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”.
•An iPod shuffle cannot be used with the USB/mini USB adapter
cable.
Applies to vehicles: with Audi music interface and 3.5 mm jack plug/adapter cable - under
development at the time of printing
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.

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.

– Slide the lock on the adapter
fig. 11 into the guide
tab of the mounting unit .– Push the bottom part of the adapter down to make it
engage.
Removing the adapter
– Fold the centre armrest upwards

Inserting and removing a mobile phone
Important: A mobile phone adapter must be installed

page 20.
Inserting
– Place the mobile phone in the adapter
fig. 12.
– Press the mobile phone into the adapter until it locks into
place.
Removing
– Press the release button
fig. 13.– Lift the mobile phone out.
Should you insert the mobile phone into the adapter or remove it
during a call, the audio output or the connection may be inter-
rupted.
WARNING
Always make sure that the mobile phone is properly engaged. In
the event of an accident, a mobile phone which is not securely
fitted could be flung out of the adapter unit and injure the driver
or passengers.
Caution
The mobile phone could possibly be damaged if it is not properly
inserted in the adapter and falls out when driving.
Note
•When you insert the mobile phone in the adapter the connection
is established via the interface in the adapter set; the Bluetooth
connection is then cancelled
2).
•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.

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.
