Please note that music files are copyright-protected.
Note
•You can shorten the process of scanning for music files on the
connected USB memory device by creating a central folder for
music files and playlists and positioning it as the first item (alpha-
betically) on the memory device.
•Do not use USB extension cables or adapters as these impair the
functionality.
•The Audi music interface does not support DRM-protected files.
•In view of the variety of USB memory devices and the difference
in memory capacities, the functionality may be restricted in the case
of some memory devices.
•For up-to-date information please see the internet, e.g.
“www.audi.com”.

Connecting a portable player via an adapter
cable (with 3.5 mm jack plug)
You can connect your portable player (e.g. MP3 player) to
the Audi music interface using the adapter cable with
3.5 mm jack plug.
– Connect the 3.5 mm jack plug to the earphone connec-
tion of your portable player. The audio source is then
played through the sound system of your vehicle.
If the Audi music interface is already selected as the source
page 63, fig. 54, you may hear some brief interference (a noise
often occurring on home stereo systems) when you connect or
disconnect the 3.5 mm jack plug. To avoid this interference, you can
either activate the mute function page 45 or another audio
source (radio page 54, CD page 63) before connecting and
disconnecting the portable player.
Note
We recommend setting the output level of the portable player to
about 70 percent of maximum. You can adjust the volume level (for
instance to match the radio volume) via the Input level function
page 70.

Bluetooth™
Bluetooth enables a wireless connection between a
mobile phone and the MMI system.
The mobile phone 3) must be bonded to the on-board phone
system in the vehicle (only has to be done once). This proce-
dure involves various steps, depending on the mobile
phone you are using. After you switch on the ignition, you
have 5 minutes to connect your mobile phone to the on-
board phone system (while the vehicle is stationary).
– Make sure that no other mobile phone is connected to
the on-board phone system via Bluetooth.
– Switch on the ignition and the MMI (if not already acti-
vated).
– Select the appropriate menu option on your mobile
phone to search for Bluetooth compatible devices
(phone pre-installation).– Connect the mobile phone to the on-board phone
system. Your on-board phone system will use the name
“Audi UHV” when it connects with the mobile phone.
– Enter the PIN for handsfree mode (“1234”) on the on-
board phone system within 30 seconds.
– Wait until your mobile phone indicates that it has
bonded. The Bluetooth symbol fig. 14 will appear
on the MMI display.
You should change the PIN for handsfree mode to prevent unauthor-
ised use of your mobile phone page 101.
Up to four mobile phones
You can bond up to four mobile phones to the on-board phone
system. However, it is only possible to activate one connection at a
time. If you bond a fifth mobile phone to the on-board phone
system, the system will delete the device which has not been used
for the longest time in conjunction with the on-board phone system.
Connecting and disconnecting
A mobile phone which has been bonded to the on-board phone
system and is ready to operate will be connected automatically
when you switch on the ignition. On some mobile phones you have
to confirm the connection.
The Bluetooth connection is terminated when the key is removed
from the ignition lock.
Range
The Bluetooth connection between the mobile phone and the on-
board phone system is restricted to the interior of the vehicle. The
connection can be susceptible to interference caused by other elec-
tronic devices or obstacles between the devices. For example, the
transmission quality may be affected if you keep your mobile phone
in your jacket pocket.
3)Please make sure that the mobile phone you are bonding supports the
Hands-Free Profile.

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.

opposite to the pacemaker.
−Never carry the handset* in a chest pocket.
−If you suspect interference, switch the handset* off immedi-
ately.
•The handset* may interfere with the function of hearing aids in
certain circumstances. If necessary, contact the manufacturer of
your hearing aid to find an alternative solution.
•If you use other health related devices, please contact the
manufacturer before using the handset* to find out if the device is
adequately protected against radiation.
•Airbags are released with extreme force. Never place the
handset* within the area of inflation of an airbag. You will put
yourself and others at risk.
•When using the telephone, please note page 9, “Notes on
traffic safety”.
Caution
•Please heed laws regulating the use of telephones in vehicles.
•You must switch off the telephone system in areas where the use
of mobile telephones is prohibited. Please observe all relevant
caution notices and regulations.
•Switch off the car telephone kit page 26, the handset*
page 140 and any other mobile phones 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 chemical 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 accumulate in the air. This
warning also applies to all other places where you would normally
switch off your engine.
•The car telephone kit and handset may be installed, serviced and
repaired only by an Audi workshop or other qualified workshop.
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-
