Media
Introduction
There are various media drives and connections
avai lable in the MMI. For example, you can play
audio/video* fi les 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 al l.
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
