Evening all,

My RNSE has randomly started reverting back to the first track on the iPod / start of the alphabet after the car has been locked and gone fully to sleep; short stops (e.g. fill ups) and it is fine, ignition off, fill up, lock car, pay, return to the car, ignition on music track starts from where it left off. Allow the car to fully go to sleep, i.e. overnight, shower <beep> shave, unlock car (after dressing and leaving house) fire up the quattro and I am back listening to a-Ha.

It does it though randomly - last week it went 4 days in the garage and fired up to where it left off (a cheeky bit of Fun Lovin Criminals Big Night Out)

Either the car likes a-Ha (doubtful) or I have a problem - at a wild guess someone has had or has the same issue?

In a Disco 3 the answer was disconnect the battery, leave for 4 hours, put fingers in ears, get Mrs to reconnect the battery......anything similar for Audi?

Cheers

Could just get yourself an AMI hard drive. Got genuine Audi legends one from Audi through fleaby, 500GB, £50, Job done

I play my music off SD cards (two actually) and I've not had this problem.

Does it start straight away at the Ipod's 1st album ? or does it start with the radio or something else ? (i.e does it remember that you were listening the Ipod last ?)

You can always rename your favourite album with an AA at the front

No, it remembers source, just not track....

Link?

Don't think though that this would stop it dumping the last track from its memory at shut down.....

Try an 8GB SD card ... they take a lot of music and are as cheap as chips at the moment.

They are hidden and permanent too .. so no plugging / unplugging your ipod.

I know it is a short time that I have owned the car but I have never experienced that problem and the AMI drive is always on / active even with the engine off so may well do. Either that or you cn hard reboot your RNS-e and see if that cures it?

Have you tried sticking an old SD card in to see if it does it as well?

Have to tried taking your iPod out of the car and playing so e tracks, then letting it shut down properly (leaving it for half hour or so) the turning it back on and see where it plays from? Maybe it's a setting on your iPod that needs changing. Maybe a fault with iPod and not RNS-E?

Cheers Mike. Have taken it out tonight, will do an iPod restore........

Before you do a restore just see if the problems is still there on the ipod whe not connected to the car.

Couldn't get the iPod to replicate the fault out of the car.

Have reverted to another iPod nano that I know didn't display the behaviour.

Good nudge though to suggest the iPod......will make sure it is properly ruled out before moving onto the RNSE; somewhat of a noob oversight.

Looks like it was the iPod. Well done Mike.

Left the older nano in the car all day going back to it every couple of hours and each time the RNSE picks up where the track previously stopped.

Just doing a restore of the newer larger pod now.

Cheers

Glad you got it sorted. Hopefully the restore should fix it. Might have been worth trying a hard reset first but it's easy enough to restore anyway.

I had the same problem in my S4 with i pod nano 5th gen ,now using i pod classic with no problems.
