Edward N., CA (2017 Audi A3 S3)"Syncing music from my iPhone doesn’t work reliably. System locks in one song or playlist or freezes in shuffle mode even though I never select shuffle mode."
Anonymous, CA (2017 Audi A3 2.0T 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"the ICE and Android don't play well together, although ironically my wife's iPhone seems to get along just fine. And since it's intermittent, and my software seems to be the latest version, they can't figure it out. If I was someone who needed to use nav a lot, this would be a real disaster. Yes I know, first world problems ....."
Anonymous, CA (2017 Audi A3 2.0T 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Traffic updates are too slow and lousy! System is confusing in the way it displays and gives auditory directions. Disappointing considering the high price."
Anonymous, CA (2017 Audi A3 2.0T 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Freezes up constantly, doesn’t hold blue tooth connection, music streaming unreliable, GPS freezes, screen goes blank. This is all part of the $3000 Audi MMI system which has been replaced and the replacement unit is even worse."

"Sometimes it hooks up and works, sometimes it won't hook up, sometimes it flips between working and not working. Very frustrating, since it's one of the selling points of skipping in-car nav. My phone is new enough that I don't think it is the problem, the internet reports others have issues but no real fixes offered by Audi. And the satellite radio also intermittently doesn't work, which is the most frustrating"
