ZA\ WARNING
—To reduce the risk of an accident, only use
Audi connect services and the Wi-Fi hotspot
only if the traffic situation permits it. Read
and follow the guidelines provided in
= page 111, Traffic safety information.
— It is only safe to use tablets, laptops, mobile
devices and other similar devices when the

ous injuries. Store these types of devices se-
curely while driving. Also read the warnings
in the chapter > page 52.
©) Note
— Applies to: use of separate SIM card in the
SIM card reader or SIM card in the Wi-Fi de-
vice via personal hotspot: If you use your
own SIM card, all data connections for all
Audi connect Infotainment services will run
through your SIM card. This could result in
additional costs, depending on your cell
phone service provider and especially when
using in other countries. A flat rate data
plan is strongly recommended. You can ob-
tain more information from your cell phone
service provider.
— In certain situations, the Wi-Fi hotspot data
connection may be established as a replace-
ment for the SIM card on your Wi-Fi device.
This feature depends on the configuration
of your Wi-Fi device and operating system.
This could result in fees depending on your
cell phone service provider, especially if you
are using this feature while abroad. A flat
rate data plan is strongly recommended. For
142
more information, contact your cell phone
service provider or refer to the owner's man-
ual for your Wi-Fi device.

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.

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.

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
