About this book4
About this book
Equipment and illustrations
This boo k de scr ibes the equipment range specified for this model at
the editorial deadline date as indicated on the inside of the back
cover. Individual items of equipment may not yet be available at the
time of printing or may only be offered in certain countries.
The illustrations are designed as schematic images. Some of the
details on your vehicle may therefore look slightly different than
illustrated in this manual.
Structure of the book
The contents are systematically structured in a color-coded layout
to make it easier to locate specific topics and understand them.
Chapters, Table of Contents and Index
The contents of the book are divided into relatively small sections
that are summarized in clearly arranged chapters (e.g. “System
Operation”). To make it easier to use the book, we have identified
the individual chapters with the color codes from the Audi Navigation System. Each color code is shown in the bottom margin of the
chapter as well as in the headings and illustrations.
In front of each chapter, icons shaded with the background color
code of that specific section help to make the book more attractive
and also serve to differentiate the fonts and facilitate navigation.
The Table of Contents, organized into chapters, and the detailed
Index at the end of the b ook hel p you to quickly find the information
you need.
Sections
The information in most sections apply to all vehicles. However,
since the equipment level is not the same on all vehicles, this book
also contains sections which may not apply to your particular
vehicle. When this is the case, the section will be identified, for
example: “Applies to vehicles: with Audi cd changer”. This way, you
only have to read the sections which are applicable to your vehicle.
Although the information has been grouped into the appropriate
sections, there are many possible equipment combinations which
may be described in this book, but not installed on your vehicle.
These are listed as optional equip ment and marked with an asterisk
“*”.
® Registered trademarks are marked with ®. The absence of this
symbol does not warrant unrestricted use of a term.
£ The paragraph continues on the next page.
Ð The square marks the end of a paragraph.
Heading summaries and step-by-step
instructions
Each section has its own heading.
Then follows a summary (in large, italic print), which tells you the
subject matter of the section.
Under an illustration you will find step-by-step instructions (in rela-
tively large print), which tell you what you must do. Each instruction
is identified with a dash.
A descriptive section offering important and continuing information for each topic follows.
Special symbols in this book
Several symbols are used in this book. These symbols draw your
attention to important information about a number of special
subjects. Please familiarize yourself with the symbols and what they

The broad range of equipment in the Audio Navigation System
provides a wealth of potential entertainment and a wide variety of
information in addition to navigation.
Carry out your settings in the Navigation System only when the
vehicle is stationary. Avoid using the Navigation System while you
are driving so that you can devote your full attention to traffic. Use
the controls on the multi-function steering wheel*
you are driving.

Anti-theft coding
General
Effective safety measures in conjunction with the PIN
prevent misuse of the equipment by unauthorized
parties.
The electronic lock-up is operational, if:
· the Navigation System is removed from the vehicle,
· the Navigation System is disconnected from the vehicle current
supply,
· the battery is disconnected or
· the electric fuse for the Navigation System is blown.
If the anti-theft coding has locked up the Navigation Syst em for one
of the reasons given, the speller display for entering the PIN
Þ page 14, fig. 6 appears after the Navigation System is switched
on.
After that, the Navigation System can only be operated again only
by entering the correct PIN.
This PIN is attached to the equipment card along with the equip-
ment number.
The PIN can be used for your equipment alone and cannot be
changed.
Note
The “equipment card” should be removed and kept in a safe place under no circumstances should it be kept in the vehicle. This makes
the Audi Navigation System unusable by thieves.
Applies to vehicles: with convenience coding
User-friendly radio coding
After the PIN is entered the first time, t he Navigatio n System gets to
know its vehicle.
If the power supply was interrupted, the Navigation System checks
to see whether it is still its vehicle. If it is, the Navigation System is
ready for use again after a few seconds.
It is no longer necessary to manually disable the electronic lock!
However, if the Navigation System is installed in another vehicle,
the electronic lock must be cancelled by entering the PIN
Þ page 14.

Entering PIN
Fig. 6 Speller display: Entering PIN
– Switch the ignition on.
– Switch the Navigation System on if it is not switched on
automatically Þ page 11.
– Enter the PIN using the speller Þ fig. 6.
– Confirm your entry with OK. The electronic lock is
cancelled.
Yo u ha ve two attempts to enter the correct PIN. The number of
attempts is shown in the display. If you enter the incorrect PIN twice
in succession, the message System is locked appears in the display.
Unlocking the system (unlocking procedure)
Before you can enter the PIN again, the electronic lock must be
cancelled. This happens automatically wh en t he Na vig ati on S yste m
has been switched on for about 60 minutes. If you do not insert the
ignition key into the lock, the Navigation System switches off automatically after 30 minutes. When the Navigation System switches
off automatically or is switched off, the unlocking process is
cancelled and has to be started over.
When the unlocking process is complete, you have two more
attempts to enter the correct PIN. If you enter the incorrect PIN
again twice in succession, the procedure must be repeated.
Tips
If you lose your PIN, contact an Audi dealership or authorized
facility.

Tips
Vehicles with a BOSE sound system in conjunction with
an AudioPilot do not have a DSP function. In this case your vehicle
is equipped with dynamic noise compensation
Applies to vehicles: with BOSE sound system in conjunction with AudioPilot
Þ page 94.
Dynamic noise compensation
Vehicles with a BOSE sound system in conjunction with AudioPilot
are equipped with dynamic noise compensation.
Dynamic noise compensation automatically adjust music playback
so that the music is not drowned out by noise. No matter what kind
of ambient noise you have in the vehicle, the music playback level
remains the same.
Dynamic noise compensation takes account of both temporary and
permanent ambient noise.
How does dynamic noise compensation work?
A microphone in the vehicle interior detects both the noise level of
the music playback and intrusive noises. The intrusive noises are
digitally analyzed and evaluated. The system simultaneously
ensures that the music playback level is increased by the frequencies affected by intrusive noise so that music playback remains at a
constant level for good listening.
Tips
In the event of a malfunction in the AudioPilot system, a gong signal
sounds three times to alert you after the Navigation System is
turned on. Have the AudioPilot system inspected by a qualified
dealership.

reduced automatically to a level set at the factory. If the volume is
too low when the radio is turned on, it will be increased automatically to a level set at the factory.
