Media

Media
General information
There may be different media drives and connec-
tions available depending on the vehicle equip-
ment. For example, you can play media files us-
ing the SD card reader or connect your mobile de-
vices 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 on the market. However,
there may be cases where individual devices or
media and audio/video files may not be recog-
nized, 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.
