Audi MMI 2018 Detailed Tutorial and Review: Tech Help

[@RapaciousRaporter]

Thank you for a great presentation. I own the 2018 Q5 and the function “owner’s manual” is not functional. My dealer tells me it has been discontinued but this video clearly shows it is not.

[@timl2116]

Thanks for your video! I wish you could show which button as hit on the steering wheel or nav console activates which screen setting.

[@MrMProudfoot]

Thanks for this informative video. Are you aware if there is a hack for using an iPod on MMIs that gives the dreaded "Not Supported" message? I have a 2018 SQ5. Thanks.

[@markdavid3316]

Can I use a stylus pen on the MMI TouchPad? And also thanks for showing me how to hook up the android auto. I was lost trying to find out if my car had it. 2018 q7

[@giostonge]

I have a 2018 S5 Sportback. When I jump in the car, the SiriusXM does not start up with the presets showing. It reverts to the full channel list. On my 2013 Audi, when starting the car, the SiriusXM came on with the presets listed if that was what I was using the last time I drove the car. Also, how do I tell what version of the MMI I have? Thanks.

[@asian2195]

Entering an address really sucks for Navigation. On other cars you use a touch screen where you enter numbers, street and city and the system finds the location as you type. It is so much faster, more intuitive and easier. AUDI REALLY MISSED THE BOAT ON THIS ONE!

[@An.Individual]

Really good thanks. I went for a test drive today and this video gives much info than the salesman did.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! So glad it was helpful for you!

[@2007sox2007]

Good tutorial, thank you. Any idea on how to stop the music from auto playing every time I start my car?

[@src9691]

There is a setting on your phone, within the Android Auto app settings.

[@ariframzan8602]

How does the CD player works in regards of controlling it ? All done by the dial ?

[@jphe1644]

from my experience, can all be done by dials and buttons on the steering wheel

[@andreicojocaru5812]

Bro i have a A3 s line e-tron 40 from oct 2020 and i cant conect this mmi . I have an myAudi acc and app works ok but some features like battery , ev km, start engine istnt working. And i have an error saying data error invalid response from server. I went to Audi here in Munich Germany and they have no idea how to fix it. I call IT support and they told me my iPhone is too new and I have tod downgrade my iphone. I cant make this thing work. any ideas??

[@ThiagoDasMedalhas]

Hi, is it possible to use voice commands to make phone calls when the phone is connected by Bluetooth?

[@CarConfections]

Hi! And yes, that is a command you can do through the voice controls. Hope that helps!

[@bobr6078]

Great information on the functions in an easy format to understand. As others, I more than likely won't buy the Audi Connect with all the smart phones available I'll depend on Car Play.

[@sidutube]

Just wish to convey a recommendation. You didn't even speicfy the ways to connect the phone - bluetooth, hotspot, USB

[@latreselatrese4179]

Thank you so much for the video! I'm new to the Audi world. I have the plain screen and was told I need to update it with Sb card for $400. I hope doing so will give me these features 🤞🏽❤

[@chatt31]

Very informative indeed. You have covered items the salesman missed. Thank you very much.

[@CarConfections]

Glad you found it useful!

[@GaryWyngaardt]

I only have 1 USB port and it says “charge only”, how can I connect android auto? I have a 2018 Audi Q5

[@Ash-op2ql]

Will the navigation system on this work in Canada ? Or is it just Central America addresses?

[@stevewhalen5949]

How did you get Android Auto to display full screen? Mine doesnt scale properly to utilize the full screen

[@CarConfections]

We didn't do anything, it just did it automatically. This is a Q5, so maybe it's different for different model lines?

[@JimmyDew_]

Q5 2019 I programmed the garage door opener, great feature but it won't stay. After 3 times reprogramming I gave up. Any reason why it keeps disconnecting?

[@paragsodha]

Hi.. Cool Video.. Thanks.. Pls advise does it play mp4 format thru USB drive??

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

Nice detailed tutorial, Car Confections! Audi's MMI system seems like a pretty feature rich and well equipped infoitainment system. A touchscreen option would have been a nice "touch", but the screen seems very responsive! The graphics of the screen also look very quality and crisp, too. Keep up the great work! 👍 -DriveAndBeDriven 🚘 "The Quest To Record The Best!" 📽

[@alper2007]

Thanks for the helpful video. Do you know if the Q5 comes with the USB cable for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto?

[@CarConfections]

You're welcome! It does not come with a wire but Audi no longer uses the proprietary connector so you can just use whatever wire your phone came with

[@carlkeehn8636]

This is a good presentation IF I KNEW WHAT BUTTONS OR CONTROL HE IS USING

[@jayharvey9239]

Yes for an additional $125.00 but they include a tube of KY.

[@manowar971]

I can't put the wi-fi audio player to work. Can you please made a detailed explanation video just about that. Regards and good work.

[@arminspahic6562]

Guys can you please let me know if there is a way to update 2016 MMI (the interface before this one) to this one. Please let me know if you know the answer. Thanks in advance

[@Hectortilla12]

I have a question, i just updated my iphone to the newest version iOS 11.3, and now it does not show my tracklist when im playing music......how do i fix that? i drive an audi s3 2017 btw

[@mustaphaaitoukhalek8892]

hello, please can you tell me how to unlock hidden fm radio station on audi a7 c7 ???

Thanks!

Update, got my own Audi, will be reviewing your Audi videos. 2018 mostly

[@johndavis1965]

I just got around to watching this. These are super informative. I don't own an Audi but I'd appreciate it if I did

[@kalle5391]

Hey man, i was wondering about something. If my A3 (E-Tron, 2016) does not have a Usb slot (only aux), how could i get android auto on it? Mine does sadly not have the NAVI option, no sim, and only 1 SD card slot. I realy want google maps:( Any thoughts?

[@CarConfections]

Are you 100% sure there are no USB ports?? It sounds crazy that a 2016 wouldn't have any

[@kalle5391]

@@CarConfections in centre I have 1 aux. On the mmi there is 1 sd slot. I can't find any other USB slots in the car

[@kalle5391]

@@CarConfections it does however have Bluetooth. But I don't think Auto will work with only Bluetooth.... I was wondering if I could change out the mmi box for something with wireless, of maby a USB port ? Thanks for the reply btw 👍

[@CarConfections]

@@kalle5391 You should probably stop by your local Audi dealership and talk to them about this issue. I think you may have one of the Audi's that was still using their proprietary connector, so they might be able to sell you one for relatively cheap. Android Auto doesn't have the ability to run wirelessly right now

[@kalle5391]

@@CarConfections thanks, I'll do that next week 👍

Can I jailbreak this computer on the a4 2018?

[@FinesseGuru]

Please anyone help ....buying a 2018 a4 premium. It has 14k miles and they want $19,000. Should i buy?

[@Natko69]

Why can’t I use Carplay in my 2018 Q2 with MMI Radio Plus and 7” color screen?😞 I’m from Croatia.

[@richardmacgurn487]

hey i am in costa rica with same problem i think it is the version of the software we have. did you check to see what version you have? mine is MST2_EU_AU_P9118D. now one has ever heard of this version? i have the same as you i think MMI Radio Plus which is MIB standard, no nav so CarPlay is very important to me.

How to set shifting in audi rs3 sedan

[@zzwhale]

JUST GOT an 2018 rs5 and this is very helpful... thanks

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! And congrats, that is such an awesome vehicle!

[@zzwhale]

Since you know cars... Mystic Black Metalic with black optic pkg /dynamic /dynamic plus/ dynamic steering /ceramic brakes /BO sound /nav package/sunroof/ black with gray stitching seats ... picked up yesterday in snowstorm and overnight additional snow for a total of 20"... so all i can do is look at it in my garage... yesterday enroute to pickup saw three seperate accidents (one flipped over one fatality) that crashed due to icy road... so on way home was really sweating but quattro is like on rails (ice is ice of course).. only one short burst in dynamic mode ...come on spring ... did not come with the rs driver assist (heads up) because this is the ONLY one in black in a 500 mile or greater range and was almost impossinle to get ... i know cause i called each and every dealer and most had already committed what they had... the 174 mph version in any case and was vail in nardo gray or red... aside from color, local NY metro dealers (sport designated) got ONE and volume dealers maybe got two ... and only maybe 6 with the 174 mph configuration... But i got the ONLY Mystic Black configured as above... soooo lucky... it's LIT...

[@CarConfections]

Wow sounds like a crazy night! I sure hope our local dealer gets an RS5 soon so we can review it!

[@JRMoritz]

Great job... bought my 2018 Q5 at Audi of Lexington. Great people there!

[@CarConfections]

+JR Moritz And glad to hear that! We enjoy working with them very much!

[@koshmary112]

Wow, the most archaic newest system ever. The UI is the same 10 years ago. Reminds me of my palm pilot.

[@tanquayen]

which button or wheel to push or turn ? very bad video

[@Robin-sf3gk]

Is this still the the 3G+ generation?

[@CarConfections]

It has 4g LTE

[@zzwhale]

who is going to win the derby..??

[@salemdigger5876]

Does anyone know if you can operate WAZE with this system?

[@CarConfections]

Jon McClellan Hi Jon. Waze is now supported by Android Auto, so you can use it through the 'Smartphone interface'. If you would rather not use Android Auto (or you own an Apple device) there is still build-in Inrix traffic available in the 'Audi Connect' apps. Hope this helps!

[@jstead22]

do you know if the new MMI software is compatible and available as an update for older Audi's?

[@CarConfections]

It depends on how old the vehicle is. On most Audi's its not, but if you have one that is fairly new with modern hardware then you should be able to update to the latest version number.

[@7700778737]

Audi connect is just too expensive. Shame on AUDI

[@briangarrison6099]

very informative. thank you

[@cheetahlion79]

I just got a 2018 A5 and I absolutely hate the navigation system. It rarely understands my voice commands and if I search for business names it absolutely never finds anything I'm searching for. The lack of touch screen is just unacceptable. Luckily, I can plug in my iphone and use the GPS, but why can't I use apple connect w/ bluetooth... What a shame. Maybe a brand new Audi system is better but until then. Oh well.

[@knolenproductions90]

Very nice review, thank you

[@CarConfections]

Glad you liked it!

[@teddi5039]

Does anyone know how to open the TVs for the back seats for the q5?

[@k_rimi3.455]

Is there sd card reader?

[@CarConfections]

It would depend on what model you're in. Some Audi's may have it, others might not. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful...

[@jeremyv11000]

Yes in glove box in my 17 a4 and in the dash on my 15 s5

why the hell do they not use touchscreen

[@acelinkX]

2020 version will have touch screen

[@jayharvey9239]

The reason is it will cost a few dollars more.

[@mopaher]

this is the worst shit audi have ever created, depending on your version, you cant steam music via bluetooth, even his the car is from 2018

[@lavoltare6307]

Must say i purchased A4 Allroad terribly unhappy with it, i find this info system very difficult to use as i always drove Mercedes which are far superior to Audi.

[@jayharvey9239]

I agree- We came from Lexus and find the creature comforts and utility of the interior space poorly designed and seriously lacking.

[@christiwoods8965]

I just got a used 2018 Q5 and driving across the desert I lose radio stations. How do I scan while driving? I don't have my phone connected yet to use for music
