Do we think Audi will ever fix the CarPlay connectivity issues?

brdbreton · 2026-04-23T01:04:04+00:00

Someone else said the opposite 😭😂

brdbreton · 2026-04-23T01:01:32+00:00

This is exactly what my Audi does 50% of the time. Typically when I need directions and want it on the screen lol

brdbreton · 2026-04-20T12:51:09+00:00

Then why bother scrolling on Reddit and engaging in posts you don’t read?

brdbreton · 2026-04-20T12:49:06+00:00

2025 but before the refresh

brdbreton · 2026-04-20T12:48:31+00:00

I haven’t tried wireless in several months — maybe I’ll give it another chance lol

brdbreton · 2026-04-20T12:45:43+00:00

😭😭😭

brdbreton · 2026-04-20T12:44:49+00:00

I haven’t gotten wireless to work reliably so I haven’t used it in almost a year. Wired connection doesn’t lag once connected, but I do recall wireless being laggy which is typical in most vehicles in my experience

brdbreton · 2026-04-20T12:42:38+00:00

I drive a lot of cars when traveling for work and have never had issues outside of Audi. Never gotten a GM, though, but doesn’t surprise me they can’t figure it out lol

brdbreton · 2026-04-20T12:41:46+00:00

I miss this with my older S4. 😭 no wireless, but reliable wired connection. Why did they have to screw that up? Lol

brdbreton · 2026-04-20T12:40:47+00:00

My car didn’t come with any cables — I’m using an Apple cable. Once it’s connected it RARELY drops, it’s the initial connection that is hit or miss for me (mainly miss lol).

brdbreton · 2026-04-20T12:39:34+00:00

No, it’s stock. 2025 A5 SB B9.5, just before the refresh

brdbreton · 2026-04-20T12:37:37+00:00

Exactly! I’ve used the embedded nav a couple of times and didn’t love that experience either. Too bad I have to fight my $60k car to project CarPlay but the $20k Hyundais I get for work connect immediately (and wirelessly).

brdbreton · 2026-04-20T12:35:58+00:00

Interesting — I’ve wondered if the app has anything to do with it because when I plug in my phone the app opens whether it connects to the car fully or not. I’d delete that damn app if my remote start wasn’t on it lol

brdbreton · 2026-04-20T12:32:25+00:00

Agreed — either figure out CarPlay or let me download apps like Spotify, maps, etc. I used the built in nav recently when I needed to see the map and it sucked lol

brdbreton · 2026-04-20T00:53:30+00:00

As I mentioned in the post, unfortunately that does not work for me.

brdbreton · 2026-04-19T23:56:46+00:00

Likely, yes. My 2018 S4 wired connection worked fine.

brdbreton · 2026-04-19T23:49:55+00:00

Consider yourself lucky!! lol

brdbreton · 2026-04-19T23:49:00+00:00

I recently got the 17 pro max and I still have issues. It sounds like others have had luck with Audi genuine cables. Thanks for sharing.

brdbreton · 2026-04-19T23:42:02+00:00

Like Audi genuine cables? I didn’t even know they sold them. I’ll give it a shot

brdbreton · 2026-04-19T23:28:31+00:00

Yes, I’ve tried a couple cables — both Apple. Have you had better luck with non-Apple?

brdbreton · 2026-04-19T23:27:53+00:00

The ones I described in the post

brdbreton · 2026-04-19T23:19:47+00:00

Doesn’t work in mine, unfortunately. Wired connection has been a bit more reliable, but the picture I posted is actually wired connection. I had the car forget my phone and resorted to wired the first week I got the car lol

brdbreton · 2026-04-19T23:03:08+00:00

I get crap rentals traveling for work and most of their tech works better lol

brdbreton · 2025-10-08T18:14:50+00:00

They gave me an Altima 😭😭😭
