    Hi all, looking for some guidance with my A6 C8 with a niggle that is starting to grate! Whenever I start my car the MMI never plays the radio, even when it was the last source when the car was turned off. I soon realised this behaviour only occurs when my iphone is with me as that automatically connects. Without my iphone the radio plays correctly when the car starts up. So it would seem the connection to Car play stops the radio from firing up. I then have to manually select the radio station and all is well and the radio play.

    Does anybody else have this? Is there a way of running car play that doesn't impact the initialisation of the radio?

    Is the car going to CarPlay when you start up or is it starting in normal MMI mode? If it is starting in MMI more then it may be that the car is actually selecting bluetooth streaming from the phone and you may have that stream on pause if you have just been listening to something on the phone before you got in the car, perhaps on bluetooth headphones.The car then thinks you want to carry on listening to that stream in the car. They actually pausing the media play on the phone before you get in the car and see if that solves the issue

    Good suggestion, but I haven't been playing anything via bluetooth.

    The car starts up in normal MMI mode, on the Home screen.

    That rules out CarPlay. Try turning off Bluetooth Streaming in the MMI settings and see if that solves it. If it does then maybe worth deleting the phone from the. car and the car from the phone and then re-pairing then to see if that resolves the issue

    If I turn off Bluetooth on the iPhone and start the engine, the Radio then plays correctly :-) Unfortunately Car Play then doesn't connect as it needs Bluetooth to work. The minute I turn on Bluetooth and establish a connection to the car via Car Play, the radio turns off and the GUI interface switches to Car Play, which I guess is fair enough.

    So it seems the Car Play connection is affecting the Radio from playing on startup when it is connected.

    I think I've sorted it. It turned out to be caused by the Audi app on the iPhone. It noticed by luck that it was launching whenever I started my car and was taking control of things! I disabled the MMI connection over Wifi within the Vehicle Settings of the Audi app and that allows the Radio to play normally when I started it. I also disabled audio play within the Bluetooth settings of the MMI, but I don't think that changed anything as when I turned it back on again the Radio continued to play ok.
