables from China.
