Is there a simple to follow guide anywhere that shows how to set up the latest MMI news and weather features?

Hello everyone.

I am new to the world of Audi, picking up a new RS5 Coupe a couple of weeks ago. The handover from the salesman was fairly perfunctory; he connected my iPhone to the car and showed how to use some of the MMI features such as navigation but he didn't demonstrate some of the other features such as the News, Calendar and Weather apps.

Can anyone explain how to set these features up? I might not use them but I hate to think there is something on the car that I can't use because I don't know how to. I've looked in the owners manual but I don't find it very useful.

The dealership where I bought the car is some distance away so I can’t go back there to have them set it up. 
 

I have looked online for a guide to set everything up - the dealer set somethings up but I think there must have been a stage or two they missed for some of the apps not to work - but I haven’t found anything yet on YouTube. I was hoping someone on here could point me in the right direction.

I have tried all of the apps including the weather, news and calendar ones, and several of them won’t launch. 
However, I use Apple CarPlay most of the time so I’m not going to worry about the Audi apps which don’t work - life is too short!!

I think thru time you will get it all

to work just a case of getting familiar with it

I am familiar with it by now and there is definitely something wrong - some of the apps simply won’t launch whatever I try. However, Apple CarPlay works perfectly so I’m going to use that instead - it’s not worth taking the car to an Audi dealer to have it checked.

Don't forget your car is under warranty,even if you phoned audi they would advise
