The following options are available:
Connect
- if requested: A data connection will only be established on request.
- without request: A data connection will be established automatically for the use of Audi connect services.
- never: A data connection will not be established. It is then not possible to call up Audi connect services.
When a data connection has been established, a symbol indicating

You can cancel an active data connection manually by setting
the Connect option to

Connection settings
Depending on the SIM card used, the connection may be configured
automatically. However, these settings can be changed. For more
information, contact your service provider.
- APN: The system access point depends on your mobile network service provider and is assigned automatically.
- User name: The user name for your online profile is assigned by your mobile network service provider.
- Password: The password for your online profile is assigned by your mobile network service provider.
- Authentication: Depending on your mobile network service provider, an authentication (identity verification) for your service provider may be necessary. If this is the case, select secure; otherwise choose the option normal.
The new settings will not be stored until you exit the
Connection settings menu by pressing
the BACK button.
SIM PIN settings
If the Automatic SIM PIN recognition
function is on, the PIN code of
the SIM card will be stored in the MMI after it is entered for
the first time. In this case, you don't have to enter the SIM
PIN code every time your mobile phone reconnects via Bluetooth.
You can save the PIN codes of four different SIM cards on the
MMI. If this function is switched off, the PIN currently stored
in the MMI will be deleted. If the function is activated, the
system does not perform a SIM PIN query.
When the option SIM PIN query >
Activate is selected, the system
asks for the SIM PIN code every time you switch it on. Select
Deactivate if you do not want the
system to make a SIM PIN query
when you switch it on. The setting for
Automatic SIM PIN recognition is ignored in this case.
Some SIM cards do not allow the SIM PIN
query to be deactivated. Using the
Change SIM PIN function, you can
change the PIN code for your SIM card. First enter the existing
PIN code for your SIM card. The SIM PIN code can only consist
of numbers from 0 to 9. The new SIM PIN code has to be entered
twice, as a precautionary measure, and is stored on the SIM
card. If you change the SIM PIN code when the SIM card is in
a connected mobile phone with remote SIM Access Profile, you
will have to enter the SIM PIN code again on the mobile phone
after the Bluetooth connection between the car telephone kit
and the mobile phone is terminated. Otherwise you will not be
reachable.
Data usage meter
The number of the data packets sent/received via the MMI system
is displayed. Select Reset usage meter
to reset the usage statistics to zero.
Start automatic configuration
An online profile is created and configured automatically. The
connection settings you have changed manually are reset to the
standard settings.
Online status overview
An online status overview with information on your data connection
(e.g. mobile phone service provider) is shown on the MMI display.
Switch off data connection module
The data connection module will be switched off. It will no
longer be possible to establish an Internet connection.
Note
- According to the factory settings, the data connection will be interrupted initially when you travel abroad to protect you from unexpected roaming charges. If you want to use Audi connect services abroad, you must first activate the Data roaming option.
- When using Google Earth you will be asked explicitly whether you want to allow roaming before the system dials into a foreign mobile phone network.
- For more information on roaming charges, contact your service provider.
