What Owners Say
"Backup camera stopped working periodically. Software fix by dealer seems to have resolved."
Anonymous, GA (2018 Audi A4 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Just a pain in the butt! Dealer had no way to fix it."
Robert G., NH (2018 Audi A4 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"The GPS is linked with a service called Audi Connect. This is subscription service that allow for more advanced features. It requires software on the car, a satellite connection, and a paid membership. The service kept failing, dealership couldn't fix it, Audi Connect personnel could fix it, and they wouldn't credit my account t for lost months of these features. It has been a very frustrating experience with an otherwise great car."

Anonymous, GA (2018 Audi A4 2.0T 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Radio cuts out. Audi dealer has car and is fixing it"
Anonymous, WA (2018 Audi A4 2.0T 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"There were a few times that the radio came on when I started the car even though the radio had not been on when I last drove the car and turned off the engine. In addition, there were a number of occasions when while driving the car with the radio off it would turn on by itself, sometimes on the same station it had been set at and sometimes on a different station. Then other times when driving with the radio on it would suddenly change to a different station on the same (FM) band and other times change to a station on a completely different band like from an FM station to a station on the XM band."
Anonymous, CT (2018 Audi A4 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Extreme buzzing and vibration in front speakers. Dealer refuse to acknowledge and all they seem able to do is install latest software and claim all is well. I have premium B&O sound system."
Anonymous, NY (2018 Audi A4 Ultra 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Often has no idea what we are talking about!"

"It did not work for a year. They had no fix. Finally, they have an update that enables it to mostly work - if you plug in the iPhone after the car has started. It often stops working if you switch to the radio and then later back to CarPlay. Crazy and amateurish."
