    OK, so I have a 2016 A4 (B9 with tech pack) and am having some bluetooth issues with my new phone.

    I previously had an iPhone and the main issues I'm having, compared to the iPhone, are these:-


    1) Whichever podcast app I use (Pocketcast at the moment), I cannot access the podcast directory through the Audi system, meaning I have to pickup the phone and select a different podcast if I want one, rather than using the selector wheel in the car.
    2) The bluetooth audio often skips/mutes for half a second, a bit like a CD skipping.
    3) When i make a call via the car it takes about 30 seconds before the phone even starts ringing, this seems odd.

    These seem like very minor niggles but I do a ton of miles and listen to loads of podcasts and music via my bluetooth and I;d love to be able to control it without having to use Android Auto, I want to use my nice Audi system...I guess the answer is to get another iPhone which I know works but I really wanted the features of the phone I now have.


    If anyone can help with any of those points I'd appreciate it. Having had an iPhone for so many years I don't know if these are android quirks or if the Audi doesn't play nice with Android, or if it's a Samsung issue.


    Thanks all.

    Hi, I have the same experience and wonder if it's phone or OS specific? I'm on Pixel do 2 running 8.1.0 . I also lose connection completely ,though not every time, a notification or call comes through. I can't replicate it. I've tried several different podcast apps and get same generally.

    I'm going to try this tomorrow, but have you tried running the usb port to the phone to see if that cures it? If it does, it's probably a Bluetooth issue, if not then back to square 1.

    How sure are you Apple works fine out of interest?
