Audi MMI   MMI controls and displays  Phone pre-installation
A mobile phone is bonded to the on-board phone system via Bluetooth. The external car aerial is used if the mobile phone is inserted in a mobile phone adapter*.
Bluetooth
The mobile phone is connected to the on-board phone system via Bluetooth. The hands-free system on the on-board phone system can then be used to make phone calls. The telephone functions of the on-board phone system are appended with the text "Mobile phone with Hands-Free Profile" in this Operating Manual.
You can operate your mobile phone via the MMI control console Link, the multi-function steering wheel Link or the speech dialogue system Link.
Phone adapter*
The mounting unit for the adapter of the phone pre-installation is located in the centre armrest. A special mobile phone adapter* is needed in order to connect your mobile phone to the on-board phone system Link. Mobile phone adapters* are available from Audi dealers or specialist retailers.
When your mobile phone is in the mobile phone adapter*, call signals are sent and received via the external car aerial. This ensures good transmission quality and reduces radiation emissions in the interior of the vehicle. The batteries in the mobile phone are also recharged while it is in the adapter.
WARNING!
  • According to health organisations, mobile phones may interfere with the function of pacemakers. A minimum distance of 20 cm should be kept between the mobile phone aerial and the pacemaker.
    • Do not carry a mobile phone in your breast pocket directly over the pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
    • If you suspect interference, switch the mobile phone off immediately.
  • The speech dialogue system Link must not be used in cases of emergency, since the voice changes in stressful situations. This could result in a failed or delayed telephone connection. Always dial emergency numbers manually!
Caution!
  • Always obey the laws regulating the use of telephones in vehicles.
  • Always switch off your telephone in areas where using mobile phones is prohibited.
  • Switch off the telephone in all areas where there may be a risk of explosion. Remember that these areas may not always be adequately marked. Such places are, for instance, filling stations, fuel and chemical storage facilities or transport vehicles and other places where fumes, chemicals (e.g. from leaking propane or fuel vapours in vehicles or buildings) or large quantities of dust particles (e.g. from flour or wood) could accumulate in the air. This warning also applies to all other places where you would normally switch off your engine.
Note
  • In order to use the telephone functions, your mobile phone must be compatible with the phone pre-installation in the vehicle, and the functions must be supported by your service provider.
  • For up-to-date information on the phone pre-installation (e.g. available mobile phone adapters*), see the Internet (e.g. www,audi.com) or ask an Audi dealer or specialist retailer.
