Hi All

Having terrible connectivity on android auto and and apple car play , i have both

Bluetooth for phone use connects fine

but when I plug either phone in , it just says 'reading usb, then goes to select mirror link or apple car play' and back to reading usb and that continues ....

is there un update for my system? 

really frustrated

 

thanks in advance

 

My first suggestion would be to try new cables as they can be notoriously bad.

Without checking your actual software train value, can never be 100% sure.

 

But odds are high that your software train is MST2_EU_SK_ZR_P0478T

Available is MST2_EU_SK_ZR_P0480T so a minor bump.

 

If it was working before and stable, and is now become hard to connect, then it's either cable as @john999boy mentions or the physical USB port has failure (bent pins or such)

Hi folks , thanks for the replies .

Ive only just got the car , and i have tried different leads with both phones , and still happening

i have included software details , could you direct me for the software update plz  

I will send you the firmware, but this does seem more of a physical fault with the acual USB socket (there is a TPI document so VAG are aware)

My car USB is dodge, always disconnects

I would agree with this. Having gone through a few usb leads I noticed the socket is very loose. If I make sure the plug is centred everything works fine. If not, its hit and miss.

 

Do you know the TPI reference and/or fix? My car is in for a service in a couple of weeks so I will raise it, if its worthwhile.

It's an Audi document, and it's mainly pointing a finger at customer.  They do mention that they are going to design a better socket.

 

Odds are this applies to Skoda as well, might be separate document.

 

Take this TPI mainly as a guideline only.

 Thanks. Mine's not damaged, just loose. I'll stick with ensuring the plug is in straight
