Introduction
There are various media drives and connections
avai lable in the MMI. For example, you can play
audio/video files* from the Jukebox* or connect
your mobile device to the Audi mus ic interface*
and operate it through the MMI.
Notes
General information
Media and format restrictions:
the MMI (includ­
ing the SD card reader and the USB storage de­
vice connection*) was tested with a variety of products and media on the market. However,
there may be cases where individual devices or media and audio/video files* may not be recog­
nized, may play only w ith restrictions or may not
play at all.
Digital Rights Management: please note that
the audio/video files* are subject to copyright
protection .
The media drives do not play fi les that are pro­
tected by ORM and that are ident ified with the
symbol
l'.D .
Data security: never store important data on SD
cards, the Jukebox*, CDs/DVDs or mobile devices .
Audi AG is not responsible for damaged or lost
files and media .
Loading times : the more files/fo lders/play lists
that are on a storage medium, the longer it will
take to load the audio/video files* . Audi recom­
mends using storage media that only contain au­
dio/video files*. To decrease the t i me it takes to
load audio/v ideo files*, create subfolders (for ex­
ample, fo r the art ist or album). The loading time
will also increase when importing fi les.
Additional information : when playing, audio
files are automatically displayed w ith any add i­
tional information that is stored (such as the ar­
tist, track and album cover). If this information is
not available o n the storage medium, the MMI
will check the Grace note metadata database .
Media
However, in some cases, the additional informa­
tion may not be displayed.

tings

the various capacities. Audio CDs or video DVDs
with copy protection, CDs/DVDs that do not con­
form to the standard and mult isess ion CDs may
