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.

conjunction with the car telephone kit.
Bluetooth connection
When you insert the ignition key, a Bluetooth connection is auto-
matically established between the car telephone kit and your
bonded mobile phone or handset*. For this, the handset must be
placed in the carrier.
The Bluetooth connection between the car telephone kit and the
mobile phone is automatically terminated when you remove the key
from the ignition lock. The connection between the car telephone kit
and the handset is terminated when you switch off the car tele-
phone kit page 97.
Applies to vehicles: with Bluetooth car telephone kit
Switching the Bluetooth car telephone kit on
and off
– Press the function selector button marked .
– Press the function selector button marked .
– Turn the rotary pushbutton to Switch on telephone or

is switched on, as long as it was not switched off separately the last
time it was used.

– Press the SIM card holder down with the SIM card still in
it and then let go of the holder again page 31, fig. 23.
The SIM card will be released.
– Remove the SIM card from the SIM card holder.
If the SIM card is inserted improperly, or if it is damaged or not
compatible, the message Please insert the SIM card page 31,
fig. 22 will appear on the display. Remove the SIM card and insert it
properly or replace it with another SIM card.
The PIN (Personal Identification Number) protects your SIM card
against unauthorised use. You receive the PIN code from your
mobile network service provider together with the SIM card.
If you enter the wrong PIN code three times
4) in a row, your SIM card
will be blocked and a message will appear in the display.
The PUK (Personal Unblocking Key) is used to unblock a SIM card
which has been blocked. You receive the PUK from your mobile
network service provider together with the SIM card.
WARNING
Always keep the SIM card out of reach of young children; it is rela-
tively small and could possibly be swallowed.
Caution
•The handset and the SIM card can be damaged if care is not
taken.
−Please do not use force when sliding the SIM card into the slot.
−When inserting the SIM card, make sure it is in the correct
position.
•There are many different telephone SIM cards available on the
market, so it cannot be guaranteed that every card will function properly. The old type of SIM card (5V technology) can no longer be
used. If you have this type of SIM card, please contact your mobile
network service provider to obtain a replacement (with 3V tech-
nology). Never attempt to operate your telephone with an incompat-
ible SIM card, as this can cause damage to the card or your tele-
phone.
•The SIM card contacts can be easily damaged by scratches or
bending. For this reason, handle the SIM card with care.
Note
•When using a twin card please follow the recommendations of
your provider. Otherwise, you may experience connection problems
and callers may not be able to reach you.
•You can also enter the PIN and PUK using the MMI page 88.
•If you are using a twin card in the handset, you should activate
the PIN query page 98. The SIM card in the vehicle is then only
activated when you enter the PIN.
Applies to vehicles: with handset for the car telephone kit
Charging and changing the battery
