Note
•If you use mobile phones in the vehicle this can generate electro-
magnetic fields.
−For this reason, you should always operate mobile phones
with an external aerial. This also applies to mobile phones used
in Bluetooth mode. The external aerial directs the electromag-
netic fields to the exterior, which reduces the field strength in the
vehicle interior.
−If retrofitting an external aerial, please ensure that it is
installed correctly.
•For more information on how to bond your mobile phone, please
refer to the mobile phone operating instructions.
•For up-to-date information on the phone pre-installation, please
ask an Audi dealer or specialist retailer.

Phone book entries
The phone book entries on your SIM card and your mobile
phone directory are automatically stored in the on-board
phone system.
Loading the phone book entries
The phone book entries will be loaded into the on-board phone
system 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 on-board phone system
remain stored there. When you link a fifth mobile phone to the on-
board phone system, the phone book from the mobile phone which
has not been used for the longest time is deleted from the on-board
system. Up to 1000 phone book entries per phone book can be
stored in the memory.
Using the mobile phone again later
If the SIM card is identical, the phone book entries are already
stored in the on-board phone system. You can use the phone book
almost immediately.
The system automatically checks the phone book entries in the
background 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. 15, 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.
•In certain cases, phone book entries from a mobile phone may
not be transmitted in alphabetical order. If more than 1000 phone
book entries exist, entries with certain initial letters may not appear
on the MMI.

Bluetooth car telephone kit 24
Bluetooth car telephone kit
Applies to vehicles: with Bluetooth car telephone kit
Introduction
The car telephone kit has a universal interface, which
means that different types of mobile phone can be
connected using Bluetooth technology.
The car telephone kit is approved for use in GSM 900 and GSM 1800
networks. The functionality of SIM cards for UMTS networks may be
limited in certain circumstances.
Bluetooth profiles
Bluetooth devices use profiles to communicate with each other. The
SIM Access Profile and the Hands-Free Profile are used to exchange
data between Bluetooth phones and the car telephone kit. Please
check which profiles are supported by your mobile phone.
Mobile phones which support both the Hands-Free Profile and the
SIM Access Profile can use all of the telephone functions on the car
telephone kit. These telephone functions are appended with the text
“Mobile phone with SIM Access Profile” in this Operating Manual.
Mobile phones which support only the Hands-Free Profile cannot
use all of the telephone functions on the car telephone kit. These
telephone functions are appended with the text “Mobile phone with
Hands-Free Profile” in this Operating Manual.
Mobile phone with SIM Access Profile
SIM Access Profile means that a car telephone kit can access the SIM
card on a Bluetooth-capable mobile phone via a Bluetooth connec-
tion.
You can use your mobile phone's SIM card, phone book and tele-
phone functions on the car telephone kit as long as your mobile
phone is fully compatible with the car telephone kit. Telephone calls
are directed via the external aerial. This reduces the radiation inside
the vehicle and improves the quality of the telephone connection.Handset* for the car telephone kit
If your vehicle is equipped with a car telephone kit and handset*,
you can insert a SIM card in the handset*. Alternatively, you can
bond a mobile phone (with SIM Access Profile) to the car telephone
kit and use the mobile phone's SIM card functions on the handset*.
Please refer to page 27 for information on how to set up the
system.
Mobile phone with Hands-Free Profile
Hands-Free Profile means that a mobile phone can be connected to
the car telephone kit via Bluetooth. The handsfree system on the car
telephone kit can then be used to make phone calls. Not all of the
telephone functions on your car telephone kit will be available.
Please refer to page 28 for information on how to set up the
system.
The external car aerial is not used. The handset* cannot be used.
The following can be used for operation
•MMI* page 87
•Handset* for the car telephone kit page 30
•Multi-function steering wheel* page 132
•Speech dialogue system* page 169 or telephone speech
control system* page 160
WARNING
•Always place the handset* back into the carrier after use.
Otherwise, you could place yourself or others at risk when braking
or during an accident.
•Health organisations recommend keeping a minimum distance
of 15 centimetres between an activated handset* and a pace-
maker to avoid interference between the two units.
