2024-2026 Audi Virtual Cockpit Display Resets After Bus Sleep

Owners of various 2024-2026 Audi models equipped with the virtual cockpit may observe that the last selected display view resets to a default setting after the vehicle has been stationary for an extended period. This behavior, where the Audi virtual cockpit resets to the on-board computer view with large round instruments, is addressed by Audi Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 90 25 63 2076743/1, issued on January 30, 2025.

Symptoms

Customers report that after their vehicle has been in bus sleep mode—an extended period of inactivity—the display in the Audi virtual cockpit no longer shows the last selected view. For example, if the navigation map with small, round instruments for engine and vehicle speed was previously active, it will revert to the standard on-board computer display featuring large round instruments for these parameters.

Technical Explanation

Audi's technical background for TSB 90 25 63 2076743/1 clarifies that this display change is an intended operational characteristic. The virtual cockpit is designed to revert to this standard view if the customer did not actively change the display during the trip immediately preceding the bus sleep cycle. This means if no tabs were switched (e.g., from the on-board computer to navigation) or no display changes were made to the round instruments via the VIEW button on the multifunction steering wheel, the Audi virtual cockpit resets to its default state.

Important Warnings for Owners

Audi explicitly states that this condition is not a defect and no repair should be performed. Dealers are instructed to explain to customers that this is the intended operation of the virtual cockpit system. Furthermore, this TSB is informational only and is not applicable to any Audi Warranty claims. Owners should not seek repairs for this display behavior as it is considered normal.

What Owners Should Do

If you own a 2024-2026 Audi model and notice that your Audi virtual cockpit resets to the default display after the vehicle has been parked for an extended period, there is no action required. This behavior is considered normal operation by Audi. You do not need to take your vehicle to a dealer for diagnosis or repair related to this specific condition. The information provided in TSB 2076743 is for informational purposes to clarify this system behavior.
