    Weird radio and seat warmers question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So I just took ownership of a 2011, however if I have the FM radio set to presets the station information doesnt update, I have tried all settings. If I back out and just am at the full FM list they work. Also some HD Radio stations dont pop up with radio info even though it's there because if I go into tuning and then text and it shows the name of the song and such. This is a CPO but that isnt covering the Radio. If it's broken or needs a software update I will need to pay for it out of pocket.

    Second question is I have poor FM reception in mine which sounds common, however what's not common is what the fix is? I havent taken the back off to look at the amp to see if it's cracked or whatever. If I need to buy a new antenna amp which model and revision should I get? By poor I mean it will cut out randomly on stations, where as my old a4 2009 was rock solid.

    Also, wife says the seat warmer is not as warm as it was on my 2009, brought it into dealer and they checked it, both seats are working correctly, then they said that Audi changed the seat warmers so people couldn't burn themselves. Well my wife like to hear her ass sizzle on the seat, is there any way to hack it to send more juice to get hotter?

    Sounds like you just need to do the 3G conversion.

    I think your PM earlier might have been some sort of subliminal message that I need to do that as well!

    The preset list doesn't allow for additional detail to be displayed. I have that issue on my car as well. Slightly annoying if I want to know the name of the song I'm listening to.

    You didn't say so I wasn't sure. Do you have B&O and did the car throw any codes?

    I did the 3G conversion and I haven't had one issue. The sound is amazing and couldn't be happier. (I'm w/o B&O)

    Yeah I have the B&O system, no codes so far. The issue sure seems like a software issue, does anyone know what the current software version is for 2011 MMI 3G?

    I'll message you on a way to save a lot of money. We have had people try and stomp it out for the upgrade and getting it cheaper in the forums.
