Media

Media
General information
There may be different media sources and con-
nections available depending on the vehicle
equipment. 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 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 > page 237.
Digital Rights Management: please note that
the audio/video files are subject to copyright pro-
tection.
Files that are protected by DRM and are identi-
fied with the symbol f@ will not play.
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.

C@) Note
Read the information about Audi connect, and
be sure to note the connectivity costs section
=@ in General information on page 187.
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 226.
@) 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
Applies to: vehicles with a DVD drive
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.
