Bluetooth™
Bluetooth enables a wireless connection between a
mobile phone and the MMI system.
The mobile phone 3) must be bonded to the on-board phone
system in the vehicle (only has to be done once). This proce-
dure involves various steps, depending on the mobile
phone you are using. After you switch on the ignition, you
have 5 minutes to connect your mobile phone to the on-
board phone system (while the vehicle is stationary).
– Make sure that no other mobile phone is connected to
the on-board phone system via Bluetooth.
– Switch on the ignition and the MMI (if not already acti-
vated).
– Select the appropriate menu option on your mobile
phone to search for Bluetooth compatible devices
(phone pre-installation).– Connect the mobile phone to the on-board phone
system. Your on-board phone system will use the name
“Audi UHV” when it connects with the mobile phone.
– Enter the PIN for handsfree mode (“1234”) on the on-
board phone system within 30 seconds.
– Wait until your mobile phone indicates that it has
bonded. The Bluetooth symbol fig. 14 will appear
on the MMI display.
You should change the PIN for handsfree mode to prevent unauthor-
ised use of your mobile phone page 101.
Up to four mobile phones
You can bond up to four mobile phones to the on-board phone
system. However, it is only possible to activate one connection at a
time. If you bond a fifth mobile phone to the on-board phone
system, the system will delete the device which has not been used
for the longest time in conjunction with the on-board phone system.
Connecting and disconnecting
A mobile phone which has been bonded to the on-board phone
system and is ready to operate will be connected automatically
when you switch on the ignition. On some mobile phones you have
to confirm the connection.
The Bluetooth connection is terminated when the key is removed
from the ignition lock.
Range
The Bluetooth connection between the mobile phone and the on-
board phone system is restricted to the interior of the vehicle. The
connection can be susceptible to interference caused by other elec-
tronic devices or obstacles between the devices. For example, the
transmission quality may be affected if you keep your mobile phone
in your jacket pocket.
3)Please make sure that the mobile phone you are bonding supports the
Hands-Free Profile.

Note
•If you use mobile phones in the vehicle this can generate electro-
magnetic fields.
−For this reason, you should always operate mobile phones
with an external aerial. This also applies to mobile phones used
in Bluetooth mode. The external aerial directs the electromag-
netic fields to the exterior, which reduces the field strength in the
vehicle interior.
−If retrofitting an external aerial, please ensure that it is
installed correctly.
•For more information on how to bond your mobile phone, please
refer to the mobile phone operating instructions.
•For up-to-date information on the phone pre-installation, please
ask an Audi dealer or specialist retailer.
Applies to vehicles: with phone pre-installation
Phone book entries
The phone book entries on your SIM card and your mobile
phone directory are automatically stored in the on-board
phone system.
Loading the phone book entries
The phone book entries will be loaded into the on-board phone
system automatically when you switch on the ignition (if the mobile
phone supports this function). It may take several minutes to load
the entries, depending on how many entries are stored on the
mobile phone.
The last four phone books loaded into the on-board phone system
remain stored there. When you link a fifth mobile phone to the on-
board phone system, the phone book from the mobile phone which
has not been used for the longest time is deleted from the on-board
system. Up to 1000 phone book entries per phone book can be
stored in the memory.
Using the mobile phone again later
If the SIM card is identical, the phone book entries are already
stored in the on-board phone system. You can use the phone book
almost immediately.
The system automatically checks the phone book entries in the
background and will update the memory if the entries have
changed.
Displaying the phone book entries
The phone book entries are displayed in alphabetical order together
with a category symbol fig. 15, e.g. SIM card, private, business,
mobile phone or telephone symbol.
Note
•Which phone book entries are displayed on the MMI will depend
on the mobile phone you are using.
•In certain cases, phone book entries from a mobile phone may
not be transmitted in alphabetical order. If more than 1000 phone
book entries exist, entries with certain initial letters may not appear
on the MMI.

Bluetooth car telephone kit 24
Bluetooth car telephone kit
Applies to vehicles: with Bluetooth car telephone kit
Introduction
The car telephone kit has a universal interface, which
means that different types of mobile phone can be
connected using Bluetooth technology.
The car telephone kit is approved for use in GSM 900 and GSM 1800
networks. The functionality of SIM cards for UMTS networks may be
limited in certain circumstances.
Bluetooth profiles
Bluetooth devices use profiles to communicate with each other. The
SIM Access Profile and the Hands-Free Profile are used to exchange
data between Bluetooth phones and the car telephone kit. Please
check which profiles are supported by your mobile phone.
Mobile phones which support both the Hands-Free Profile and the
SIM Access Profile can use all of the telephone functions on the car
telephone kit. These telephone functions are appended with the text
“Mobile phone with SIM Access Profile” in this Operating Manual.
Mobile phones which support only the Hands-Free Profile cannot
use all of the telephone functions on the car telephone kit. These
telephone functions are appended with the text “Mobile phone with
Hands-Free Profile” in this Operating Manual.
Mobile phone with SIM Access Profile
SIM Access Profile means that a car telephone kit can access the SIM
card on a Bluetooth-capable mobile phone via a Bluetooth connec-
tion.
You can use your mobile phone's SIM card, phone book and tele-
phone functions on the car telephone kit as long as your mobile
phone is fully compatible with the car telephone kit. Telephone calls
are directed via the external aerial. This reduces the radiation inside
the vehicle and improves the quality of the telephone connection.Handset* for the car telephone kit
If your vehicle is equipped with a car telephone kit and handset*,
you can insert a SIM card in the handset*. Alternatively, you can
bond a mobile phone (with SIM Access Profile) to the car telephone
kit and use the mobile phone's SIM card functions on the handset*.
Please refer to page 27 for information on how to set up the
system.
Mobile phone with Hands-Free Profile
Hands-Free Profile means that a mobile phone can be connected to
the car telephone kit via Bluetooth. The handsfree system on the car
telephone kit can then be used to make phone calls. Not all of the
telephone functions on your car telephone kit will be available.
Please refer to page 28 for information on how to set up the
system.
The external car aerial is not used. The handset* cannot be used.
The following can be used for operation
•MMI* page 87
•Handset* for the car telephone kit page 30
•Multi-function steering wheel* page 132
•Speech dialogue system* page 169 or telephone speech
control system* page 160
WARNING
•Always place the handset* back into the carrier after use.
Otherwise, you could place yourself or others at risk when braking
or during an accident.
•Health organisations recommend keeping a minimum distance
of 15 centimetres between an activated handset* and a pace-
maker to avoid interference between the two units.

Phone book entries
The phone book entries on your SIM card and your mobile
phone directory are automatically stored on the MMI
system.
Loading the phone book entries
The phone book entries will be loaded into the MMI automatically
when you switch on the ignition (if the mobile phone supports this
function). It may take several minutes to load the entries, depending
on how many entries are stored on the mobile phone.
The last four phone books loaded into the MMI memory remain
stored there. When you link a fifth mobile phone to the car tele-
phone kit, the phone book from the mobile phone which has not
been used for the longest time is deleted from the MMI. Up to 1255
phone book entries per phone book can be stored in the memory.
Reconnecting a mobile phone
If the SIM card is the same as before, the phone book will appear on
the MMI after a short time.
The MMI automatically checks the phone book entries in the back-
ground and will update the memory if the entries have changed.
Displaying the phone book entries
The phone book entries are displayed in alphabetical order together
with a category symbol fig. 21, e.g. SIM card, private, business,
mobile phone or telephone symbol.
Note
•Which phone book entries are displayed on the MMI will depend
on the mobile phone you are using.
•If the SIM card is in the handset page 31, only the SIM card
entries will be displayed.
•In certain cases, phone book entries from a mobile phone may
not be transmitted in alphabetical order. If there are too many
phone book entries, entries with certain initial letters may not be
displayed on the MMI system.

network service provider together with the SIM card.
WARNING
Always keep the SIM card out of reach of young children; it is rela-
tively small and could possibly be swallowed.
Caution
•The handset and the SIM card can be damaged if care is not
taken.
−Please do not use force when sliding the SIM card into the slot.
−When inserting the SIM card, make sure it is in the correct
position.
•There are many different telephone SIM cards available on the
market, so it cannot be guaranteed that every card will function properly. The old type of SIM card (5V technology) can no longer be
used. If you have this type of SIM card, please contact your mobile
network service provider to obtain a replacement (with 3V tech-
nology). Never attempt to operate your telephone with an incompat-
ible SIM card, as this can cause damage to the card or your tele-
phone.
•The SIM card contacts can be easily damaged by scratches or
bending. For this reason, handle the SIM card with care.
Note
•When using a twin card please follow the recommendations of
your provider. Otherwise, you may experience connection problems
and callers may not be able to reach you.
•You can also enter the PIN and PUK using the MMI page 88.
•If you are using a twin card in the handset, you should activate
the PIN query page 98. The SIM card in the vehicle is then only
activated when you enter the PIN.
