Radio transmitters (fixed installation)
Retrofit installations of radio transmitters in the vehicle are subject
to official approval. Audi generally authorises in-vehicle installa-
tions of approved types of radio transmitters provided that:
• the aerial is installed correctly,
• the aerial is not installed in the interior of the vehicle (and
screened cables are used together with non-reflective aerial trim-
ming),
• the effective transmitting power does not exceed 10 Watts at the
aerial base.
Audi dealers and specialist retailers will be able to inform you about
options for installing and operating radio transmitters with a higher
transmitting power.
Mobile radio transmitters
When using commercial mobile telephones or radio equipment it is
possible that they might interfere with the electronics of your
vehicle and cause malfunctions. The reasons could be:
• no external aerial
• external aerial incorrectly installed
• transmitting power more than 10 W.
Therefore you must not operate portable mobile telephones or radio
equipment inside the vehicle without a correctly installed external
aerial ⇒ .
Please note also that the maximum range of the equipment can only
be achieved with an external aerial.
Business equipment
Retrofit installation of business or other equipment in the vehicle is
permitted, provided the equipment cannot interfere with the
driver's immediate control of the vehicle. Any such equipment must
carry the CE mark. Any retrofit equipment that could influence the
driver's control of the vehicle must have a type approval for your
vehicle and must carry the e mark.
WARNING
Mobile telephones or radio equipment which are operated inside
the vehicle without a correctly installed external aerial can create
excessive magnetic fields that could cause a health hazard.
Note
• Any retrofit installation of electrical or electronic equipment in
the vehicle will affect its type approval. In extreme cases this could
mean that you might lose the type approval for your vehicle.
• Please refer to the mobile telephone/radio operating
instructions.
