mobile phone: Calls are made with the mobile phone connected using the Handsfree function. You can therefore be reached on the phone number of the SIM card in your mobile phone. In this case, the SIM card in the SIM card reader^* is used for Audi connect services only Link.

SIM card inserted: The SIM card in the SIM card reader^* is used both for telephone calls and Audi connect services. Your telephone conversations are directed via the external Audi Q3 aerial to optimise sound and reception quality. For the telephone options, you can be reached on the telephone number of the SIM card in the SIM card reader^*. Depending on the SIM card type, this may be the same number as for your the current mobile phone contract (twin/Multi SIM card) or another number from a different mobile phone contract.

The MMI will restart after you have changed the option.

Call forward: Forwarding incoming calls to your mailbox or to another phone number can be activated/deactivated. Select the function Deactivate all to cancel all call forward settings.

Call waiting¹⁾: The warning (beep) that there is an incoming call during a telephone conversation can be activated/deactivated. Use Check status to display whether the call waiting function is on or off.

Transmit caller ID¹⁾: Sending your telephone number in outgoing calls can be activated/deactivated. With the Network-dependent option, the setting agreed in your mobile network service contract will be used. The settings apply only to the Telephone menu in the MMI system. When the Bluetooth connection has been severed, the settings of your mobile phone apply.

Auto redial: If this option is on, a telephone number is dialled automatically up to five times if the line is engaged. Select End call if you want to cancel the automatic redial function. The function only becomes active if the number you are trying to call is busy.

Auto answer: When this function is switched on, an incoming call is answered automatically shortly after it is received.

Telephone mode: On Audi Q3s with a car telephone kit, you can choose between three different telephone modes to optimise the network response. With Automatic, the car telephone automatically switches between the UMTS network (3G) and the GSM network (2G) depending on network availability and reception and on the position of the Audi Q3. In this mode there might be restrictions when using Google Earth or Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi). With Telephony optimised, the car telephone kit registers with the GSM network (2G). In this mode, the reception is prioritised for making and receiving calls. There may be restrictions when using Google Earth or Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi). When you select the telephone mode Automatic or Telephony optimised, there may be network restrictions if you try to use Audi connect services and make voice calls at the same time. With Data services optimised, the car telephone registers with the UMTS (3G) or GSM (2G) network depending on network availability and reception and on the position of the Audi Q3. In this mode, the reception is prioritised for the use of data services. There may be restrictions when making and receiving calls. We recommend that you mainly use this setting in areas with good UMTS (3G) network coverage.

Ring tone selection²⁾: The selected ring tone is played and is stored when you close the submenu.

Volume settings²⁾: For the settings Ring tone volume/Volume of telephone call, see Link.

Call information²⁾: When this function is switched on, the telephone numbers or names for incoming/outbound calls are shown in the MMI display. When switched off, asterisks ******** appear in the MMI display in place of telephone numbers and names. Telephone numbers stored on the MMI cannot be accessed. The call lists are not updated.

SIM PIN settings: When the Automatic SIM PIN recogn. function is on, the SIM PIN will be automatically saved in the MMI after it has been 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 Activate is selected at SIM PIN query, 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.

Discoverability is switched off after this period. Mobile phones or players which have already been connected can connect via Bluetooth even when discoverability is deactivated. Once you have connected your mobile phone, you should switch this function off to prevent your car telephone from being discovered by third parties. When audio files are played via a connected Bluetooth audio player, the discoverability option of the MMI system is automatically switched off; otherwise the files might not be played properly.
