2025 Audi MMI Apps Tab Shows Foreign Languages TSB

Owners of 2025 Audi A5, S5, Q5, and SQ5 models may notice that the MMI in-car store's "Apps" tab displays third-party applications in languages other than their system's default. This behavior, where the "Apps" tab displays third-party apps in foreign languages, is addressed by Audi Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 2076355/2.

This bulletin clarifies that the presence of foreign-language apps is not a malfunction but rather a deliberate design choice by Audi. If you've observed that your 2025 Audi MMI foreign language apps are not localized, this article explains why.

Symptoms Owners May Notice

Customers may observe that when browsing the Audi Store within their vehicle's Multi Media Interface (MMI) system, specifically under the "Apps" tab, some applications are listed in foreign languages. The primary complaint is that "The Audi Store in the MMI also lists foreign-language apps under the "Apps" tab."

This can lead to confusion, as owners might expect all available applications to be presented in their local language or to be relevant to their geographical region. The workshop findings confirm that this behavior can be consistently reproduced in vehicles.

Technical Explanation from Audi

Audi's technical background for TSB 2076355/2 explains that the third-party applications offered through the Audi Application Store are not filtered based on language or regional settings. This was a conscious decision made by Audi to ensure the widest possible selection of apps is available to users globally.

This means that the store includes apps from various countries, even if they do not offer content relevant to the customer's region or are not localized into the MMI system's language. For example, alongside popular apps like Spotify and YouTube, users might encounter news apps from other countries that are not in their native language.

Important Information for Owners

Audi has explicitly stated that there is currently no repair available for this condition, as it is not considered a fault. Owners should be aware of the following:

• Do not perform any repairs. Any attempts to repair this concern may be denied under warranty.
• This condition is normal. Audi advises that customers be instructed that the display of foreign-language apps is an expected and normal characteristic of the MMI in-car store.

This TSB is informational only and does not apply to any Audi Warranty claims related to this specific behavior. It serves to inform technicians and owners about the intended functionality of the Audi Application Store regarding the display of 2025 Audi MMI foreign language apps.
