— Read the operating manuals for the con- 
nected devices. 
—To reduce the risk of damage to the vehicle 
electrical system, never attempt to charge 
the vehicle battery by connecting accesso- 
ries that provide power to the power sour- 
ces. 
— Do not connect any device whose network 
class (voltage) does not match the network

phone box with connections 
You can charge your mobile device battery using 
the Audi phone box. You can make calls through 
the exterior antenna* on the vehicle. Using the 
external antenna* helps when there is a low sig- 
nal and also provides better reception quality. 
The options below are available: 
— Connecting to the external vehicle antenna*: 
Lay the cell phone with the display facing up on 
the cell phone symbol in the Audi phone box 
=> fig. 131. Make sure there are no objects be- 
tween the Audi phone box and the mobile de- 
vice. 
— Charge a cell phone wirelessly: Place a Qi-capa- 
ble »  cell phone centered on the symbol in the 
Audi phone box  with the display facing up 
=> fig. 131. The cell phone will charge. 
— Charge a cell phone using the USB adapter: 
Connect your cell phone to the Audi music in- 
terface using a USB adapter @). You can charge 
your mobile device using specific USB adapters 
=> page 176, fig. 153.

hicle interior during sudden driving or brak- 
ing maneuvers, which increases the risk  of 
an accident. Store objects securely while 
driving. >

— The mobile device may become hot during 
wireless charging. Pay attention to the tem- 
perature of your mobile device and be care- 
ful when removing it from the Audi phone 
box. 
—An alternating magnetic field is used for 
wireless charging. Maintain a minimum dis- 
tance of approximately 2.4 in (6 cm) to the 
Audi phone box charging plate. The  thresh- 
olds for prolonged exposure at this distance 
comply with ICNIRP1998. Therefore, inter- 
actions such as irritation of sensory organs, 
malfunctions of active implants (such as 
pacemakers, infusion pumps, or neurosti- 
mulators) or effects on passive implants 
(such as prosthetic limbs) is highly unlikely. 
If you have an implant, consult a medical 
specialist if you have any questions.

Media 
  
Media 
Introduction 
There are various media drives and connections 
available in the MMI. You can play, for example, 
audio/video files from the Jukebox* or connect 
your mobile device to the Audi music interface* 
and operate it through the MMI. 
Notes 
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. 
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 that are identified with the 
symbol fi. 
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/folders/playlists 
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 time it takes to 
load audio/video files*, create subfolders (for ex- 
ample, for the artist or album). The loading time 
will also increase when importing files. 
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. 
170 
However, in some cases, the additional informa- 
tion may not be displayed. 
Restricted functionality: reset the Media set- 
tings to the factory default settings if functional- 
ity is restricted > page 190. 
If functionality is restricted, reset the Jukebox* to 
the factory default settings > page 190. 
For information about the properties of support- 
ed media and file formats, see > page 183. 
@) Note 
Always follow the information found in >@ in 
General information on page 142. 
CD/DVD operation 
CD/DVD and format restrictions: the functionali- 
ty of individual storage media 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 con- 
form to the standard, and multisession CDs may 
have limited playback or may not play at all. Audi 
recommends finalizing the recording  process 
when creating multisession CDs. Multisession 
DVDs are not supported. 
Using CDs/DVDs, the CD drive or the DVD drive: 
to ensure correct, high-quality playback and to 
prevent damage to the drive or disc reading er- 
rors, always store CDs/DVDs in a protective 
sleeve and do not expose them to direct sunlight. 
Do not use: 
— Damaged, dirty or scratched CDs/DVDs 
— Single CDs/DVDs with 3 in (8 cm) diameter 
— CD/DVDs that are not round 
— CDs/DVDs with labels 
— Protective rings 
— Cleaning CDs 
Thermal protection switch: CD/DVD playback 
may be temporarily unavailable if outside tem- 
peratures 
are extremely hot or cold. A thermal 
protection switch is installed to protect the 
CD/DVD and the laser. 
Laser devices: laser devices are divided into safe- 
ty classes 1 to 4 in accordance with DIN IEC 76 >
