    B&O crackling noises

    I totally agree, it's not *the* solution, but it is a solution (or a bodge, depending on your viewpoint) I'm not sure whether the resampling is going to leave us worse off than before. If we make the assumption that the MMI was already doing that (badly) in order to send it over MOST, then the...

    B&O crackling noises

    Just been out and done some more testing, and both MP3 and AAC (m4a) have the exact same issue, and are also 'fixed' if they are 48kHz

    B&O crackling noises

    Interesting, so is that kind of what we're hearing with the crackling noise? When it's being upsampled from 44.1k to 48k, is the 3.9k gap just being left blank, which has the effect of sounding like a crackle/click type noise? Or is far too simplistic?

    B&O crackling noises

    I've created mp3 and aac files which I'll test at lunchtime and report back I'm not sure if there's any loss from going 44.1->48k. As it's not a multiple, I'm wondering what goes in the extra space? Will be be a duplicate of some data, or will it just be left blank and ignored? It's way beyond...

    B&O crackling noises

    Good point! I'll try and check with AAC and MP3 when I get a chance. Maybe they don't suffer the same issue. I suspect that might be wishful thinking though!

    B&O crackling noises

    I had a call from the dealer today, who had got a message back from Germany (via Audi UK). They said the issue is with files that have a sample rate of 44.1kHz, and the 'solution' is to use a sample rate of 48kHz instead. As a CD is 44.1kHz, that's also what all my FLAC files are ripped at. So I...

    B&O crackling noises

    Thanks veeeight (even if you have kinda lost me with audio dynamic compression and coding compression!). I don't suppose anybody has wiring diagrams about how the various components are connected? I'm guessing from what veeeight says that the main computer (5F) is connected to the B&O amp by...

    B&O crackling noises

    I'm not doubting you, but would you expect to see the issue with my 750Hz constant tone if it was a compression/decompression issue? I know compression will usually remove the top and bottom end of the frequency range, but in my mind a given frequency should be able to be accurately...

    B&O crackling noises

    All very poor! If they want the help I'm willing to do whatever I can to work through this issue so they can resolve it, but from what people say it sounds like they're just not interested. For me it's not so much about the money... I just want it fixed. Although by no means the only factor...

    B&O crackling noises

    Interesting! Although I'm not sure that'd actually be a solution these days, as it's barely possible to control a new iPod (lightning connector) from the MMI anymore! They'd need to somehow source an old model. Speaking of the issue of controlling using the lightning AMI cable, I hoped the new...

    B&O crackling noises

    That's not really a valid solution for me. All my music is ripped as FLAC and put on a 128GB SDXC card (with another one soon to follow - FLAC files take up a lot of space!!). As an ipod wont play these, I'd be forced to convert them to something the ipod could play. Not impossible, just...

    B&O crackling noises

    So I took my car in today to get the software update. The new version is MHIG_EU_AU_K1539 (any idea what the letter/numbers mean? K seems like a backwards step from P) Anyway, the bad news is that it's made no difference, and the issue is still there :-( Dealer says they'll send the case back...

    Current software version is: MHIG_EU_AU_P1048 I'll let you know what the new version is in a few weeks

    B&O crackling noises

    Quick update on my car: it was in at the dealers last week to have this looked at, and they decided it needed a software update. Unfortunately the disk is on back order in Germany (whatever that means?), so will be 2-3 weeks. I'm not sure whether this is the same update mentioned in camoto's...

    B&O crackling noises

    Bit more of an update from me: Firstly I borrowed a USB AMI cable from a friend, and the problem remained using both the WAV file on a USB memory stick, and also with my Galaxy S3 plugged into it (iPhone 5S didn't work). Next on the list was to start generating tones and trying to narrow down...

    B&O crackling noises

    I believe I've also got this issue and have been doing some research over the past couple of days. Using a WAV file as the starting point, I've put it on various different sources and concluded the following so far: Bluetooth (from both an iPhone 5S and Galaxy S3): problem exists SD card...

    Topping up oil S3

    When is the oil level supposed to be checked? I've been doing it on a cold (non-running) engine. Is that wrong?

    Map Updates

    Does anybody know what the latest version of maps available online is? I can find the version number in the MMI, but I can't find anything to compare it with on MyAudi

    Audi Connect SIM card choices.

    I ordered mine on the website and it came with nothing on it. I then topped up £10, which gives you 150MB of data (you get this free each time you top up I think, but it only lasts a month), plus the £10 credit will buy 1GB of data. I've just had a look and I've still got 133MB of the free...

    Audi Connect SIM card choices.

    I assume so. It seems everything lasts 3 years, as that's the length of the map updates too
