If you can’t be arsed reading my post all the way through, feel free to skip to the last paragraph.
So shortly after getting my Leon, going on 3 years ago, I went and bought myself the Audi version of the media cables.
Why? So that the album art work appeared on the screen. With a 128gb iPhone 7 which all my music was on, it meant I didnt have to mess about with organising the memory card anymore.
Then iOS11 came along last year and ruined it, at best it charges, at its worst it crash’s the whole unit and doesn’t restart till I unplug.
If I restart the iPhone and use the old cable, it will play music but no art work. Next time charging only. So back to Bluetooth or a memory card.
iOS11 is definitely the culprit, as I’ve tried iOS10 work phone (5S) wife’s phone (6S) and a friends iphone (7). All worked until they were updated to iOS11. Now they do the same as my phone.
I’m due to upgrade phones in September and hoping iOS12 might fix it again, but I’m doubtful.
Now I love my iPhone, but I also like android.
So I’m considering a Samsung S9 as the next phone, how well does this work with the MIB1 unit via the USB connection. Does it just work like a memory card/USB stick or is it better? Does the album artwork work with the better Audi cables?
