Applies to vehicles: with Audi connect
You must configure a data connection before you can use Audi connect services via the car telephone kit.
Select: TEL button > control button Settings > Connections > Data connection.
You can select the following options in the Data connection menu:
Connection
- 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 the active data connection -1- Fig. 1 appears in the status line of the MMI display.
You can cancel an active data connection manually by setting the Connect option to never.
Data roaming
The Data roaming function is deactivated when the vehicle leaves the factory. Data roaming must be activated (
) before you can use a data connection abroad.
MMI online
With the MMI online function, you can allow or deny the use of Audi connect services if the connection is set to without request or if requested > yes.
Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) devices
You can use the WLAN devices function to allow or deny a connection to the Internet.
Connection settings
Depending on the SIM card used, the connection is configured automatically, but the settings can be changed. For more information, contact your service provider.
