I have a 06 c6 4.2 v8 avant sline, I've done a few bits already - new wheels, rear silencer delete (sounds like a NASCAR now!) etc.
thought I'd try the Ami retrofit - mmi is upgraded, ami is in, but it won't work properly and shows a weird error that's left me confused.
if anyone's got any ideas I'd be really appreciate it!
the error message is:
- with no device plugged in - 'the screen says your device may not be connected or operating properly'
- with an iPhone 7 plugged in - the phone starts charging, but screen changes to say 'this device isn't not supported by the Audi music interface'
Here's what I've done so far:
- I upgraded my firmware from 1110 to 5570 using all three (OEM) cds.
- Bought and fitted a used Audi ami unit 4e0035785d - this replaced the glovebox cd changer, fitting in the same space.
- bought and tried a pair of genuine Audi music interface cables (one USB, and one FireWire). I tried the USB one via a non apple cable.
- ive rebooted the system a few times.
No other problems with the firmware or Bluetooth etc - calls and radio etc everything else works ok as far as I can tell.
any guesses or suggestions would be really handy

My guess would be it's the cable. There always used to be a specific Apple cable for AMI for MMI 2G with the old 30-pin Apple connector. I'm guessing you'll need to get hold of one of these and use a 30-pin to lightning adaptor to convert it for use with your iPhone 7. I think Audi make a cable for AMI 3G / 3G+ with a lightning connector, but I doubt this will work on your 2G setup. If I'm remembering correctly, the 2G cable had a black collar.
Cheers!
