Just to remind you all. All of us have the exact same MMI That being RMC HW H61. That MMI was only installed in A1, A6 and Q3 between 2015 and 2018. It angers me when I read that Audi are telling us that the vehicle is not the issue and it is Bauer media. Let's not forget that Global also switched, so it isn't just Bauer media. DAB+ is DAB+. The issue isn't Bauer or global using the wrong DAB+. The issue is 100% Audi. They have either installed and programmed the chipset incorrectly or they have missed something when it came to adding the mpeg4 audio codec to allow is to listen to the DAB+ frequency. Audi also have it documented that out RMC MMI is DAB+. There are earlier models of our vehicles that have RMC MMI installed but that HW version is earlier than HW61. HW61 should be recalled and corrected to match how it was marketed, that it is DAB+

Well said Paul. Would you mind also posting this in the Reddit post linked above? Trying to maximise coverage here so Audi inevitably have to respond.

I own a 2016 A6 C7 and a few weeks ago the DAB stopped working on all the local as well as national channels. I was about to book it into my local dealership but decided to google the question to see if there were any forums highlighting the same issue. The rest as they say is history. I’m glad I’m not alone as it was unexpected and my DAB has worked perfectly until now. Too much of a coincidence for it to be an isolated issue. I’m glad I didn’t waste £150 pounds for them to tell me something I already know. Let’s hope Audi do have a fix and soon

Welcome Gill, Just enter your registration number into say Parts in Motion’s website and that should hopefully give you an answer, based on cost and/oravailability. Many DMFs have become main dealer only parts at silly prices.

Same issue, our A1 went in for a service and MOT - they must have updated the version then. So far we’ve figured out it’s just the national DAB stations, local ones work fine. Only commenting to try and give a bit more proof that it’s Audi at fault! Thank goodness for this thread, we were running out of ideas! Same software version as previously mentioned: P16342

I think if we choose one of the posts and all upvote it and comment? can you link it here please.

I’m emailing Matt

Hi Kenmor, thanks for that, yes I think I'm going to leave it stock, more than quick enough as it is & maintain the reliability Audi designed it with Thanks for the reply

Hi steve I had a racechip plug and play tuning box on a bmw 440i and when I changed car to my rs5 I got one almost free reprogram (p&p) I have now had it fitted for a couple of weeks now and the figures quoted are +60bhp plus lower fuel consumption but the car is so rapid that the 0.2/0.3 sec quicker to 62mph is almost impossible to tell,the one thing I can tell you is my insurance has risen £350/year, what Im saying for me personally I dont think I would bother if I had to go and buy a new one at £700+.

Hi Sandra welcome to the chat please don’t pay for any diagnostic as it appears to be a transmission issue with national DAB stations moving over to DAB+ which 2014 - 2018 Audis don’t appear to be able to connect to The change happened at the end of March
