Introduction

The MMI system includes various media drives

and connections. For example, you can play

audio/video* files from the jukebox or connect

a portable player to the Audi music interface

and operate it via the MMI.

Notes

General notes

Media and format limitations: The MMI sys-

tem (including the SD card reader and the

connection for the USB mass storage device*)

has been tested for use with many of the

products and media currently available on the

market. However, there may be some devices/

media and audio/video* files that are not sup-

ported or cannot be played, or the functionali-

ty may be limited under certain circumstan-

ces.

are copyright-protected.

The MMI media drives do not support DRM-

protected files; these files are marked with

the symbol .

Data storage: Never store important data on

SD cards, the jukebox, CDs/DVDs or portable

players. Audi shall not accept any liability

whatsoever for the loss of files or data and

media.

Loading times: The more files, folders or play-

lists are stored on a storage device, the longer

it will take to load the audio files/video* files.

We recommend using a storage device which

contains only audio/video* files. If you want

to reduce the time it takes to load the audio/

video* files, you can create subfolders (e.g. for

an artist or album). The loading time will be

extended additionally if you are importing da-

ta.

Additional information: Additional informa-

tion stored on audio files (e.g. artists, tracks,

album covers) will be displayed automatically

when the files are played. If this information

is not stored on the relevant medium, the

MMI system will use Gracenote®. Neverthe-

less, additional information may not be dis-

played in some cases.

Restricted functionality: If you experience re-

stricted functionality, reset the Media set-

tings to the factory defaults ð page 31.

For information on the characteristics of the

supported media and file formats, please re-

fer to ð page 27.

CD/DVD mode

CD/DVD and format limitations: In view of

the variety of CDs/DVDs and the difference in

memory capacities, the functionality may be

restricted in the case of some storage devices.

Under certain circumstances, audio CDs/video

DVDs that are copy-protected or CDs/DVDs

that do not comply with the standard audio

format, and multisession CDs cannot be

played at all, or the functionality may be limi-

ted. We recommend always finalising the

burning process when creating multisession

CDs. Multisession is not supported for DVDs.

Handling CDs/DVDs and the DVD drive: To

ensure perfect, high-quality playback and

avoid read error messages or damage to the

media drive, always store unused CDs/DVDs in

a suitable case and do not expose them to di-

rect sunlight. Do not use:

–Damaged, dirty or scratched CDs/DVDs

–Single CDs/DVDs (diameter 8 cm / 3 inches)

–Non-circular CDs/DVDs (shape CDs)

–CDs/DVDs with stickers

–Protective rings

–Cleaning disks

Thermal cut-out: In the case of extremely hot

or cold outside temperatures, it is possible

that the playback of a CD/DVD will temporari-

ly not function. A thermostat switch is instal-

led to protect the CD/DVD and the reading la-

ser. 

Introduction

Applies to vehicles: with phone pre-installation

After connecting your mobile phone to the

MMI system via Bluetooth, you can operate

the telephone functions conveniently via the

MMI.

WARNING

–According to health organisations, mo-

bile phones may interfere with the func-

tion of pacemakers. A minimum distance

of 20 cm should be kept between the

mobile phone aerial and the pacemaker.

–Do not carry a mobile phone in your

breast pocket directly over the pace-

maker when the phone is switched on.

–If you suspect interference, switch the

mobile phone off immediately.

–The speech dialogue system ð page 17

must not be used in cases of emergency,

since the voice changes in stressful situa-

tions. This could result in a failed or de-

layed telephone connection. Always dial

emergency numbers manually!

–Switch off your mobile phones in all

areas where there may be a risk of explo-

sion. Remember that these areas may

not always be adequately marked. Such

places are filling stations, fuel and chem-

ical storage facilities or transport

vehicles and other places where fumes,

chemicals (e.g. from leaking propane or

fuel vapours in vehicles or buildings) or

large quantities of dust particles (e.g.

from flour, wood or metal) could accu-

mulate in the air. This warning also ap-

plies to all other places where you would

normally switch off your engine.

–Today's driving conditions require the full

attention of drivers. Please see ð page 5,

Notes on traffic safety.

CAUTION

–Please observe the laws regulating the

use of telephones in vehicles.

–You must switch off the telephone in

areas where the use of mobile tele-

phones is prohibited. Please observe all

relevant caution notices and regulations.

Note

–The telephone functions will depend on

the mobile network service provider and

the mobile phone used. For further infor-

mation, please contact your mobile net-

work service provider, see the operating

instructions for your mobile phone, or go

online (e.g. www.audi.com/bluetooth).

bile phone and on the MMI display simulta-

neously. Confirm this PIN code on your mo-

bile phone and in the MMI.

Please confirm any connection queries on your

mobile phone.

After bonding: The signal strength bar 11

ð page 10, Fig. 6 and Bluetooth symbol 10

will appear in the status line of the MMI dis-

play when the mobile phone has successfully

bonded. In addition, the contacts on the mo-

bile phone are automatically loaded into the

directory of the MMI. This may take several

minutes, depending on how many contacts

are stored on the mobile phone.

If there is no memory capacity left for directo-

ries and you bond another mobile phone, a

message will appear asking you to replace the

contacts from one of the phones. If you select

the option Restricted use of telephone, only

the contacts from the mobile phone or SIM

card and the local MMI memory (public) will

be available ð page 41.

Dyn. traffic avoidance: When the dynamic

traffic avoidance function is on, the route is

automatically optimised using the current

traffic information. If the MMI system does

not display a detour route although the dy-

namic traffic avoidance function is on and a

traffic jam has been reported on the planned

route, this is because the estimated time re-

quired for the detour is longer than the esti-

mated time required for remaining on the

route with the traffic jam.

Route type: You can select a short, fast or

economical (eco) route.

Motorway/Vignette/Toll road/Tunnel/Ferry/

Motorail: If you do not want the navigation

roads, tunnels, ferries or motorail transit

routes in the route calculation, you can set the

option avoid.

Closed certain times: Select avoid to exclude

roads that are closed at certain times of the

day (e.g. pedestrian zones) from the route cal-

culation. When auto is selected, the MMI sys-

tem will determine whether the restricted

based on the entries stored in the navigation

data.

Seasonally restricted: Select avoid to exclude

roads that are closed during certain seasons

(e.g. mountain passes) from the route calcula-

tion. When auto is selected, the MMI system
