Any one know which refrigerant was used in the 2015 A3 TDi 8V ? Having a re-gas at the weekend . I believe, as the car is pre 2017 that it would be R134a but no definitive answer from a Google search.

I think we should all sign a petition to get thier attention and sort out this problem!

Hello peeps, We have all lost our favourite DAB channels since the end of March as they have all switched to the new DAB+. Audi currently have no solutions to this problem. The only solution at the moment is to play the required radio station app on your phone through your media player via Bluetooth. Maybe if enough of us complain directly to Audi UK they may search for a solution?

Hi mate keen on these if still available?

I feel for those that have paid out for diagnostics. It would be interesting to learn how many have!

VW Audi will have to come up with a fix - these cars are not old, are expensive and it appears 1,000’s are affected. It looks like they’ve stopped replying to posts on X so must be inundated.

Audi must be aware - lots of replies on X

Unfortunately, there is no fix at present and there is no confirmation that there will be. It is also likely that we will also lose the remaining DAB station once they switch to DAB+. BBC are eventually going to switch to DAB+. All we can do for now is manage with FM or BT to your phone and open a dab radio station app or Spotify etc

Thanks - this at explains what has happened. How do we get the update or codec ? Can we download?

Hi All, My 2015 A6 avant and my partner 2016 A1 avant have the same issue. I have done a bit more research into this and have even updated the firmware on both cars to RMC_EU_P16342 from RMC_EU_14321 on the A6 and RMC_EU_P1432B on the A1. Both units are also Hard Ware H61 My brother has a 2013 A6 avant and he has no issues at all, this does appear to be Audi vehicles that have the RMC MMI and I suspect it is going to be HW H61 specifically affected. I haven't checked my brothers yet, but his RMC MMI is definitely an older HW version than H61. I have been emailing a German company KUFATEC and they have responded back to me that their information held is that all RMC units have DAB+. I suspect that this is going to be a codec software issue needed to enable our units to encode the MPEG-4 High Efficiency AAC v2 profile (HE-AAC v2) The A1 and A6 MMI manual both state that DAB+ is supported.

Wanted to save myself £300, hence the request

Thanks, I did find a website last night that says you need to update firmware as well, not too sure how true that is but it looked a right nightmare 😞 Dealership is probably best way

Il take it to a mechanic and get him to stick the computer on it see what he says. Thanks for commenting

I’d be emailing up the chain to senior management asking for me £150 back. That checkup they have completely misdiagnosed. They’re meant to be professionals and at the moment the customers know more. It’s comical.

If you don’t have the drivers side storage compartment then that can be retrofitted like mentioned above, which i did on my B9. I just got an aftermarket sunglasses holder for mine though as it’s just the best solution.

im also experiencing same issue mines is an audi A1 sline year 2017, all fm channels seem to be working just fine but my dab channels randomly stopped working about week and a half ago, i booked in with my audi dealership for a diagnostics check which cost £150 plus vat and they have came back saying the dab antenna is on the back windscreen left pannel disguised as 2 small copper wires and as i have my window tinted this and general wear and tear over the years has caused this problem i would need to replace my back windsceen and was told roughly it would cost between 700-800 pounds if i wanted them to deal with it, i explained to them my car came with the back windscreen tinted and iv had the car for well over a year now and never had this problem until lastweek not to mention loads of other audi owners are experiencing the same problem all round about the same time so dont think this is what caused the issue but audi was certain in what they were saying, Then after reading posts on different forums etc its clearly nothing to do with having the back windscreen tinted or even general wear and tear as it is a widespread problem with audi owners at the moment so doing some further research on my own i found out the problem lies with dab changing to dab+ so audi was clearly wrong and just looking to gain £700-800 out of me ontop of the £150 +vat for a diagnostics check. Thankfully i refused for them to carry out replacing the back windscreen and saved myself being out of pocket as this would not have solves the problem regardless

Seeing the recent postings has brought all the horrible memories back. I hope you all get it sorted and covered by audi. as soon as my A8 was sorted, I sold it immediately and got an i7 and never looked back. it’s not even the aggro of getting it all sorted for free but the number of weeks you spend without the car. I never want to go through that experience with a premium car ever again.

You can get the gearbox ECU remapped too. But if damage is done you might have to change megatronics unit

Think it has to be done e at the main dealer.

Keep us posted on how you get on

My Q3 2016 stopped picking up SDL DAB stations on Saturday 30th March, glad I found this thread, very frustrating!

Hi! I am also concerned that my Audi A2 1.4 BBY has low idle speed. Were you able to adjust it programmatically?

My Audi Q3 2018 has the same issue - tried everthing- can't get LBC and few other stations. Volume control faded out whe trying to up volume. Other stations are ok ! Has anyone else had any luck with a solution? any help greatly appreciated. Thanks - Audi Q3 2018.
