Media
Media
General information
There are various media drives and connections
available in the MMI. For example, you can play
media files using the SD card reader or connect
your mobile devices to the Audi music interface
and operate them through the MMI.
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 available in the market.
However, there may be cases where individual de-
vices or media and audio/video files may not be
recognized, may play only with restrictions, or
may not play at all.
Restricted functionality: reset the Media to the
factory default settings if functionality is restrict-
ed.
Digital Rights Management: please note that
the
audio/video files are subject to copyright pro-
tection.
The media drives do not play files that are pro-
tected by DRM and are identified with the symbol
&.
Data security: never store important data on SD
cards, CDs/DVDs, or mobile devices. Audi AG is
not responsible for damaged or lost files and me-
dia.
Loading times: the more files/folders/playlists
there are on a storage medium, the longer it will
take to load. To reduce the amount of time it
takes the audio/video files to load, use a storage
medium that only contains audio/video files, and
create subfolders (for example, for each artist or
album).
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 Gracenote metadata database.
However, in some cases, the additional informa-
tion may not be displayed.
CG) Note
Read the information about Audi connect, and
be sure to note the connectivity costs section
=@ in General information on page 184.
SD card reader
The SD card reader is in the storage compartment
under the front center armrest.
Inserting the SD card
> The angled corner of the SD card must face to-
ward the right front side when being inserted.
>» Slide the SD card into the card reader slot until
the SD card clicks into place.
The SD card reader is accessed and operated
through the MMI = page 221.
® Note
— Only use one-piece SD cards. If adapter
cards (SD cards with more than one piece)
are used, the card could fall out of the
adapter when driving because of vibrations.
Individual pieces could then become stuck
in the drive and impair the functionality.
—To reduce the risk of damaging drives and
data carriers, always keep data carriers ina
sleeve and never expose them to direct sun-
light.
DVD drive
General information
The functionality of individual storage mediums
may be limited due to the variety of blank CDs/
DVDs available and the various capacities. Audio
CDs or video DVDs with copy protection, CDs/
DVDs that do not conform to the standard, and
multisession CDs may have limited playback or
may not play at all. AUDI AG recommends finaliz-
ing the recording process when creating multi-
session CDs. Multisession DVDs are not support-
ed.

@) Note
— Pull the cable out of the Audi music inter-
face carefully so that the USB ports are not
damaged.
— Use a USB extension cable to connect devi-
ces that have an integrated USB connector

— Do not use an additional adapter cable or
USB extension cable to connect mobile devi-
ces to the Audi music interface that already
have a cable or that must be connected with
a USB adapter cable (> page 220, fig. 153).
Using an additional adapter or US extension
cable may impair functionality.

devices that do not conform to the USB 2.0
specification.
— USB hubs are not supported.
— Video playback through the Audi music in-
terface is not supported on Apple and MTP
devices (such as smartphones).

to your mobile device owner's manual for
more information.
— The USB adapter on the Audi music inter-
face will support iPod touch or iPhone devi-
ces from the 5th generation or newer with

Checking and Filling
Fill the washer fluid for the windshield washer
system and the headlight washer system* when
the ignition is switched off.
@) Note
— The concentration of anti-freezing agent
must be adjusted to the vehicle operating
conditions and the climate. A concentration
that is too high can lead to vehicle damage.

tives to the washer fluid.
— Do not use a glass cleaner that contains
paint solvents, because this could damage
the paint.

cluster display each time the ignition is switch-
ed on or off. The remaining distance or time is
displayed briefly.
— Inspection due: if your vehicle has reached an
inspection interval, the message Inspection
due! appears briefly after the ignition is switch-
ed on and off.
Checking service intervals
You can check the remaining distance or time un-
til the next service.
Applies to: MMI: Select on the home screen: VE-
HICLE > Settings & Service > Service intervals.
Resetting the indicator
An authorized Audi dealer or authorized Audi
Service Facility will reset the service interval dis-
play after performing service.
@) Note
Adhering to the service intervals is critical to
maintaining the service life and value of your
vehicle. Even if the mileage on the vehicle is
low, do not exceed the time for the next serv-
ice.
