Media
Media
General information
There are various media drives and connections
available in the MMI. For example, you can play
media files using the SD card reader or connect
your mobile devices to the Audi music interface
and operate them through the MMI.
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 available in the market.
However, there may be cases where individual de-
vices or media and audio/video files may not be
recognized, may play only with restrictions, or
may not play at all.
Restricted functionality: reset the Media to the
factory default settings if functionality is restrict-
ed.
Digital Rights Management: please note that
the
audio/video files are subject to copyright pro-
tection.
The media drives do not play files that are pro-
tected by DRM and are identified with the symbol
&.
Data security: never store important data on SD
cards, CDs/DVDs, or mobile devices. Audi AG is
not responsible for damaged or lost files and me-
dia.
Loading times: the more files/folders/playlists
there are on a storage medium, the longer it will
take to load. To reduce the amount of time it
takes the audio/video files to load, use a storage
medium that only contains audio/video files, and
create subfolders (for example, for each artist or
album).
Additional information: when playing, audio
files are automatically displayed with any addi-
tional information that is stored (such as the ar-
tist, track and album cover). If this information is
not available on the storage medium, the MMI
will check the Gracenote metadata database.
However, in some cases, the additional informa-
tion may not be displayed.
CG) Note
Read the information about Audi connect, and
be sure to note the connectivity costs section

Individual pieces could then become stuck
in the drive and impair the functionality.
—To reduce the risk of damaging drives and
data carriers, always keep data carriers ina
sleeve and never expose them to direct sun-
light.
DVD drive
