a8 tech completely forgot about eng.mode even though played in that menu, when doing FW update, but duly noted for next time...
I wish every garage had someone as knowledgable as YOU, read your posts before
but reading you in action is SUPER...

sorry about double post just seen your flicker photos call me para but get rid of your vin @ top of data sticker wauzz....
car looks good ... ROCK ON VWAF we'll get your motor sorted...

Cheers, will do. Just ordered the disks from eBay so will update when I do the update

If check AMI sticky PDF guide in there, easy to do with trickle charger hooked to points in engine bay, run disc 2 twice... anyway back to my cleaning...

Phone definitely can't see the car

Had it as close as possible to the MMI screen and nothing. Tried a few times, set everything back to default but nothing.

No, not near the MMI screen. The BT antenna is down on the side, near your knee.
It may sound stupid but I'm on my 2nd A6 and, on both, to pair the phone and MMI I had to hold the phone close to my knee at the centre console for the phone and MMI to find each other. After that your phone connects over BT if you have your phone further away, eg. in your jacket pocket.
It may well be something else but I'd try it one more time with a phone close to your knee for initial pairing.

I've tried loads of phones all over the car but I really don't think it's working!

turn off the phone turn off the car

turn the phone on then the bluetooth on

turn the ignition on and search again

if no joy you need to run the bt disc clean and hope it flashes as the phone control unit has locked up

The BT disc a8 tech is talking about is the second disc on mmi update 5570 set

Antenna for BT is under carpet in module, red box in photo, green box fibre link, blue box harness, yellow box in second photo id label of my module...

read this stuff may help as well https://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/s...281#post722281 seems iPhone is flaky without correct MMI FW and unstable/software on iPhone...

the chap fieldy in that thread has MMI FW 2120 (post 19 link photo) like I had and was experiencing BT issues with mine (HTC phone)...
but once done MMI FW 5570 update all good

I've tried loads of phones all over the car but I really don't think it's working!

when you saying you tried other phones are they non iphone??

Have you got BOSE??? from the look of the AMP in your MMI rack photo in boot?? as depending on FW there where sound focus/setting memory issues but not drop out from some early FW..

When you do MMI FW update its going cause lots of errors logs in MMI,CAN gateway... so best way forward is IMO get scan & log before update so you know what faults may have been logged, get MOST loop test like a8 Tech advise (in post 28) on car, I would feel uncomfortable to do FW update with freaky loop as you could furbar modules, then do/get done MMI update, then clear error logs and if things persist with BT/MMI audio dropout then you need to scan to pin point fault...

You may want to consider buying VCDS/VAGcom, IMO very essential now with modern VAG car, if you think crikey thats £250-270 for one you can recoup money so quick...

are you someone which would do oil change at home? maybe retro fit stuff? play with coding?? to get other features depending on year/modules in car

again (link in post 9) some one close to you may not have seen this thread post for scan in VCDS section...
