Please note that music files are copyright-protected.
Note
•You can shorten the process of scanning for music files on the
connected USB memory device by creating a central folder for
music files and playlists and positioning it as the first item (alpha-
betically) on the memory device.
•Do not use USB extension cables or adapters as these impair the
functionality.
•The Audi music interface does not support DRM-protected files.
•In view of the variety of USB memory devices and the difference
in memory capacities, the functionality may be restricted in the case
of some memory devices.
•For up-to-date information please see the internet, e.g.
“www.audi.com”.
•An iPod shuffle cannot be used with the USB/mini USB adapter
cable.
Applies to vehicles: with Audi music interface and 3.5 mm jack plug/adapter cable - under
development at the time of printing
Connecting a portable player via an adapter
cable (with 3.5 mm jack plug)
You can connect your portable player (e.g. MP3 player) to
the Audi music interface using the adapter cable with
3.5 mm jack plug.
– Connect the 3.5 mm jack plug to the earphone connec-
tion of your portable player. The audio source is then
played through the sound system of your vehicle.
If the Audi music interface is already selected as the source

page 63, fig. 54, you may hear some brief interference (a noise
often occurring on home stereo systems) when you connect or
disconnect the 3.5 mm jack plug. To avoid this interference, you can
either activate the mute function
page 45 or another audio
source (radio
page 54, CD
page 63) before connecting and
disconnecting the portable player.
Note
We recommend setting the output level of the portable player to
about 70 percent of maximum. You can adjust the volume level (for
instance to match the radio volume) via the Input level function
