Hello there ,  I am new to the forum. I just wanted to check and ask for some help. I have connected my phone to my new Q6 and it has registered my phone so I can play music and make calls. However I can’t get apple car play to stay on, it is sometimes linked and more often than not it won’t connect. Has anyone else had similar issues? Thanks

Yes the car has a mind of it's own, your linked and then your not then when you do not want to be linked you get linked.

Have this issue with Spotify, link and listen, then go back to the radio and want to stay on the radio, get out of the car, get back in later and instead of the radio it goes back to Spotify.

You end up having to change 2 to 3 times before the car rembers.

Have the same issue with seat memory also.

I do not have the Q6 but I expect some of my ICE and other feature observations may be related through software bugs.  

The car memory function where the easy exit / access works sometimes but not all the time. Seat does not return to driving position. 

Road sign (speed limit) feature needs deleting 

Blind spot monitoring picks up on hedges and other random road side features.

LED accent lights around dash - one segment has developed individuality and lights up in a different colour. 

Digital Key will not sync. 

Rear active diff. errors often. 

Gear changes can be flaky at times 

Physical Braking with regen active can be variable. 

I have my Audi Partner working on it but have also raised it with Audi UK Customer Relations. 

I can accept that new products will have undocumented features but these need identifying and eliminating - Something I have been assured is happening but if we do not make a fuss, I wonder what urgency is being applied by the relevant teams. 

 

Question: Do you have the third screen in the dash? If so, how warm does yours get in both standby and active states? Mine makes for a good convection heater. 

The Q6 screen does not get hot.

Thanks for the reply’s , and I do think it’s an issue as it happened this morning again where it didn’t recognise my car play and when i scroll and toggle the car play tag it just jumps back. I held down the volume control for 30’seconds to perform a reset but didn’t fix it.

The whole car is an issue, had mine for a year now and so many faults with the car, it's a mess, it's has to be the worst Audi I have every owned and had a few.

Would not recommend anyone to buy a Q6 or A4 Electric.

A simple look on dealers websites shows there a lot of these cars only a few months old with very little millage, are these customer rejected cars, I expect a few are.

Over on another Q6 forum that I’m on a couple of the SQ6 owners complaining that the passenger screen gees too hot to touch
