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.

Listening to the radio
Introduction
The radio has four wavebands: FM, MW, LW and DAB* (digital radio).
The stations which are currently within reception range are
displayed in a station list and can be selected. Of course you can
tune the radio to the next available station or scan all stations via
the MMI control console. You can store your favourite stations in
any order on a memory list.
FM (very high frequency)
The FM station list (max. 30 stations) is updated automatically. You
can set the station list to display the five radio stations that you listen to most frequently at the top of the station list. Other available
stations will appear further down the list
fig. 43.
Radio stations that appear in grey lettering cannot be selected as
they are not within reception range.
Medium and long wave (MW/LW band)
The MW and LW station lists (max. 30 stations) must be updated
manually
page 54, fig. 46.
When you leave the range of reception the stations in the station
lists will still be displayed, but the reception will be poor.
Digital radio* (DAB frequency)
If you are listening to “Digital Audio Broadcasting”* the station list
shows so-called ensembles. Ensembles cover a specific area (e.g. a
city or region) and comprise various radio stations. The frequency
range can be restricted to regional ensembles
page 62.
The station list (max. 60 stations) must be updated manually. This
may take some time.
If you leave the range of reception, ensembles or radio stations
which can no longer be received are marked with the symbol

fig. 44. The symbol disappears as soon as the ensemble or radio
station can be received again.
If the MMI has been switched off for more than ten minutes (ignition
key removed), the last five ensembles that you listened to will auto-
matically be checked for reception when the MMI is switched back
on. Any ensembles that are no longer available will not appear in the
station list.
