Personalization

Personalization
Users
(ee emul ela)
Applies to: vehicles with personalized user settings
Your vehicle can manage various users in the
MMI. Each user will be assigned the settings that
they last used.
Before you begin driving, you can select a user in
the MMI and load personalized Infotainment and
vehicle
settings.
Possible users in the MMI:
— myAudi user: as a myAudi user, you can use
Audi connect services that require a myAudi ac-
count. Certain settings are transferred online to
your myAudi account. If you log into your
myAudi account in another vehicle, you can
load your settings in the other vehicle.
— Local user: as a local user, you can only store
settings in the current vehicle. Your settings
cannot be transferred to other vehicles. Audi
connect services that can only be used with a
myAudi account will not be available.
— Guest: as a guest, you can store settings in the
vehicle without changing the settings for other
users. Audi recommends only using the guest
user temporarily, because settings can be over-
written by other users.
Depending on vehicle equipment, the following
options may be used to detect the active user so
that the user settings can be loaded automatical-
ly before you start driving.
— Vehicle key
Requirement: the driver's door has been opened.
The detected user must be shown in the MMI.
Confirm the user shown, select another user
= page 27, or add another user > page 27.

ZA WARNING
It may not be possible to load Infotainment
and vehicle settings, or they may only load
partially. The driver is always responsible for
the Infotainment and vehicle settings in order
to reduce the risk of an accident.

@) Tips
— Certain Infotainment and vehicle settings
(such as mirrors, last radio stations) may be
stored, depending on vehicle equipment.
You can find additional information in the
MMI. Select on the home screen: SETTINGS
> General > Legal notes > About Audi con-
nect.
— Applies to: myAudi users: The stored set-
tings can only be transferred to vehicles
that are capable of receiving the transmit-
ted information. There may be restrictions
that prevent this, particularly in other coun-
tries.
— Applies to: myAudi users: The settings can
only be transferred and loaded when there
is coverage from the applicable mobile
phone service provider.
— Applies to: myAudi users with PIN protec-
tion switched on: If the MMI displays a de-
tected user but you simply start driving or
wait without entering the 4-digit PIN, then
the guest user will be selected. Some set-
tings for the detected myAudi user will be
transferred to the guest user.
