Technical Background
Since the introduction of the new MIB2 MMI hardware architecture starting with vehicles built on or after CW45/16
(CW52/16 for MY18 Q5), the Apple iPod Accessory Protocol 1 is no longer supported (iAP1). The only MMI
supported Apple devices are the devices with a 9-pin lightning connector (Figure 1) which support the Apple iPod
Accessory Protocol 2 (iAP2).
Apple iPod Accessory Protocol 1 (iAP1) devices have the 30-pin dock connector and are the following
devices, but not limited to:
 iPod Touch Generation 1-4 (30-pin dock connector)
 iPod Classic (30-pin dock connector)
 iPod Video (30-pin dock connector)
 iPod Nano (excluding 7th gen with lightning connector)

Production Solution
Not applicable.
Service
Explain to the customer the information in the Technical Background. Using a 30-pin to 9-pin Lightning adapter
will not resolve the concern. There is no work around for this concern due to the issue with the older devices not
being able to support the iAP2 protocol. The MMI can only support the iAP2 protocol for devices with a lightning
connector.
