2020 Audi S5

The dominant pattern in 2020 Audi S5 complaints centers on the MMI infotainment system repeatedly rebooting while the car is in use. Owners across multiple reports describe the system cycling through restarts roughly every 30 to 90 seconds, both while parked and while driving. The practical consequence they flag most often is losing the backup camera mid-reverse along with the rear parking and proximity sensors, which fall under the back-over prevention system, the single most-reported category. The forward collision avoidance system and front camera feed are also described as going offline during these reboot cycles. The electrical system complaints appear closely tied to the same MMI behavior rather than representing a separate set of failures. Several owners note the issue started abruptly and then became constant, with the reboot loop reproducible every time the vehicle is running.
