Personalization
Users
General information
Applies to: vehicles with personalized user settings
Depending on vehicle equipment and your coun-
try, your vehicle may be able to manage various
users in the MMI. Each user will be assigned the
settings that they last used.
Before you begin driving, you can select a user in
the MMI and load personalized Infotainment and
vehicle settings.
Possible users in the MMI:
— myAudi user: as a myAudi user, you can use
Audi connect services that require a myAudi ac-
count. Certain settings are transferred online to
your myAudi account. If you log into your
myAudi account in another vehicle, you can
load your settings in the other vehicle.
— Local user: as a local user, you can only store
settings in the current vehicle. Your settings
cannot be transferred to other vehicles. Audi
connect services that can only be used with a
myAudi account will not be available.
— Guest: as a guest, you can store settings in the
vehicle without changing the settings for other
users. Audi recommends only using the guest
user temporarily, because settings can be over-
written by other users.
Depending on vehicle equipment, the following
options may be used to detect the active user so
that the user settings can be loaded automatical-
ly before you start driving.
— Vehicle key
Requirement: the driver's door has been opened.
The detected user must be shown in the MMI.
Confirm the user shown, select another user
= page 31, or add another user > page 31.

tings can only be transferred to vehicles

ted information. There may be restrictions
that prevent this, particularly in other coun-
tries.
— Applies to: myAudi users: The settings can
only be transferred and loaded when there
is coverage from the applicable mobile
phone service provider.

tion switched on: If the MMI displays a de-
tected user but you simply start driving or
wait without entering the 4-digit PIN, then

tings for the detected myAudi user will be
transferred to the guest user.
