your vehicle via the MMI; this depends on your
vehicle's equipment and the features of your mo
bile phone.
Handsfree operation
After connecting your mobile phone to the MMI
system via Bluetooth, you can operate the hands
free system and the telephone functions conven
iently via the MMI. Your phone calls will be made
via the antenna of your mobile phone.
With the Audi phone box*, you can use the vehi
cle's external aerial to make calls. The use of the
external aerial reduces radiation in the vehicle
and also ensures better reception quality
¢page 146.
Car phone d
)
As part of Audi connect*, the Audi phone box* in
cludes a car telephone function which can be
used via a separate mini SIM card in the SIM card
reader* or an rSAP 2
>-enabled mobile phone. With
the car telephone function, you can use the vehi
cle's external aerial to make calls. The use of the
external aerial reduces radiation in the vehicle
and also ensures better reception quality
¢page 146.
Once a connection has been established success
fully, you can also change the profiles at a later
time. Refer to¢ page 213, Connection manag
er.
A WARNING

pocket directly over the pacemaker when
the phone is switched on.

mobile phone off immediately.
- The speech dialogue system*¢ page 133
must not be used in cases of emergency,
since the voice changes in stressful situa
tions. This could result in a failed or delayed
telephone connection. Always dial emergen
cy numbers manually!
- Switch off your mobile phones in all areas
where there may be a risk of explosion. Re
member that these areas may not always be
adequately marked. Such places are filling

mulate in the air. This warning also applies
to all other places where you would normal
ly switch off your engine.
