Mine is the same. Whether it’s visible to the driver or not seems to be intermittent. Sometimes it changes with the content (eg hides games) but it’s not consistent. This seems to be a common complaint. Mine also gets ridiculously hot… if it’s on the map for a long drive to help navigate after an hour it gets uncomfortably hot. I try not to leave it on too long now as that heat can’t do the screen any good in the long term.

 

That’s the exact same scenario I was having issues with. My son had the map up, the screen got so hot, he couldn’t pinch to zoom.

i’m glad it not just me. I’m guessing that the extra heat is coming from the malfunctioning screen shading. I wonder if the extra energy usage affects the milage in any significant manner. It does seem like it using a lot of extra energy energy.

 

Add it to the many bugs this model has

 

That is not normal and will definitely affect screen life. Get to the dealer before something ignites inside the screen. If the outside of the screen is that hot the insides are hotter.

 

Agreed - sounds like a potential fire risk (speaking as someone whose car a few years ago caught fire due to an electrical fault…)

 

The ability to see the screen has been around a while now, Audi have not really addressed it or even commented on it. You’ll find that you can see the Home Screen and and settings for the car but not any streaming services. Same with the over heating of the display screen. @LIM reported this shortly after the car was released and nothing has been done.

 

Everything is visible for me. Including streaming apps like YouTube.

For the first couple days I owned the car, the shading worked, then it just stopped functioning for everything.
