Introduction
There are various media drives and connections
available in the MMI. You can play , for example,
audio/video files from the Jukebox* or connect
your mobile device to the Audi music 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 with restrictions or may not
play at all.
Digital Rights Management: please note that
t he audio/video files are subject to copyright pro
tection .
The media drives do not play files that are pro
tected by ORM and that are identified with the
symbol
!'.TI.
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/folders/playlists
that are on a storage medium, the longer it will
take to load the audio/video files* . Audi recom
mends using storage media tha t only contain au
dio/video files* . To decrease the time it takes to
load audio/video files*, create subfolders (for ex
ample , for the artist or album). The loading time
will also increase when importing files.
Additional information: when playing, audio
files are automatically displayed with any addi
tional information that is stored (such as the ar
tist, track and album cover).
If this information is
not available on the storage medium, the MMI
will check the Grace note metadata database.

tion may not be displayed.
