Had my new GTI for a little over two weeks. Newbie to the forum.
2015 GTI Autobahn Nav Fender.
Day 1: Lightning MDI adapter from dealer didn't *surprise* work. Used 30 pin + lightning adapter and system usually works. Occasional issues where MDI 30 pin isn't recognized and have to disconnect/reconnect MDI several times at base before it recognizes the MDI again. I'd use Bluetooth if the sound quality of MDI vs bluetooth wasn't so noticeable.
Several times: Cold start where the radio, bluetooth, and MDI connections won't play music. Turn head unit off and on, no change. Adjust volume, no change. Turn car off and on, no change. When not playing music the instrument cluster screen in audio function is also blank. I can select stations from preset or tune in head unit for am and fm screens, but no sound. I've found that when switching from FM to AM bands repeatedly the unit will finally play music. Also had issues where the unit will play music, then cut the volume to zero where I have to turn the volume back up. I guess it's better than the "electrical gremlin" turning the volume to max.
Always: iPhone playlist doesn't shuffle even if phone is previously set to shuffle and head unit was previously shuffling prior to new start.
Several times: FM band defaults to 87.7 when car is started even if I was listening to a preset station or had phone (when it was working) playing through the MDI on prior run.
Anyone else have issues where the unit doesn't play any sound under any setting? Help pointing the dealership in the right direction to resolve? The other stuff, while annoying, I can live with.
