Technical Background
This condition is a known MMI software issue and is currently in the analysis stage. Currently, there is no solution.
Model Year 2019-2020 vehicles can have this issue with the factory-installed MMI software. Additionally, Model
Year 2018 vehicles which received a recent MMI software update could also experience this issue. It’s important
to note that the issue is intermittent and does not always occur during a drive based on driving
conditions. However, for some customers, this issue can occur during each trip each day.
How to reproduce the issue:
 While driving slow in a parking lot, after driving at speed

 When the vehicle slows down below 20mph, such as when approaching stopped traffic at an intersection or in
stop-n-go traffic.
 This issue does not occur at speeds above 20mph.
 In some cases, disconnecting and reconnecting the phone does not resolve the issue.
 In some cases, turning off and back on the ASI feature within the Connection Manager does not resolve the
issue.
 Please see the Service section for a temporary workaround.
Production Solution
To be determined.
Service
Please inform the customer that the issue can occur when the vehicle speed drops below 20mph. Add the
customer’s information into the Pending Service Solution (PSS) system (AccessAudi.com >> App Links >>
Service >> Pending Service Solution (PSS) or http://www.accessaudi.com/pssjct).
Additionally, inform the customer about the following temporary workaround.
1. Have the customer bring the car to a full stop in a safe manner and location.
2. Ask the customer to press the Park Aid button twice
(Figure 2), once to trigger the parking sensors, and once
to turn off the parking sensors. The vehicle must be
stationary in order to complete this step.
Figure 2. Park Aid button.
3. Then from that point on in the drive the issue should be resolved until the car is allowed to go to sleep
again.
4. Repeat this procedure, whenever it is safe to do so, anytime the ASI screen goes blank during a drive.
