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
