Introduction
Your radio system also has a CD function that operates exactly like
a normal CD changer. An audio CD or MP3/WMA CD is inserted in
the CD changer ⇒ page 29. You can also play a SD/MMC memory
card with MP3/WMA files. You can choose individual tracks of a CD
or memory card, play the tracks in any order, or just listen to each
track for a few seconds.
General instructions for CD operation
Fig. 35 CDs that must
not be used
Requirements for good sound quality
To ensure good, high-quality sound reproduction and to prevent
damage to the drives, please observe the following:
• Do not used damaged or scratched CDs .
• Do not use single CDs (8 cm / 3 inch diameter) .
• Do not use CDs of different shapes .
• Do not attach labels .
• Do not use protective rings .
E
• Do not use dirty CDs.
• Do not use a protective CD film or stabilizer.
• Always keep CDs in a protective sleeve and do not expose them
to direct sunlight.
Cleaning drives and CDs
Never use a cleaning CD to clean the drives.
Clean CDs with a soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe the CD in a straight line
from the center outward. Heavy soiling can be removed with a
commercial CD cleaner or isopropyl alcohol. Never use gasoline,
paint thinner, or record cleaner since they can damage the CDs.
Using laser equipment
Laser equipment is divided into safety classes 1 to 4 in accordance
with DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/VDE 0837. The various types of audio equipment installed meet safety class 1. The laser uses so little power or
is shielded so that there is no danger when used properly.

Tips
• Copyrighted CDs or CD-ROMs that do not conform to audio CD
standards cannot be played by your CD drive. Use only CDs having
the following logo on the CD itself “Compact Disc Digital Audio”.
• If outside temperatures are extremely high or low, playback of
the navigation DVD may be temporarily unavailable. A thermal
switch has been installed to protect the navigation DVD and the
laser scanner.
• Do not remove the cover. The device contains no parts that can
be repaired by the consumer.
General information on memory
cards
Both SD and MMC cards can be used as memory cards.
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, scratches, and other damage.
We recommend not saving the music files directly in the main directory of the memory card, but instead, create folders (e.g. put all the
tracks of a particular music style/an artist in one folder).
DRM music formats are not supported!
Note
• Use only single-piece SD/MMC memory cards. If you use
SD/MMC adapter cards (multi-piece memory cards), the memory
card can become detached from the adapter as the result of vibration while driving. There is a possibility that individual pieces may
become stuck in the drive.
• Never store important information on the memory card. Audi
bears no liability for damaged or lost data or files.
Tips
Individual types of memory cards may have limited functions.

Calling
Applies to vehicles: with cell phone package
Introduction
A cell phone is connected to the cell phone package and
operated using the radio system, the multifunction
steering wheel*, or the telephone voice operation.
The cell phone package is located in the center arm rest. You
connect your cell phone using the special cell phone cradle. You can
purchase cell phone cradles from your authorized Audi dealer.
You operate your cell phone using the radio system, the multifunction steering wheel* ⇒ page 50, or the telephone voice operation
⇒ page 58.
The active audio source is muted during an incoming/outgoing call
and the drive is stopped. Muting is indicated by the crossed-out
speaker symbol. After the call is ended, the audio source is restored
to the previous volume level.
A cell phone in the cell phone cradle transmits and receives through
the external vehicle antenna. This ensures good transmission
quality and prevents cell phone electromagnetic fields in the vehicle
interior.
To use the telephone function of your radio system, a cell phone
must be connected to the cell phone package ⇒ page 39.
After switching off the ignition, the system will remain operable
with the cell phone in the cradle for about 30 minutes (switch-off
delay1)).
WARNING
• Make sure that all persons maintain a minimum distance of 6
in (15 cm) from the antenna, in accordance with the certification
guideline for mobile HF transmitters.
• Pay attention first and foremost to your driving! As the driver,
you have total responsibility for operating the vehicle safely.
Therefore, when using the functions, make certain that you have
complete control of your vehicle in all traffic situations!
• The telephone voice operation* should not be used in emergen-
cies, since the voice can change in stressful situations. The result
can be that the desired telephone connection does not go through
under certain circumstances or does not go through quickly
enough. Dial the emergency number manually.
Note
• Observe all applicable laws for making telephone calls in vehi-
cles.
• Switch off your cell phone in areas in which the use of cell
phones is prohibited.
• Switch off your cell phone in locations where there is a danger of
explosion. These locations are not always clearly identified. They
include, for example, filling stations, storage or transportation facilities for fuel or chemicals; locations where there is fuel vapor in the
air (e.g. escaping propane or fuel vapors in vehicles or buildings) or
locations where there are chemicals or large quantities of dust
particles (e.g. from flour or wood) in the air. This also applies to all
other locations where you normally switch off your car's engine.
1)
The switch-off delay can be altered by an authorized Audi dealer.
Calling39

Tips
• The phone functions depend on whether your mobile phone is
compatible with the cell phone package and whether your cell
phone provider supports these functions.
• Reception may be impaired in screened areas, for example, in a
tunnel or an underground parking garage.
• There may be regions without network coverage from cell phone
operators. Your telephone cannot be used in these areas.
• You can find current information about the cell phone package
online at www.audiusa.com/bluetooth or at an authorized Audi
dealer.

Check to be sure the cell phone is properly secured in the cradle.
In an accident, an improperly engaged cell phone can be thrown
from the cradle and injure vehicle occupants.
Note
An improperly secured cell phone can fall out during vehicle operation and be damaged.
Tips
• Placing the cell phone in the cradle will establish the connection
via the interface in the cradle set and disconnect the Bluetooth
connection2).
• Electromagnetic fields can result from using radio devices inside
the vehicle.
− Always operate a radio device using an exterior antenna. This
also applies to radio devices with Bluetooth operation. The exterior antenna directs the electromagnetic fields outside and the
strength of the fields inside the vehicle decreases in comparison
to operation without an exterior antenna.

The cell phone3) must be bonded one time to the cell phone
package in the vehicle. Depending on the cell phone being
used, various steps are required for this procedure. After
switching on the ignition, with the vehicle stationary, you
have five minutes to connect your phone to the cell phone
package.
– Make sure that no other cell phone is connected to the
cell phone package through a Bluetooth connection.
– Switch on the ignition and the radio system.
3)
Please make sure that the cell phone to be bonded supports the hands-free
profile.
– On the cell phone, select the appropriate menu option
that searches for Bluetooth-enabled devices (cell phone
package).
– Connect the cell phone to the cell phone package. Your
cell phone package calls the cell phone using the name
“Audi UHV”.
– Enter “1234” as the Bluetooth PIN for the cell phone
package within 30 seconds.
– Wait until your cell phone displays the message indi-
cating successful bonding. The Bluetooth symbol
1
⇒ fig. 48 appears in the display.
To protect yourself from outside access to your cell phone, you
should change the Bluetooth PIN⇒ page 48.
A maximum of four cell phones
You can connect up to four cell phones to the cell phone package.
However, only one cell phone at a time is actively connected to the
cell phone package. If a fifth cell phone is bonded to the cell phone
package, the device which has not been used in conjunction with
the cell phone package for the longest time is disconnected.
Making and breaking a connection
An operational cell phone which has been bonded to the cell phone
package is automatically connected after the ignition is switched
on. For some cell phones you have to confirm the connection.
The Bluetooth connection is disconnected after the ignition key is
removed unless there is a call in progress.
Range
The Bluetooth connection from cell phone to cell phone package is
limited to the interior of the vehicle. It depends on local conditions,
such as obstacles between the devices, and on interference from
other devices. If your cell phone is in a pocket for example, it can
affect the quality of data transmission.

Telephone voice operation
Telephone voice operation57
Applies to vehicles: with Telephone voice operation
Introduction
Telephone functions can be operated by voice operation.
Functions
In conjunction with hands-free operation it is not necessary to pick
up the cell phone. The telephone voice operation recognizes
commands and number sequences regardless of the person
speaking.
The voice operation offers you the following functions:
• Creating name tags ⇒ page 60
• Entering and dialing a phone number ⇒ page 59
The dialog is ended immediately when an incoming call is received.
Unrecognized voice commands
The systems reacts to your input with audible feedback. If a voice
command is not recognized, the system asks <Pardon?> and asks
you to repeat the command. After the third failed attempt, the
response <Cancel> is given and the dialog is terminated.
For the system to understand you
• Speak clearly and distinctly at a normal volume. Speak louder
when driving faster.
• Stress your statements evenly and do not leave long pauses.
• Do not speak when the voice operation is responding.
• To reduce ambient noise, close the doors, the windows and the
sunroof*. Make sure that passengers are not speaking when you are
giving a voice command.
• Do not direct the air vents toward the hands-free microphone
that is close to the front interior lights.
• Only use the system from the driver's position since the hands-
free microphone is oriented toward that position.
<The Function is not possible>
If the system responds with <Function not possible>, check the
operating status of the telephone voice operation
• Is the key in the ignition?
• Is the cell phone connected to the cell phone package through
Bluetooth?
• Is the cell phone in the cell phone cradle*?
• Is the phone switched on and the PIN entered?
• Are the phone book entries from the cell phone being loaded
into the cell phone package ⇒ page 42?
WARNING
• Please devote your full attention to driving! As the driver, you
hold complete responsibility for safety in traffic. Only use the functions in such a way that you always maintain complete control
over you vehicle in all traffic situations.
• Because the voice can change in stressful situations and it may
not be possible to recognize numbers being said, the voice operation system should not be used in emergencies. The desired telephone connection* may not occur quickly enough or at all under
certain circumstances. Dial the emergency call number manually
in emergencies.

Name tags
Applies to vehicles: with telephone voice operation
Introduction
Name tags are stored in the telephone voice operation
phone book.
General information
The telephone voice operation phone book contains 50 memory
locations. You can use it independently of the cell phone. The
entries are stored in the telephone voice operation phone book.
In the telephone voice operation phone book, you can store spoken
names for entries in the cell phone package phone book. You can
also store spoken names with their corresponding spoken phone
numbers, regardless of the phone book entries in the cell phone
package ⇒ page 61.
If you have stored name tags in the telephone voice operation
phone book, they can be dialed by voice operation.
Entry
You should choose the spoken names so that they can be clearly
recognized by the telephone voice operation.
When entering phone numbers, the numbers ZERO to NINE are
recognized. Enter the telephone numbers as a continuous string of
numbers (complete telephone number), as a sequence of numbers
(separated by short pauses) or by numbers spoken individually.
After each sequence of numbers (separated by a short pause in
speech), the numbers recognized are repeated by the system. The
system does not recognize combinations of numbers, for example,
twenty three, only numbers spoken individually (TWO, THREE).
When TWO is spoken, it is easier for the system to recognize the
number.
If more than 20 numbers are entered, the system responds with
<The number is too long>. A Plus (+) can also be placed in front of
the 20 digits.
