Applies to vehicles: with phone pre-installation
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.

– Enter the PIN for handsfree mode on the mobile phone
within about 30 seconds. The factory default for the PIN
for handsfree mode is 1234. A mobile phone symbol

page 28, fig. 20 will appear in the status line of the
MMI display when the mobile phone has successfully
bonded.
The external car aerial is not used. The handset* cannot be used.
Note
•Audi does not recommend using a mobile telephone with Hands-
Free Profile.
•You should change the PIN for handsfree mode to prevent other
users from connecting to your car telephone kit
page 96.
•For up-to-date information on mobile phones with the Hands-
Free Profile, please ask an Audi dealer or specialist retailer.
Applies to vehicles: with Bluetooth car telephone kit
Phone book entries
The phone book entries on your SIM card and your mobile
phone directory are automatically stored on the MMI
system.
Loading the phone book entries
The phone book entries will be loaded into the MMI 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 MMI memory remain
stored there. When you link a fifth mobile phone to the car tele-
phone kit, the phone book from the mobile phone which has not
been used for the longest time is deleted from the MMI. Up to 1255
phone book entries per phone book can be stored in the memory.
Reconnecting a mobile phone
If the SIM card is the same as before, the phone book will appear on
the MMI after a short time.
The MMI automatically checks the phone book entries in the back-
ground 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. 21, 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.
•If the SIM card is in the handset
page 31, only the SIM card
entries will be displayed.
•In certain cases, phone book entries from a mobile phone may
not be transmitted in alphabetical order. If there are too many
phone book entries, entries with certain initial letters may not be
displayed on the MMI system.

Television
Applies to vehicles: with analog TV and DVB-T
Introduction
For safety reasons, the TV picture is not available while
the vehicle is moving.
Via the MMI system you can receive either analog TV channels or
digital TV channels as well as digital radio stations 9) in the DVB-T
standard.
Your MMI system automatically displays a list of the available TV
channels. You do not even have to set up the channels. Use the
rotary pushbutton in the usual way to select the TV channels.
However, which and how many channels you can receive depends
on your location and the quality of the reception.
DVB-T channels/stations can primarily be received in big metropol-
itan areas. Reception is dependent on a number of factors, e.g. the
distance to the transmitter and the speed at which the vehicle is
travelling.
Would you like to connect additional AV devices to your MMI
system? No problem! You can connect up to two AV devices
(audio/video out port). You only have to set the appropriate AV
standard
page 79. Suitable connector cables are available from
Audi dealers or specialist retailers.
The picture is at first only shown within the inner section of the
display; however, after a few seconds it will expand to the full
screen. The volume will automatically be muted if the TV reception
becomes poor. The volume will be switched on again automatically
if the TV reception quality improves. While you are driving, the
screen will be darkened for your safety. However, you can still listen
to the audio.
Note
•The analog/digital TV reception only supports the DVB-T
standard. Other standards such as DVB via satellite (DVB-S) or
encoded programmes / Pay TV are not supported.
•Playback of multi-channel programmes in Dolby Digital 5.1
sound is not supported. These programmes are then reproduced in
stereo.
•The DVB-T network is still in the process of expanding and is
therefore not available in all areas. Please obtain information
regarding DVB-T reception in the region you live in.
•You can operate the DVB functions via the MMI if the DVB-T
receiver was fitted at the factory.
Applies to vehicles: with analog TV and DVB-T

Calling up traffic information
Introduction
If desired, your MMI system will inform you about the current traffic
situation both on the screen and audibly.
You are probably familiar with the traffic reports that most radio
stations transmit at regular intervals. Your MMI system automati-
cally records these reports
page 121 for up to an hour after the
MMI has been switched off. The Traffic Programme reception is indi-
cated by the TP symbol when the radio, the CD player or the Audi
music interface*
21) is switched on
page 58.
In addition, more and more radio stations transmit traffic messages
that are received automatically and inaudibly by your MMI system.
You can set the system to display these messages on your MMI
display. Another even more convenient function is that the MMI
system uses these reports when the dynamic navigation function is
activated to guide you around traffic obstructions such as conges-
tions whenever possible
page 117.
The reception of traffic messages is indicated by the TMC symbol at
the top of the display when the navigation mode is activated:
Calling up traffic reports (TP memo)
Traffic reports are stored along with the station name and
the time of transmission.
