Note
•Please note that only the MMI and its components are described
in this operating manual. For more information about your vehicle's
equipment and features, please refer to your Owner's Manual.
•The arrangement of the MMI switches and controls on right-
hand drive models* may be slightly different from the layout shown
in
page 8, fig. 1. However, the symbols used to identify the
controls are the same.
MMI: Multi Media Interface
The Audi Multi Media Interface (MMI) combines different
communication and entertainment systems in your Audi.
With your MMI you can listen to the radio or CDs, watch television*
and even connect portable players*1). The navigation system*
guides you directly to your destination. You can also follow your
individual route plan with up to three stopovers. Information about traffic conditions is taken into account when calculating your route.
Of course, you can use many your mobile phone's* functions in
conjunction with the MMI. Alternatively, a handset is available for
the integrated Bluetooth car telephone kit*. In addition, the MMI
combines various driver assistance systems of your vehicle.
You can access the comprehensive infotainment system in several
ways. On the one hand, you can reach all functions via the MMI
control console with its intuitive and standardised operation
concept. On the other hand, you can access frequently used MMI
functions via the multi-function steering wheel or the speech
dialogue system.
Notes on traffic safety
You should only perform important functions, e.g. enter a naviga-
tion destination, while the vehicle is stationary. Please always bear
in mind: Be prepared to stop operating the system in the interest of
your safety and that of other road users.
WARNING
•Today's driving conditions require your full attention. As the
driver, you have full responsibility for the safety of the vehicle and
other road users. For this reason, only operate the MMI when the
traffic conditions allow you to do so safely and when you can
maintain proper control of your vehicle - risk of injury.
•The volume of the audio sources (radio, CD player, etc.) should
only be set at a level which enables you to hear distant police and
emergency vehicles clearly - failure to do so could result in an acci-
dent.
•Please heed laws regulating the use of telephones in vehicles.

Phone pre-installation
Applies to vehicles: with phone pre-installation
Introduction
A mobile phone can be connected to the on-board phone
system and operated via the MMI control console, the
multi-function steering wheel or the speech control
system.
The phone pre-installation is located in the centre armrest. A special
mobile phone adapter is needed in order to connect your mobile
phone to this interface
page 20. Mobile phone adapters are avail-
able from Audi dealers or specialist retailers.
You can operate your mobile phone using the MMI control console

page 87, the multi-function steering wheel*
page 132, the
speech dialogue system*
page 169 or the telephone speech
control system*
page 160. You can also use the talk button *
on the mobile phone adapter to answer and end a call.
When your mobile phone is in the mobile phone adapter, call
signals are sent and received via the external car aerial. This ensures
good transmission quality and reduces radiation emissions in the
interior of the vehicle.
WARNING
•Please note that persons should maintain a minimum distance
of 15 cm from the aerial as prescribed by the certification regula-
tions for mobile high frequency transmission devices.
•Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the
driver, you have full responsibility for the safety of the vehicle and
other road users. For this reason, you should only use the func-
tions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the
vehicle in all situations - accident risk!
•The speech dialogue system*
page 169 and the telephone
speech control system*
page 160 must not be used in cases of
emergency, since the voice changes in stressful situations. This
could result in a failed or delayed telephone connection. Always
dial emergency numbers manually!
Caution
•Always obey the laws regulating the use of telephones in vehi-
cles.
•Always switch off your telephone in areas where using mobile
phones is prohibited.
•Switch off the telephone in all areas where there may be a risk of
explosion. 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 vehi-
cles or buildings) or large quantities of dust particles (e.g. from flour
or wood) could accumulate in the air. This warning also applies to
all other places where you would normally switch off your engine.
Note
•In order to use the telephone functions, your mobile phone must
be compatible with the phone pre-installation in the vehicle, and the
functions must be supported by your service provider.
•For up-to-date information on the phone pre-installation, please
ask an Audi dealer or specialist retailer.

Loading the phone book entries
The phone book entries will be loaded into the MMI automatically
when you switch on the ignition (if the mobile phone supports this
function). It may take several minutes to load the entries, depending
on how many entries are stored on the mobile phone.
The last four phone books loaded into the MMI memory remain
stored there. When you link a fifth mobile phone to the car tele-
phone kit, the phone book from the mobile phone which has not
been used for the longest time is deleted from the MMI. Up to 1255
phone book entries per phone book can be stored in the memory.
Reconnecting a mobile phone
If the SIM card is the same as before, the phone book will appear on
the MMI after a short time.
The MMI automatically checks the phone book entries in the back-
ground and will update the memory if the entries have changed.
Displaying the phone book entries
The phone book entries are displayed in alphabetical order together
with a category symbol
fig. 21, e.g. SIM card, private, business,
mobile phone or telephone symbol.
Note
•Which phone book entries are displayed on the MMI will depend
on the mobile phone you are using.
•If the SIM card is in the handset
page 31, only the SIM card
entries will be displayed.
•In certain cases, phone book entries from a mobile phone may
not be transmitted in alphabetical order. If there are too many
phone book entries, entries with certain initial letters may not be
displayed on the MMI system.

Applies to vehicles: with telephone speech control system
Introduction
You can use speech commands to operate various func-
tions of the telephone.

•Avoid speaking when the system is saying a cue.
•Close doors, windows and sun roof* to reduce background
noise. Make sure that passengers are not talking when you say a
command.
•Keep the air outlets of the air distribution system pointed away
from the microphone, which is fitted in the vicinity of the front inte-
rior lights.
•The system should only be operated by the driver, since the
hands-free microphone is directed towards the driver.
