I have the same problem on my car and i took it to the dealer and they hooked it up to online diagnostic to Audi headquarter in Dubai and said that they don't have a fix and that it happened to 3-4 cars and it's associated with Arabic language support in the system software but i guess not since it happened to your car I'm supposed to go to them again to check if they got a fix

Spoke to the service manager here and he confirmed the problem is indeed due to the Arabic language support. I'm taking the car in on Monday and they will try to flash the software to only English as I don't need the Arabic support. I'm hoping this will work as having to use the MMI wheel to answer phone calls is not very safe or convinient

I actually find it much easier to use the MMI **** to answer a phone call. The **** is so big that I cant miss it, I can push it without looking. Scroll thru the steering control is much more complicated.

Maybe. But I can't even control my music/radio. I don't have the ability to see what is playing or go to next track.

All I have to do is push the left hand thumb wheel to answer a call, there isn't any scrolling involved...

I want the arabic support in the media and i don't think the\at they can disable the arabic language in MMI interface and keep it supported in the media so I'll have to wait.

they told me they are looking for a fix and I'll be informed about it in a month(I know too long) or if they find a fix earlier

Yes I'm in Abu Dhabi. Made an appointment for Monday. I would also like to keep the Arabic support but if I have to give it up to be able to answer phone and change tracks as well as see media info in the instrument cluster then I'm willing to give it up. Will let you know what happens.
