Introduction
A mobile phone can be connected to the on-board phone
system and operated via the MMI control console, the
multi-function steering wheel or the speech control
system.
The phone pre-installation is located in the centre armrest. A special
mobile phone adapter is needed in order to connect your mobile
phone to this interface
page 20. Mobile phone adapters are avail-
able from Audi dealers or specialist retailers.
You can operate your mobile phone using the MMI control console

page 87, the multi-function steering wheel*
page 132, the
speech dialogue system*
page 169 or the telephone speech
control system*
page 160. You can also use the talk button *
on the mobile phone adapter to answer and end a call.
When your mobile phone is in the mobile phone adapter, call
signals are sent and received via the external car aerial. This ensures
good transmission quality and reduces radiation emissions in the
interior of the vehicle.
WARNING
•Please note that persons should maintain a minimum distance
of 15 cm from the aerial as prescribed by the certification regula-
tions for mobile high frequency transmission devices.
•Please direct your full attention to the road at all times! As the
driver, you have full responsibility for the safety of the vehicle and
other road users. For this reason, you should only use the func-
tions in a manner that allows you to maintain control of the
vehicle in all situations - accident risk!
•The speech dialogue system*
page 169 and the telephone
speech control system*
page 160 must not be used in cases of
emergency, since the voice changes in stressful situations. This
could result in a failed or delayed telephone connection. Always
dial emergency numbers manually!
Caution
•Always obey the laws regulating the use of telephones in vehi-
cles.
•Always switch off your telephone in areas where using mobile
phones is prohibited.
•Switch off the telephone in all areas where there may be a risk of
explosion. Remember that these areas may not always be
adequately marked. Such places are filling stations, fuel and chem-
ical storage facilities or transport vehicles and other places where
fumes, chemicals (e.g. from leaking propane or fuel vapours in vehi-
cles or buildings) or large quantities of dust particles (e.g. from flour
or wood) could accumulate in the air. This warning also applies to
all other places where you would normally switch off your engine.
Note
•In order to use the telephone functions, your mobile phone must
be compatible with the phone pre-installation in the vehicle, and the
functions must be supported by your service provider.
•For up-to-date information on the phone pre-installation, please
ask an Audi dealer or specialist retailer.

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.

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.
