Hi folks!

New to the forum here, so go easy on me!

Car is a 2012 A4 2.0 with the Non MMI Audi Symphony stereo setup and an AMI port in the glove box.

The car came with an iPod cable with the old 30 pin Apple connector. I slapped a 30 Pin to Lightening adapter on it, plugged in my iPhone and it worked, but the system kept hitting play. For example, I would hit mute/pause on the steering wheel and the iPhone would be silent, but you could see it going Pause/Play/Pause/Play/Pause/Play/Etc. Switching out of the AMI source to FM radio? Still does the Pause/Play/Pause/Play/Etc business.

Hitting pause on the iPhone holds for anywhere between 5 seconds and 5 minutes, but the phone will mysteriously start playing whatever the front audio app is.

I ditched the cable, and got the Tunes2Air dingus, which works really well, but still has this pause/play problem.

This behavior has also happened with another iPhone and an Android. The stereo is clearly sending repeated Pause/Play commands.

The dealer who sold me the Tunes2Air thing thinks it needs a radio reset, which I figured I could find online and do myself, but alas - there are no instructions I can find for the low-rent A4 stereo (just MMI equipped vehicles).

Any ideas?

Thanks!
