You have different options for making calls in your vehicle via the MMI; this depends on your vehicle's equipment and the features of your mobile phone.
Handsfree
After connecting your mobile phone to the MMI system via Bluetooth, you can operate the handsfree system and the telephone functions conveniently via the MMI. Your phone calls will be made via the antenna of your mobile phone.
With the Audi phone box*, you can use the vehicle's external aerial to make calls. The use of the external aerial reduces radiation in the vehicle and also ensures better reception quality ►Link.
Car telephone function*1)
As part of Audi connect*, the Audi phone box* includes a car telephone function which can be used via a separate mini SIM card in the SIM card reader or an rSAP-enabled mobile phone. With the car telephone function, you can use the vehicle's external aerial to make calls. The use of the external aerial reduces radiation in the vehicle and also ensures better reception quality ►Link.
WARNING!
-
According to health organisations, mobile phones may interfere with the function of pacemakers. A minimum distance of 20 cm should be kept between the mobile phone aerial and the pacemaker.
- Do not carry a mobile phone in your breast pocket directly over the pacemaker when the phone is switched on.
- If you suspect interference, switch the mobile phone off immediately.
- The speech dialogue system ►Link must not be used in cases of emergency, since the voice changes in stressful situations. This could result in a failed or delayed telephone connection. Always dial emergency numbers manually!
- Switch off your mobile phones in all areas where there may be a risk of explosion. Remember that these areas may not always be adequately marked. Such places are filling stations, fuel and chemical storage facilities or transport vehicles and other places where fumes, chemicals (e.g. from leaking propane or fuel vapours in vehicles or buildings) or large quantities of dust particles (e.g. from flour, wood or metal) could accumulate in the air. This warning also applies to all other places where you would normally switch off your engine.
- Today's driving conditions require the full attention of drivers. Please see ►Link.
Caution!
- Always obey the laws regulating the use of telephones in vehicles.
- You must switch off the telephone in areas where the use of mobile telephones is prohibited. Please observe all relevant caution notices and regulations.
Note
- The maximum range of the Bluetooth connection is limited to the interior of the vehicle. The connection can be susceptible to interference from other electronic devices.
- For information on which Bluetooth connections and functions are supported by your mobile phone, please contact your mobile network service provider or consult the mobile device database at www.audi.com/bluetooth.
- We recommend using the vehicle's Wi-Fi hotspot when the car phone is in use so that your mobile phone's apps retain access to the Internet.
