A6 MMI 3G radio/TP/TMC problem

[a6audiman]

I have a6 -Sline 3.0 Quattro with same HD nav.
There was a MMI update applied to my car last month which took 2.5hours which seemed to help however radio still does not always detect and change radio station whilst changing areas. I generally end up manually tuning which is not a solution for a £2700 OPTION

Yep - sounds like the same issue. Do you get the TMC dropping out too (and no TP bulletins)?

As Mark suggests in the previous post, it must surely be affecting more vehicles than we are seeing reported on here (but perhaps drivers don't travel far enough regularly enough to notice). Yours is the sixth UK car I know of reporting this problem.

I have now got grudging approval from Mrs F to purchase VCDS with a USB Hex/CAN cable, so I hope to begin some monotoring as A8 Tech detailed earlier in the thread once I have it up and running.

Here is another facet of the problem I have observed. I wanted to switch to Radio 2, but when I looked at the list of visible stations, it wasn't there. I went to the Tuning screen, and tuned in to Radio 2 manually, then back to the station list and lo and behold it was there (as expected - I was now listening to it). I then switched to a different channel, and a couple of seconds later, Radio 2 disappeared from the list once again. I tried this process a couple of times, and it was completely reproducible, so I videoed it with my phone. For your delight I have included the video below!
