Tips
• Please note that this manual only describes MMI components.
You can find additional information on operating your vehicle in your
vehicle Owner's Manual.
• On vehicles with right-hand drive steering*, the layout of the
controls differs somewhat from what is shown here ⇒ page 6, fig. 1.
The symbols for the controls are the same.
MMI: Multi Media Interface
The Audi Multi Media Interface, or MMI for short,
combines various communication and entertainment
systems in your Audi.
Through the MMI, you can listen to the radio and CDs and connect
portable audio devices*. The MMI also has two memory card readers
and an internal hard drive where you can store your favorite music.
The navigation system can guide you to your destination using the
shortest route, or you can add up to three stopovers. Or you can
follow your own tour plan with up to nine intermediate destinations.
Information about traffic conditions is taken into account during
route guidance. You can also use many of the functions on your cell
phone. The MMI also combines many driver assistance systems in
your vehicle.
There are several ways you can access the wide range of MMI functions in your vehicle. You can access all of the functions through the
MMI control panel with its intuitive controls. You can also comfortably access the MMI functions that you use most frequently through
9
the multifunction steering wheel or voice recognition system.
Traffic safety tips
Audi recommends only performing important functions such as
entering a navigation destination when the vehicle is stationary.
Always remember to stop using the MMI if necessary to ensure your
safety and the safety of other drivers.
WARNING
• Driving requires your complete and undivided attention. As the
driver, you have complete responsibility for safety in traffic. Only
use the MMI system when traffic conditions permit and always in
a way that allows to maintain complete control over your vehicle.
• Adjust the volume of the audio system so signals from outside
the vehicle such as police and fire sirens can be heard easily at all
times.
• Obey all applicable laws regarding use of telephones in
vehicles.

WARNING

Tips
• The Jukebox does not support playlists.
• The more files/folders/playlists are on a medium, the longer it
will take to load the audio files. Audi recommends using storage
mediums that only contain audio files.
• To decrease the time it takes to load audio files, create subfolders
(for example according to artist or album).
• To access audio files as quickly as possible, Audi recommends
using SD cards that are class 4 or higher.
• For compressing MP3 files, Audi recommends a bit rate of at least
160 kbit/s.
• When playing MP3 files with a variable bit rate, there may be a
discrepancy between the play time displayed and real time.
• The MMI drives do not support files protected by DRM.
• The functionality of individual storage mediums may be limited
due to the variety of blank CDs/DVDs available and the various capacities.
• Audio CDs or video DVDs with copy protection or CDs/DVDs that do
not conform to the standard may not play or playback may be limited.
CDs that conform to the standard have the lo go “Compact Disc Digital
Audio” on the CD.
• Multisession CDs may not play or playback may be limited. Audi
recommends finalizing the recording process when creating multisession CDs.
• Specific characters (such a those in ID3 tag information) display
differently depending on the MMI system language and cannot
always be guaranteed.
• Never store important data on the memory cards, Jukebox,
CDs/DVDs or portable audio devices. Audi is not responsible for
damaged or lost files.
• Please note that audio files are subject to copyright laws.

Memory card general information
Both SD and MMC memory cards can be used.
The memory card reader has been tested with many of the products
available on the market. However, in isolated cases it is possible that
individual memory cards may not be recognized.
Always keep the memory card in a suitable case to protect it from
dirt, dust particles and other damage.
Note
Only use one-piece memory cards. If adapter cards (memory cards
with more than one piece) are used, the card could fall out of the
adapter when driving because of vibrations. Individual pieces could
then become stuck in the drive.
Jukebox
Introduction
The MMI is equipped with a Jukebox that has 10 GB of memory available for audio files. Jukebox mode is started and operated through
the MMI ⇒ page 48.
For information on the properties of supported file formats, refer to
⇒ page 9.
Tips
• Please note that music files are subject to copyright law. Reset the
Jukebox to the original default settings when selling your vehicle
⇒ page 38.
• When the vehicle is at an altitude above approximately 3000
meters, the MMI hard drive shuts down temporarily to protect it.
Navigation mode and the Jukebox are not available when that
happens. All of the MMI functions will be available again as usual
once you start the engine again at a location below 3000 meters.

Audio files on a CD/DVD ROM in the CD/DVD drive, a USB
storage device* or a memory card can be imported.
Fig. 4 Importing files

MMI high B8, for internal use only
The Jukebox automatically sorts music files during import into artist,
album, title and genre folders using the stored metad ata (such as ID3
tags).
If the Jukebox does not contain any files, a message appears in the
MMI display with the option Import new tracks. Press the control
knob to enter the import menu.
You can stop the import at any time by selecting Cancel with the
control knob and pressing it. The import will also be cancelled if you
switch off the MMI, remove the source (such as SD/MMC, CD/DVD or
USB) or start the engine during the import. Tracks that have already
been imported remain stored in the Jukebox.
Tips
• Only import audio files when the engine is running.
• Playing and importing audio files in the CD/DVD drive at the same
time can lead to limitations in playback or importing. Audi recommends playing audio files in the CD/DVD drive once the import is
completed successfully.
• Importing from a CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio or typical
store bought CD) Compact disc or DVD-A DVD Disc to the Jukebox is
not supported.
• Importing music files directly from an iPod to the Jukebox is not
supported.
• The Jukebox does not provide an export function due to legal
reasons.
• Files that are already present are automatically overwritten when
importing.
• Files/tracks without stored metadata are listed as unknown. Audi
recommends importing audio files with their accompanying metadata (such as ID3 tags).
