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.

MMI componentsMMI control consoleMulti-function steering wheelTelephone handsetVoice control −To lessen the risk of interference you should use the ear
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-
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.
