Owner Narrative

The Audi MMI infotainment software will control itself. For example, with my cellphone as the main audio device, the software will randomly switch to bluetooth, radio, or XM. The GPS will stop navigating which is the biggest concern when it does happen. It is an instant distraction that is hard to ignore. Especially when navigation is needed. Also, the garage door 'button' does not work sometimes which is not enjoyable during the snowy seasons where I have to actually get out and walk across slippery ground to close my garage. I have video proof and showed it to Audi dealership in Westwood, MA. They told me there is a pending recall but no solution so they sent me back out with the car. I talked with Audi corporate online and they mentioned: "Can you confirm pending recall that you're referring to? I ask because I checked 3 resources and no recall is showing pending on your vehicle." I'm hearing one thing from Audi dealership, and another from corporate. I have not heard back from either since talking with them. I would just like some follow up and to know when a solution is available. This is very concerning that they say there is a known issue with no fix and send me back out with an unresolved vehicle. The software can be very distracting and unsafe when it does not work and does it's own thing by itself. Attached are two pictures of my service invoice. Please note: "Confirmed clients concerns, found infotainment recall pending for the vehicle. No software updates available at this time." I can provide videos I took on my phone showing the screen bugging out by itself if needed. Thank you for your time looking at this!
