Audi MMI  Communication  Telephone  Bonding a mobile phone via Bluetooth
Applies to vehicles: with Audi phone box
You can charge your phone and use the vehicle's external aerial to make calls using the Audi phone box* and a USB charging adapter. The use of the external aerial reduces radiation in the vehicle and also ensures better reception quality. The Audi phone box is located in the centre console beneath the centre armrest.
Important: A mobile phone must be connected via Bluetooth Link.
  • To establish a connection with the external car aerial: Place your mobile phone onto the middle of the telephone symbol in the Audi phone box with the phone's display facing upwards. When doing so, make sure that there are no objects between the Audi phone box and the mobile phone.
  • To charge the mobile phone with a USB charging cable: Connect your mobile phone to the USB charging socket -1- Fig. 1 using a USB charging cable.
For ease of use, Audi offers special USB charging adapters* Fig. 2. The following USB charging adapters are currently available:
-A- USB adapter for mobile phones with micro USB connector*
-B- USB adapter for mobile phones with Apple Lightning connector*
-C- USB adapter for mobile phones with Apple dock connector*
WARNING!
Loose objects can be flung around in the passenger compartment in the event of sudden driving or braking manoeuvres. This could result in serious injuries and also cause you to lose control of the vehicle. Always keep the centre armrest closed when driving.
