Picked my A6 up [emoji16]

[Durham4416]

I posted a couple of weeks ago that I’d found an A6 Avant and I’ve finally picked it up today, couple of questions.

Can I code the mirrors to fold when I lock the car?
Can I code the boot to close off the key?
If so, anyone with VCDS near Leeds or Middlesbrough?

Finally, haven’t figured out how to connect my iPhone via Bluetooth for music, I’m having to use the lead, have I read somewhere I need to switch Bluetooth off for making calls to allow music to be played, if so, how do I do this?

Here’s a pic after driving it 100 miles back from Hull Audi this evening [emoji16]

Well done. I think you can code the mirrors but not sure. Do you have , tech pack, if so it should work. Do not know about the boot. See you have found some badges!!!! Not sure about the phone, I use an iPod for music. Enjoy...

[Durham4416]

The garage fitted the badges for free as I preferred them.
It doesn’t have tech pack unfortunately, I need to find a coder!

There was a fix/software update for later facelift cars that let you fold mirrors when you lock. Cars with tech packs didn’t have this problem.
Looks in the sticky. I posted the remote boot closing code for the facelift.
For Bluetooth audio you need to cycle through the devices till you find the Bluetooth audio. If it’s connecred by cable it will always choose cable over Bluetooth as that’s better quality.

Is it a software update the dealer would carry out?

Loving the car but the Bluetooth system is annoying me a little, it doesn’t seem to automatically connect when I get back in the car. I’m having to go into bonded Bluetooth devices and selecting my phone for audio player and hands free each time!

Another little thing, the long term memory is fine and is set from when I collected the car yesterday, I reset the short term memory when I filled the tank last night, while I’ve been at work today it’s rest itself and only logged the journey home. I like to see how many miles I’m on for the tank? Can this be changed, can’t see anything in the settings.

There is a problem somewhere, as you can have four BT device which can be stored in the MMI memory. I suggest to delete all BT devices, and try to pair only one device first.

If I remember well, then you will always have this information on the top right on the DIS. If not, then you can see this estimated remaining mileage on the top left side of the DIS :)

About the folding mirrors: As A6s mentioned, it was a common problem earlier that this feature was missed from the F/L models for the first time. It took months for Audi to allow the users to activate the folding mirrors from the MMI. So first, check the MMI settings (if I remember well, somewhere in the central locking session), and set it to "Allow" if it's not allowed currently. If this is the issue, and you miss this menu item, then you have to upgrade the MMI version first.

Nice motor.

For the mirrors to fold I think that you need to have the icon below the mirror adjustment switch - you have heater at top, adjust right, adjust left and then an icon at the 6pm position that you turn to fold the mirrors inside the car. If you aint got that, I dont think you can fold them off the key as the mirrors will be missing the motors to do so.

[Durham4416]

Thank you. I’ll play around with the Bluetooth and see how it goes.

I can see the estimation of miles remaining but I would like to see how many miles I have covered on a full tank.

I do have the folding mirrors but I have to do it manually, I’ve looked in the MMI settings and can’t see an option described above or other. Will Audi update the MMI?

Thank you again.

The fix for the mirrors was a dealer software update for the mmi. There’s a massive thread about it here somewhere.

There’s like a 2 or 3 different trip meters on the car. You can scroll through them and reset it by the button under the MMI screen. The current trip one always resets after car not moved for 2 hours or so. There’s another one I used to use to measure how far a tank gets me.

For the Bluetooth I would reset all to factory settings and re-sync your phone to it. Delete it from the phone as well so it’s all fresh. Normally that fixes all Bluetooth issues.

Excellent thank you.

I can only see 2 trips, short term and long term memory. Going to read the manuals when I get 5 minutes.

Had you got the colour dis or black and white?

[Durham4416]

Black and white, no tech pack

That number above 6003m is the trip meter I use for seeing how much a tank gives me on my old a6.
It shows 3 little heads to show rear passengers seatbelt then disappears after a minute or so then shows trip. Resets with the button below mmi screen.

[Durham4416]

Great thanks. Just reading through an old post regarding the software update.

I just reset the Long term memory after every 2nd tank to give a more balanced view of fuel consumption and reset the mileage trip after every fill to see the number of miles covered by that fill

[Wombatwilson]

Or if on Android use fuel log app.

Good luck with trying to get your local dealer (Teesside) to do an update I asked when mine went in for its first service but no joy, will try again when its due back in, I might need to apply a little more pressure.

[Durham4416]

It’s booked in at Teeside on Tuesday morning for a 2hr while you wait appointment. I’ll let you know how I get on. I tried to explain it was just an update but they have no interest when you say you’ve seen it on a forum. She said parts may need to be ordered but I said they work, it’s just the option isn’t there to fold them and also the Bluetooth is a bit annoying.

I took it in to Teeside Audi for a while you wait appointment this week, sorted the mirrors and updated the MMI. No problems [emoji106]

Great job.
So your mirrors now fold when you switch off the engine. OH and how is your sat nav mine is very slow telling me to turn as I have already completed the manoeuvre, I wonder if an update of MMI would solve this.

[Durham4416]

The mirrors fold automatically when the car is locked. They then unlock when you start the engine.
The MMI definitely seems better since the update.

That's good news glad it's working well. I must get my car booked in for the same treatment.

Turned that off on mine. The angle the mirrors fold encourages water to pool in them. I fold them manually if I need to.
