Hello!
So, on January 9th I took delivery of my brand new A6 2.0 Ultra Black Ed'.
On January 15th my neighbour reversed in to it :-( not much damage thankfully, it's off to the body shop tomorrow courtesy of "Sytner Drive" (which i still think sounds a little too-good-to-be-true). Anyway... That's a different matter.
Does anyone else with one of these and an iPhone 5, find the process of playing music from the phone via the MMI (cabled) infuriatingly temperamental?
I like to select "Tracks > All" and then set it to shuffle (mix). Most of the time this works fine, but sometimes (too frequently!) it gives up shuffling and reverts to the top of the list playing all of my tracks in alphabetical order and ignores me disabling and enabling "mix" and/or skipping to the next track until I disconnect and reconnect the phone.
It sometimes does the same if I skip back to a previous track.
Other times it won't recognise any music on my phone.
Sometimes it won't recognise certain tracks (it can randomly be any of them) on my phone (despite playing them on another day before/after).
Sometimes it'll play the track but not display the album cover. Other times it's fine.
Sometimes it plays a completely different track to the one displayed.
Finally, occasionally I might decide that I want to listen to a particular artist and/or album and with something in the region of 5,000 tracks on my phone, it's massively inconvenient to have to scroll and scroll and scroll to find the one I want... There must surely be a shortcut but I can find nothing in the instructions. E.g. In my last car (Volvo) if I wanted to listen to say, "Kings Of Leon", I'd be able to start typing "K... I... N..." Etc and get to it in no time
It's driving me mental, the user interface in this respect is pants and ruining my experience of a car that I otherwise love - honestly if I'd have experienced this on the test drive when I had one for a day it would have put me off it.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
