I have my iPhone plugged into the A5 using the Audi AMI function but it seems that the between the mighty Apple and Audi none of them thought of normalising the audio tracks. The result being bleeding ears as the audio levels jump from a low to high track!
No problem to fix tho if your using Linux, literally 5 commands ( 4 if you don’t want to screen it 
):
