Audi’s wireless charging pad in 2021–2024 a4/a5/q5 models: •overheats the phone •triggers a thermal radio throttle •iphone temporarily disables bluetooth hardware •Audi mmi sees that and throws: “bluetooth function is currently unavailable. ” •wireless carplay collapses because it needs bluetooth + wifi direct •audio goes dead along with it this exact sequence is documented across a4/a5/q3/q5 forums and Audi service bulletins. The pad is the culprit — not your phone, not the car. When bluetooth and apple car play shut down, so do directions which causes driver to scramble to find phone and follow phone screen which distracts drivers and causes accidents. It happens every time you use the tray after 5-20 minutes. Very scary for older drivers. Would like NHTSA to pressure Audi into a recall and fix the pad at Audi's expense. I bought the car to use the wireless charger, not have to work around it. And it is exceptionally unsafe.
See attached document for complaint.
