publisher.

 The addresses and contacts stored in the
Navigation >> Favorites, Navigation >> Directory,
and Navigation >> Last destinations submenus
(Figure 1) disappear intermittently.

Figure 1. Navigation >> Favorites, Navigation >>
Directory, and Navigation >> Last destinations
submenus.
 Intermittently, the MMI system does not appear
to remember that the user’s myAudi PIN has
already been entered, and it requires the user to
enter the PIN again (Figure 2).

Figure 2. myAudi PIN entry.
 The voice recognition system does not easily recognize commands spoken by the driver. This condition
can be consistent or intermittent.

Technical Background
 If a user stores addresses and contacts in the Navigation >> Favorites, Navigation >> Directory, and
Navigation >> Last destinations submenus while a Bluetooth phone is paired to the vehicle, those addresses
and contacts will only be visible any time that the same phone is paired to the vehicle. Any time that the same
phone is not paired to the vehicle, the addresses and contacts will not be available.

 If a user stores addresses and contacts in the Navigation >> Favorites, Navigation >> Directory, and
Navigation >> Last destinations submenus while a Bluetooth phone is not paired to the vehicle, the
addresses and contacts will be available any time.
 In vehicles with AudieBay logo connect, the user is prompted to
enter the myAudi PIN when selecting online
destinations, accessing weather or other online
information, or when importing contacts from the
myAudi account (Figure 3). If the user’s Bluetooth
phone (the same phone that was paired to the vehicle
when the PIN was entered initially) is paired to the
vehicle, the user will not be prompted to re-enter the
PIN after it has been entered.

Figure 3. Importing contacts from the myAudi
account.
 2016 A6 and A7 vehicles have a known software issue that requires the myAudi PIN to be entered with each
ignition cycle. See TSB 2047433/1 '91 AudieBay logo connect myAudi pin not saved for stored online destinations’ for
service solution.
 MIB2 systems which support the AudieBay logo Smartphone Interface will log the customer out of myAudi when the
phone is connected via USB to the MMI to utilize Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The customer must re-enter
their myAudi PIN because the Bluetooth system is deactivated when ASI is active.
 Multiple voice recognition training sessions can be stored in the MMI for different users when different
phones are Bluetooth-paired during each training session. If a phone is not paired, the training session will be
stored under a default profile. This profile will be used each time the voice recognition system is used without
a phone being paired to the MMI.

Service
Explain the Technical Background to the customer:
If the customer’s vehicle is a 2016 A6 or A7 vehicle and the customer’s concern is with the myAudi PIN being
forgotten when myAudi online destinations are retrieved, then the MMI system must be updated according to:
 TSB 2059383: 91 MIB2 High: MMI reboots, CarPlay display blank, and various technical issues (Clu10 update)
- A4/A5/A6/A7/TT/R8/Q7.
 TSB 2059385: 91 MIB2 High: Reboots, CarPlay, audio issues, and various technical issues - A4, A5, A6, A7,
and Q7.
Tip: Please only use the vehicle’s VIN when looking up those TSBs as they are filtered to only show the one
that fits the vehicle.
 For MIB2 customers using the Smartphone Interface, please ask the customer to re-enter their myAudi PIN
with the phone’s Bluetooth system turned off and with nothing connected to the USB. Re-check and confirm
the myAudi PIN is remembered each time the vehicle is started. Suggest to the customer to leave the phone’s
Bluetooth off before starting the vehicle if the customer insists on using the AudieBay logo Smartphone Interface often.
 If the customer would like to store addresses and contacts in the Navigation >> Favorites, Navigation >>
Directory, and Navigation >> Last destinations submenus that can be viewed by any driver or passenger (no
security feature), explain that these addresses and contacts must be stored when there is no active Bluetooth
pairing. The phone’s Bluetooth radio must be OFF when these addresses and contacts are entered.
 Explain to the customer that if additional phones have ever been paired to the vehicle, it is possible that the
vehicle will pair to one of those phones if one is nearby (such as inside the customer’s home when the car is in
the garage/driveway).
 Explain to the customer that voice recognition training must be performed for every new Bluetooth-paired
phone. Recommended that voice recognition training be performed by the primary driver while there is no
phone paired via Bluetooth (turn off Bluetooth under Telephone >> Bluetooth Settings, and again when the
primary driver’s phone is paired to the MMI.
