Introduction
There are various media drives and connections
available in the MMI. You can play , for example,
audio/video files from the Jukebox* or connect
your mobile device to the Audi music interface*
and operate it through the MMI.
Notes
General information
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.
Digital Rights Management: please note that
t he audio/video files are subject to copyright pro­
tection .
The media drives do not play files that are pro­
tected by ORM and that are identified with the
symbol
!'.TI.
Data security: never store important data on SD
cards, the Jukebox*, CDs/DVDs or mobile devices.
Audi AG is not responsible for damaged or lost
files and media .
Loading times: the more files/folders/playlists
that are on a storage medium, the longer it will
take to load the audio/video files* . Audi recom­
mends using storage media tha t only contain au­
dio/video files* . To decrease the time it takes to
load audio/video files*, create subfolders (for ex­
ample , for the artist or album). The loading time
will also increase when importing files.
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 Grace note metadata database.

However, in some cases, the additional informa­
tion may not be displayed.
Restricted functionality: reset the Media set­
tings
to the factory default settings if functional­
ity is restricted

protection against loss of data on mobile de­
vices that are used to access the Internet

CD/DVD operation
CD/DVD and format restrictions:
the functionali­
ty of individual storage media may be limited due
to the variety of blank CDs/DVDs available and
the various capacities . Aud io CDs or video DVDs
with copy protection, CDs/DVDs that do not con­
form to the standard and multisession CDs may
have limited playback or may not play at all. Audi
recommends finalizing the recording process
when creating multisession CDs . Multisession is
not supported for DVDs .
Using CDs/DVDs, the CD drive or the DVD drive:
to ensure correct, high-quality playback and to
prevent damage to the drive or disc reading er­
rors, always store CDs/DVDs in a protective
