Production Solution
Not applicable.

Service
Troubleshooting:
The customer concern can arise from the vehicle not receiving the updated function from the Audi connect
backend. The Gateway, J533 (address word 0019) must synchronize its data with the Audi connect backend
before the functions are activated in the vehicle. In some situations, the vehicle may require several ignition
cycles before this synchronization occurs.
Perform one or all of these steps to resolve the issue:
 Ensure the eCall SOS LED is green (this is mandatory; a green LED indicates the embedded SIM is
localized to the US market).
 Cycle the ignition off and back on, up to seven times, while leaving the car in each state for 30s-60s each
time (e.g., on for 60 seconds, off for 60 seconds, & repeat).
 Attempt an MMI soft reset by pressing and holding the volume control knob for 10 seconds or until the light
around the knob turns off and the MMI “checking remote access rights” is seen in the MMI.
 Restore factory settings in the MMI under Home >> Settings >> System Maintenance >> Restore factory
settings. The key user pairing will be reset along with all other customer saved settings.
 The customer may need to remove the VIN from their account in the myAudi app and add it back in order
to complete key user pairing and the myAudi login in the MMI.
Additionally, if the vehicle had no LTE connectivity to the mobile network during the purchase, and 72 hours
have passed since the purchase (e.g., in an underground car park), the activation will expire and not be
retried by the Audi connect backend.
If the FOD purchase was performed more than 72 hours in the past, the activation must be manually pushed
to the car using Service Portlet via the Group Retail Portal (GRP). The Group Retail Portal is the future

of calendar year 2021.
Resending FoD activation using Service Portlet:
1.

To do this, the vehicle needs to be at a location with good GPS and LTE network signal.
