Introduction 
There  are various  media  drives  and  connections 
avai lable  in the  MMI. For example,  you  can  play 
audio/video  files* from  the  Jukebox* or  connect 
your  mobile  device  to  the  Audi mus ic interface* 
and  operate  it through  the  MMI. 
Notes 
General  information 
Media  and format  restrictions: 
the  MMI  (includ
ing the  SD card  reader and  the  USB storage  de
vice connection*)  was  tested  with  a variety  of  products  and  media  on  the  market.  However, 
there  may  be  cases  where  individual  devices  or  media  and  audio/video  files* may  not  be  recog
nized,  may  play only w ith  restrictions  or  may  not 
play at  all. 
Digital  Rights  Management: please  note  that 
the  audio/video  files* are  subject  to  copyright 
protection . 
The media  drives  do  not  play fi les  that  are  pro
tected  by ORM and  that  are  ident ified  with  the 
symbol 
l'.D . 
Data  security: never  store  important  data on SD 
cards,  the  Jukebox*,  CDs/DVDs or  mobile  devices . 
Audi AG is not  responsible for  damaged  or  lost 
files  and  media . 
Loading times : the  more  files/fo lders/play lists 
that  are  on a storage  medium,  the  longer it will 
take  to  load  the  audio/video  files* . Audi  recom
mends  using  storage  media  that  only contain  au
dio/video  files*. To  decrease  the  t i me  it takes  to 
load  audio/v ideo  files*, create  subfolders  (for  ex
ample,  fo r the  art ist  or  album).  The  loading  time 
will  also  increase  when  importing  fi les. 
Additional  information : when  playing,  audio 
files  are  automatically  displayed  w ith  any add i
tional  information  that  is stored  (such  as  the  ar
tist,  track  and  album  cover). If this  information  is 
not  available  o n the  storage  medium,  the MMI 
will  check  the Grace note  metadata  database . 
Media 
However,  in some  cases,  the additional  informa
tion  may  not  be displayed. 
Restricted functionality : reset the Media  set
tings

ity is restr icted  ¢
