Description

devices is available on the Internet at www.audi.de or from any Audi
dealer.

These supplementary instructions contain important information
and instructions for using the Bluetooth® adapter (referred to
henceforth as adapter). Ensure that these supplementary instruc­tions are kept in the vehicle at all times. This is particularly impor­tant if you lend or sell your vehicle.

WARNING

• Driving on roads today requires your full attention at all times.

As a driver, you have full responsibility for safety on the road. Only
operate the MMI system when the traffic situation permits it and
in such a way that you retain full control of your vehicle at all times

- Risk of accident!

• The volume settings for the audio systems should be selected

so that external acoustic signals such as police and fire engine
sirens can be heard clearly at all times – Risk of accident!

Operation 5

After connecting the Bluetooth® adapter to the Audi music inter­face, the blue LED in the adapter flashes with a low frequency during
the search for Bluetooth® devices. Before music can be played, your
A2DP-compatible end device must be connected to the adapter via
the Bluetooth® connection. Consult the operating instructions for
your A2DP-compatible end device to find out how to carry out the
connecting process (mobile phone or MP3 player). Connection must
take place in accordance with the instructions provided in this docu­ment and the operating status of the end device to be connected.
The access code, passkey or PIN is “1234”. Following connection
and a short initialization phase, the A2DP central menu appears
with the name of the end device in the title line of the MMI display.
If the Bluetooth® connection has been made correctly, the blue LED
lights up constantly in the Bluetooth® adapter.

Note

• If several A2DP-compatible end devices are located in the

vehicle, the Bluetooth® adapter connects with the end device which
was most recently connected. If necessary, confirm the connection
to the end device.

• The Bluetooth

®

adapter puts the end device in Play mode and
the end device starts to play automatically. While the track is
playing, the blue LED in the adapter flashes with a high frequency.
While an A2DP-compatible end device is connected to the Blue­tooth® adapter, the adapter is hidden from other Bluetooth®
devices.

• If the track is only played on the connected end device, the track

can be transferred manually to the MMI by selecting Forced Audio
Connect ⇒ page 5.

• When using further functions of the connected A2DP-compatible

end device, e.g. when transmitting large data quantities to another
Bluetooth-enabled end device, the audio transmission my be
impaired. If this happens, stop the transmission!

Operation

MMI
