Media

Media
General information
There may be different media drives and connec-
tions available depending on the vehicle equip-
ment. For example, you can play media files us-
ing the SD card reader or connect your mobile de-
vices 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 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.
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.

tain distance driven, a message appears in the
instrument cluster display each time the igni-
tion is switched on or off. The remaining dis-
tance or time is displayed briefly.
— Inspection or oil change due: If your vehicle is
due for an inspection or oil change or both, a
message appears briefly in the instrument clus-
ter display when switching the ignition on or
off: Inspection due! or Oil change due! or Oil
change and inspection due!.

til the next oil change or next inspection in the
Infotainment system.
Select on the home screen: VEHICLE > Settings
