4About this book
About this book
Equipment and illustrations
This book describes 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 book help 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 equipment 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.
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 relatively 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 mean.

WARNING
Text with this symbol contains information about safety and how to reduce the risk of serious personal injury or death.
Warning texts are the most important. Throughout this book you will find a double arrow followed by a warning symbol. This will refer you to a warning at the end of the section. You should pay particular attention to this warning.

To prevent damage to the Navigation System, no foreign bodies should be introduced into the DVD navigation drive or into the MP3
card reader.
Overview 13
Tips
You can find information about the different drives starting on
page 34. 
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 System for one of the reasons given, the speller display for entering the PIN
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 equipment 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, the Navigation 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
page 14.

14 Overview
Entering PIN
Fig. 6 Speller display: Entering PIN
–Switch the ignition on.
–Switch the Navigation System on if it is not switched on automatically page 11.
–Enter the PIN using the speller fig. 6.
–Confirm your entry with OK. The electronic lock is cancelled.
Unlocking the system (unlocking procedure)
Before you can enter the PIN again, the electronic lock must be cancelled. This happens automatically when the Navigation System 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. 
You have 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.

If you activate the function button within a main function, the system will automatically jump to the main menu of that main function.
In Navigation “Home function” depends on the route guidance selected: If you have activated route guidance with stopovers, you go to the menu for route planning by pressing the function button again page 139, fig. 146. If you have activated route guidance without stopovers page 139, you go to the main navigation menu (singe destination mode) by pressing the function button again. 
History function
The system recalls the previous settings.
When a function button is pressed, the system will switch to the most recently accessed menu level for the specific main function. This includes any sublevels that were opened. This excludes Setup menus.
The history memory is erased when the system moves into standby mode.
An example: You are currently on the Tuning radio menu and switch to the navigation menu by pushing the 
button. If you press the 
button at this time, you will not jump to the main radio menu, but directly to the Tuning radio menu.

Multi-function steering wheel
Applies to vehicles: with multi-function steering wheel
General
The multi-function steering wheel enables quick and easy operation of selected systems on the Navigation System.
To minimize driver distraction when operating the Navigation System and its components, buttons for controlling basic audio functions are placed on the multi-function steering wheel. However, this applies only if your vehicle equipment was installed at the factory.
Depending on the multi-function steering wheel in your vehicle, you can use audio functions.
You use the buttons to operate the function that is active at the time. For example, if you are listening to the radio, you can select the last/next station from the station list using the or button on the multi-function steering wheel with audio controls*.
The volume can be adjusted in each active function.
Of course, you can continue to use the audio functions from the Navigation System.
Tips
If systems have not been installed in the vehicle, the button on the multi-function steering wheel* assigned to that system is inoperative.
