Introduction
Applies to: vehicles with telephone
You can operate various telephone functions easi-
ly through the MMI in your vehicle.
Depending on the country and the vehicle equip-
ment, the following options may be available:
— Connecting a cell phone with Bluetooth
— Using two telephones
— Using the Audi phone box
ZA WARNING
— Medical experts warn that mobile devices
can interfere with the function of pacemak-
ers. Always maintain a minimum distance of
about 7.9 inches (20 cm) between the mo-
bile device antennas and the pacemaker.
— Do not carry the mobile device in a pocket
directly over the pacemaker when the
phone is switched on.
— Switch the mobile device off immediately
if you suspect it may be interfering with
the pacemaker.
— Do not use the voice recognition system*
= page 123 in emergencies because your
voice may change in stressful situations. The
system may take longer to dial the number
or may not be able to dial it at all. Dial the
emergency number manually.
— Switch your mobile device off in areas where
there is a risk of an explosion. These loca-
tions are not always clearly marked. This
may include gas stations, fuel and chemical
storage facilities or transport vehicles, or lo-
cations where fuel vapors (such as propane
or gasoline vapor in vehicles or buildings),
chemicals or large quantities of dust parti-
cles (such as flour, sawdust or metal) may
be present in the air. This also applies to all
other locations where you would normally
turn your vehicle engine off.
— The demands of traffic require your full at-
tention. Always read the chapter
=> page 111, Traffic safety information.
CG) Note
Read the information about Audi connect, and
be sure to note the connectivity costs section
=> page 142.
G@) Tips

After connecting successfully
Information about the connected profiles will ap-
pear. You can also change the profiles later
=> page 192.

in the MMI. This process can take several mi-
nutes, depending on the number of contacts.
Depending on your cell phone and the connection
type, you can use the following functions:
Handsfree
Requirement: your cell phone must be connected
to the MMI via a Bluetooth Hands Free Profile
(Bluetooth HFP).

@) Note
Read the information about Audi connect, and
be sure to note the connectivity costs section
=> page 142.
@) Tips
— You can apply additional settings to con-
nected mobile devices using the Connection
manager > page 190.
— You can also search for the MMI on your mo-
bile device using the Bluetooth device
search.
— You only have to pair your device one time.
Bluetooth devices that are already paired
automatically connect to the MMI when the
Bluetooth function is switched on, when
they are within range, and when the ignition
is switched on. The last connected mobile
device is given first priority.
— Pay attention to any system prompts dis-
played on your cell phone, for example if
the system should connect automatically in
the future. Depending on the cell phone,
you may also need to download the directo-
ry and confirm access to your text messages
separately.
130
— When leaving the vehicle, the Bluetooth
connection to the mobile device will auto-
matically disconnect. Depending on your
mobile device, phone calls in progress may
be automatically redirected from the MMI
to your mobile device so that you can con-
tinue the call on your phone.
Using two telephones
Applies to: vehicles with telephone and Audi phone box
You can connect two cell phones to the MMI, for
example your business cell phone as the primary
phone and your private cell phone as the secon-
dary phone. You can be reached in your vehicle
through both cell phones.
The first connected cell phone is displayed as the
primary phone in the MMI. The second cell phone
is connected as the secondary phone.
The directory from the connected primary phone
will always be displayed. If you would like to use
the directory from the secondary phone, you
must switch the primary and secondary phone
> page 131.
Connecting a cell phone as the primary
phone
> Connect your cell phone to the MMI via Blue-
tooth. The first connected cell phone is dis-
played as the Primary phone in the MMI.
See > page 129, Connecting a cell phone via
Bluetooth.
Connecting a cell phone as the secondary
phone
Requirement: a cell phone must be connected to
the MMI as the primary phone.
> Select: [MENU] button > Telephone > right con-
trol button > Connect secondary telephone.
See = page 129, Connecting a cell phone via
Bluetooth.

the primary phone or secondary phone in
the Connection manager > page 190.
— You can also make your connected cell
phone the default phone by selecting Set as
default telephone in the Connection man-
ager > page 192.
— The device name of the connected primary
phone is shown in the Telephone menu
(such as myPhone).
— If the primary phone does not connect auto-
matically to the MMI when the ignition is
switched on, for example because it is out
of the vehicle range or the Bluetooth func-
tion is switched off, then a previously paired
secondary phone is automatically connected
as the primary phone.
— You can send and receive messages on your
primary phone as well as on your secondary
phone > page 133, fig. 132. You do not
need to switch your primary phone and sec-
ondary phone for this.
