A4 ipod / mix function - 2008 by lucya4
Apr 30, 2008 (8:59 am)
Reply
I just picked up my car and am having trouble with the built in iPod recognizing my playlists. It appears that CD 7-11 pick up the first 5 playlists, but does not show the playlist name? Is there a fix to this? I knew the songs wouldn't show, but the playlist?
 
Also, how do I have the mix function stay permanently on? It seems I have to reselect this every time I turn on the car.
 
Thx

No - I've not received any responses, but reading more on the web, this appears to be a "quirck" of the car - sucks, but only thing thus far I do not like. Mine came with the satellite radio already wired - part of the Special Edition package. I had ordered the car in January without it, but it appears they did some switching on packages (it was ok).
 
Here is the link explaining the radio:

I have a 200 A6 4.2 and have very poor am radio reception. I am wondering if there has been something disconnected or if there is a booster of some sort?

IPOD and Satellite Radio by max4fun

I have a 2007 A4. Bought it used. Signed up for Sirius Satellite Radio, but it didn't work. The Audi dealer is telling me that since I have the IPOD hook up, you can't have both. Is that a glitch? It doesn't make sense that you can't use your IPOD and use Sirius as well. Any thoughts?

Audi 2003 A4 Amplifier by dcaudi

Hello everyone,
i have a 2003 A4 3.0L, and the stereo died on me about a year ago. Audi says its the amplifier and they want to charge me ~$900 to change it. It's the Bose upgrade. Anyone know how I could find the exact amplifier and have a stereo place change it? Or can I just change the amplifier to any brand?
Thanks

2008 Audi A4 iPod Player Issues - Anyone Help? by ilovemyaudi
Aug 19, 2008 (9:04 pm)

Is anyone else having issues with their factor installed iPod players? Issues are as follows:
 
 - skips songs
 - repeats songs over and over on various tracks
 - does not read various songs
  
I have now made 8 trips into my Dealer and they can't figure this out. They have even gone as far as to say that there is no issue. WHAT?!!!
 
I was told that my iPod was out of date and not supported with the Audi A4. So, I purchased a new iPod and I am having the same problems. Not only does these problems happen with my iPod (3 different iPods) but my frinnds iPods as well.
 
Has anyone else run into this same problem? Any solutions that you can think of?

I was wondering if you can connect an ipod through the audio USB port using a USB cable? If it works can you control the ipod from the audio system? thank you. My A4 only has a usb port it does not have an aux port.
Thank You

Bang and Olufsen, Bose, and Audi Symphony by nebatuga

I've owned 05 and 07 A4s-- both with the Bose stereo upgrade. Looking at the 09, I see the premium audio is a Bang and Olufsen system, but only available on the "prestige" package at a cost better than $40K. That sounds like too much for an A4.
 
It looks as if the stock Audi Symphony stereo is the best I can afford on the newly redesigned models. Anyone have any opinions on how the stock stereo sounds compared to the old Bose and new B&O system?

I can tell you that the Audi Symphony is better than the Bose system. When I got my 06 A4 3.2, I specifically did NOT want Bose. I tested both systems in the 06 A4 with my own CDs and it was night and day. The Bose sounded awful. It was so bad I was convinced there was a fault in their programming. I added my own aftermarket subwoofer to the Symphony and it sounds great. The sub that comes from the factory is so weak you can't tell it's even there.
 
The B&O system is the best of the lot. Very clean and natural sound, close to an audiophile quality. There is nothing wrong with the base stereo . . . just a little underpowered and needs an aftermarket sub.
