Symptoms
Owners of affected 2021 Audi vehicles may notice that the Audi connect application installation does not complete. The primary symptom is the message "Audi connect installation: error during installation" displayed in the drop-down menu of the Multi Media Interface (MMI).
This error indicates that the installation process for the Audi connect application has frozen due to an internal system fault. If you are experiencing an Audi e-tron connect installation error, this TSB provides the recommended solution.
Diagnosis / Trigger Conditions
The issue stems from a fault within the MIB3 system that causes the installation of the Audi connect application to freeze. This prevents the application from completing its setup process, leading to the persistent "Audi connect installation: error during installation" message.
Repair Procedure Summary
The recommended repair procedure is straightforward and aims to resolve the system fault by resetting the MMI system:
- Reset MMI: Access the settings menu within the MMI system and perform a factory default reset. This action clears temporary glitches that may be causing the installation to freeze.
- Restart System: After the reset, restart the MMI system.
- Initiate Setup: The setup process for the Audi connect functions should automatically restart. It is expected to run until completed without further interruption.
This procedure addresses the underlying fault that causes the Audi e-tron connect installation error and similar issues across other MIB3-equipped models.
Owner Action
If your 2021 Audi vehicle is displaying the "Audi connect installation: error during installation" message, you can attempt the MMI reset procedure as described above. If the issue persists or if you are uncomfortable performing the reset yourself, it is recommended to visit an authorized Audi dealership.
