Needless to say the Passive cable didn't work. Seems I'm being forced to play via Bluetooth Audio! Does anyone know how to feed the MMI with analogue audio?

@Chris the tester Hi Chris, that is interesting and a significant increase in last couple of months. Any thoughts as to why?

@JMKC82 Thanks again Joe IMHO there's a lot of hog-wash out there concerning home charging particularly those, like me, not wanting to be sucked in to buying a home charger. First time I've heard that one though "if you constantly use the 3 pin plug. It 'stresses' the internal wiring, as they are designed for intermittent use. Basically the wiring heats up and degrades. Because you are putting a lot of load (13amps) continuously for 4-6 hours per day, every day...... " Hog-wash again I'd say. Using a purposely designed and equipped external 3-pin socket, wired with appropriate cable direct to the fuse box won't stress your home wiring. Now if you adopt a cheap extension lead then I agree you're going to have problems especially if, where you plug it in, the mains socket is on a ring main - that might be a different matter. Most if not all the concerns out there relate to charging EV's though NOT PHEV's. My current charging regime so far is that I'm charging no more than twice a week for about 4 hours a time. But a useful topic of discussion Joe and thank you for your input.

@JMKC82 Thanks again Joe - that explains that very well. Not done a longish journey other than the one coming home after collecting the vehicle. Since then just tootling around. Yesterday before, for some reason unknown to me, I was locked out of my myAudi app, my capacity got to 30.7 - so perhaps just tootling around is starting to increase the battery capacity. What decided you on the home charger?, they seem quite expensive. At the end of this month my current fixed term energy contract with Octopus draws to an end and will switch to their variable tariff which will incorporate "Intelligent Octopus" so charging will cost me next to nowt. 4 to 6 hours Granny charging doesn't require one of these, so curious

@JMKC82Thanks for replying Joe 😁 Compared to Analogue via std 3.5mm jack plug leads or Digital via USB no it definately is not. About 2 thirds the quality of a CD at best if you adopt, or can adopt a quality Codec - I play Hi-Res lossless music and even in my previous Q5 I can most definately hear the difference. But now I have an extremely quiet PHEV I can't believe Audi are forcing us to connect via Bluetooth. I shall see if the ordered Passive cable works and take things from there

May I politely Bump this please

Hi once more - the second of my two posts. As stated in the title there's no jack plug socket. I have been used to the older MMI during past 7 years and this new touch-screen digital one whilst looking very promising takes a bit of getting used to, particularly the lack of the former "control-knob". I am a HiFi enthusiast and always play my music at the highest resolution possible. Previously I deployed my current Samsung S21 Android phone using an external DAC which plugs into my phone and from which a std 3.5mm jack plug to jack plug lead was deployed. After trying out a USB c to female 3.mm jack socket lead the MMI recognises the DAC in the USB c plug (seems 99% of this type of connector cable are fitted with a DAC) but not my external one. The external DAC is an S3 HIDIZS Pro Ultra Portable Hi-Res Dongle and has worked fabulously. I have purchased a non-DAC enabled USB c to female 3.mm jack socket lead, which is called a "Passive" connector. Cheap as chips but is passive so that only the Analogue Sound signals pass through it, not the Digital ones. This is what I need but my question to the forum is, can the MMI accept Analogue Sound signals via one of its USB c sockets? Thanks in advance 4.8 (17 Reviews)

Hi guys - I'm a new member but on my fifth Audi and family owns them too. Just come from 2 Q5's over past 7 years and bought the above (year 2021) a few weeks ago - so far absolutely delighted. This is the first of 2 posts and as this title suggests I am confused with what's quoted by Audi and what I'm getting in the real world. I've researched quite extensively but have a question please. Audi suggest up to 40 miles but I'm only getting 28 miles. At the moment I'm Granny charging here at home via the std 3-pin mains plug cable. It takes about 4 hours to get to 100% capacity from about 5 miles capacity - no complaints there. However when I got the car it had been on an external Charger of some kind at the Audi Dealership and it had about 33/35 miles capacity when I drove it home. I'm not a heavy footed driver and always keep to speed limits. I also know mileage capacity depends a lot on weather as well but this hasn't really changed up north a lot recently - quite warm (in the 20's) but is the capacity also influenced by the type of charging that is deployed? I haven't yet charged through an external charger as yet but will be doing when I go on a long trip towards the end of this month. I'd be grateful for an answer on this please - thanks in advance
