The new Q7 smartphone interface

**Mozart** · 24-11-2016,04:06 PM

Hi Andy,
I asked my local dealer to do some research regarding Smartphone Interface. For now I don't want to include third parties as I still have warranty

Regarding Wireless Charging I do have Audi Phone Box, that is why I was wondering why its not charging. I have original Samsung wireless charger so at least I have a proof that my phone has this feature working properly

Thanks,
Mozart

Good stuff, let us know what you hear back

I have the Samsung S6 Edge+ and it works fine for me, even with a case on.

So you don't need any additional accessories? All you need to do is to put your phone into Audi Phone Box and its charging, correct? I couldn't find any option for that in the MMI nor in the APB itself. So I guess this is another thing that Audi Service will have to take care...

Anyway, thank you Andy for the prompt reply!
cheers

Quick update, I will be on Thursday visiting my dealer, also for software update. Will see about this Smartphone Interface. I saw in another thread that I'm also missing Adaptive Cruise Control option in MMI, so I hope it will be also updated.
I will keep you posted.
cheers.

Good luck. Be interesting to hear what your dealer says about SI and whether it can be added to your car. Different country and all.

Unfortunately, I have other problems with my Q7 and lack of ASI seems to be minor one. Currently my Q7 is in Audi service where they're trying to fix all problems. They expect to fix all by tomorrow, which is very unlikely for me. Anyway, if they will get to things like phonebox doesn't work or missing ASI I will be very happy and will let you know. For now they could't explain how bottom bars of two left doors doesn't fit to the rest and why there is nothing in history about that

Sorry to hear this Mozart. What other issues have you been experiencing?

Well, first problem was with with bottom door bars (like this from your avatar's picture

). Ie bars from left side didn't match to the rest. It was like they were taken from not S-line model. But lately Audi replaced them for proper one. Also the same door creaked. Also the same door from the inside were not in the same line as dashboard. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the history, but this left door was changed obviously. The driver's seat is loose. You can feel it especially when accelerating or braking. Other that that Audi PhoneBox does not work at all. Right mirror when set, turn down while reverse is on, but sometimes does not return to its position. There is also strange behavior of front parking sensors, they can activate when nothing is closing. But this I have observed in another Q7, which seems that Q7 are not best in the world

. I noticed also some strong vibration just before car go to the stop mode and turn off. I don't know if this is related more with autohold or start&stop system, but I can't see this in Q7 that I got from service as a replacement car. Small things, but all together are really frustrating...
