I've got a A4 which came with a cd changer in the glove box and an ipod connection also in the glovebox. I connected my iphone onto the ipod plug to see if it would work, which wouldn't, but got a message on the iphone saying it was not compatible and gave a option to switch into airplane mode, but does charge the iphone.

After disconecting the iphone and trying to listen to a cd, i noticed the lights on the cd changer had gone off and the display screen on the dash unit says there is only one disc in the changer when the changer is actually full. when i try to play the disc, no sound comes out of the speakers but the time for the track is running, then the disc scrolls straight to disc 99 and plays from there, again no sound.

Has anybody experienced the same thing, and what did you do to fix it?

Thanks

Is it a dension gateway system?

Can you press changer (upper left from wheel) and find 'menu' from there I think you can change the source.

If it's a dension, the source you want is 'iPod GW'

Not sure what you mean by denison, but it's got sat nav plus display in the dash.

I plugged the iphone in again and can now listen to the songs in the ipod functon on the phone, but still cannot revert back to listening or getting it to recornise the cd's in the changer. I've looked at the manuals and it should go back to cd changer mode after disconnecting the ipod. Not in my case.

There are no options on screen to choose between ipod and cd changer. Once ipod is plugged in the 'cd' button on the unit is for the ipod. I can only guess it is in ipod mode and i don't know how to switch it back to using the cd changer.

Can the changer or system be reset?

A dension gateway is an add on for the Audi MMI system.

I bought and fitted mine myself and added bluetooth for my phone as the car did not come with it as standard.

If it's a standard fitment you have then I would take it to Audi and ask for the latest firmware for your MMI system, that'll probably sort you out.

I don't have a denson system.

I've searched all over the net and still no joy.

I'm going to have to do without until it goes in for it's next service.

Thanks
