First frost of the winter today (which may well be relevant).
After start up routine, aircon defrosting windscreen etc, the radio wouldn't work. In fact the whole MMI system was locked up, ie couldn't swap to NAV or MEDIA or PHONE etc - all of the controls around the gear lever were inoperative, including the four imediately around the gear lever.
Switched off and restarted - no difference.
Drove to destination about 10 minutes away - still the same. Got out and locked the car and the MMI screen stayed on!
Went back to car about 1 hour later before playing golf! and all was restored to normal - very odd.
It almost seems as if some part of the system was not sensing the status of the car - maybe a relay wasn't opening or closing properly due to the icy conditions.
Has anyone else had / heard of this before? I don't want to take it to Audi as the condition has now cleared, and they may now be able to trace the fault. Would VAGCOM be able to report on this fault?
Thanks for reading..
