General information
There may be different media sources and con-
nections available depending on the country and
the vehicle equipment. For example, you can play
media files using a connected USB drive or con-
nect your mobile devices to the USB ports with
charging function and operate them through the
MMI.
Media and format restrictions: the MMI (includ-
ing the USB storage device connection) was test-
ed with a variety of products and media on the
market. However, there may be cases where indi-
vidual devices/media and media files may not be
recognized, may play only with restrictions, or
may not play at all.
Restricted functionality: reset the MMI to the
factory default settings if functionality is restrict-
ed & page 232.

tion.

fied with the symbol f will not play.
Data security: never store important data on
CDs/DVDs or mobile devices. Audi is not respon-
sible for damaged or lost files and media.
Loading times: the more files/folders/playlists
there are ona storage medium, the longer it will
take to load. To reduce the amount of time it
takes the media files to load, use a storage medi-
um that only contains media files, and create
subfolders (for example, for each artist or al-
bum).

tional information that is stored (such as the ar-
tist, track and album cover). If this information is
not available on the medium, the MMI will revert
