MMI searching

Post by jonicox » Fri Oct 16, 2015 1:51 am

Not necessarily RS6 specific, but I'm feeling a bit stupid about trying to figure out how to search for music stored on my iPod and need some help. At the moment I have to scroll through playlists etc. to find what I want and with a full 128GB iPod, that is a lot of stuff.

The MMI manual shows that there should be a 'Find Music' icon (as well as a few others that are missing)

but what I see when I have my iPod connected is this

Anyone got ideas as to why that is?

B7 A4 DTM (gone)
B7 RS4 (Miltek Res Valved, 100 cell cats, Ceramics, Carbon cleaned) gone
C7 RS6 Panther, carbon pack,

might be an SD card function only (as per manual pages) rather than a feature that extends to iPods and the like. I am pretty sure I have the icon when using the SD cards as a source, but I dont bother with an external media player.

You get the find music on SD, USB and Jukebox. It doesn't surprise me that it isn't on iPod. TBH, I think the way the MMI navigates tracks and albums is rubbish, even on SD Card, especially the way it returns you to the first album / folder / artist in the list whenever you cycle the ignition. Voice control is laughably bad, too.

Been spending a lot of time with the next generation MMI recently (as per Q7) and it makes the current MMI look like a POS. Voice control commands such as "Play album Dark Side of the Moon" just work perfectly.
