Applies to: vehicles with Audi connect infotainment and SAP-enabled mobile phone
Depending on the country and your vehicle’s equipment, it may be possible for the MMI to use your mobile phone’s existing Internet connection via a Bluetooth connection. For information on whether your mobile phone supports Bluetooth SAP, please contact your mobile network service provider or go online to Home page: www.audi.com/bluetooth.
All data connections are established via the SIM card in the mobile phone ►.
Important: Your mobile phone must support the Bluetooth SIM Access Profile (Bluetooth SAP). The vehicle must be stationary, and the ignition must be switched on. The mobile phone you would like to connect must not be connected actively to any other Bluetooth device. The MMI must not be connected to a mobile phone. Access to your SIM card (SIM Access) must be activated on your mobile phone. Your own SIM card must have a data option.
Connecting a mobile phone
Switch on the Bluetooth function and the discoverability option of both the MMI system link► and the mobile phone.
Connect the mobile phone to the MMI link►.
The signal strength symbol -10- and connection type symbol -11- will appear in the status bar of the MMI when the connection has been established successfully link►.
- If you use your own SIM card, all data connections for all Audi connect infotainment services will use it. Depending on your network provider, you may be charged for this service, especially if you are using the system abroad. We therefore strongly recommend that you use an unlimited data plan. For more information, contact your service provider.
- In certain cases, the data connection for the Wi-Fi hotspot is established via the SIM card of your Wi-Fi device as a substitute. This depends on the configuration of your Wi-Fi device and operating system. Depending on your network provider, this may incur charges, especially if you are using the system abroad. We therefore strongly recommend that you use an unlimited data plan. For further information, contact your mobile network service provider or refer to the operating instructions for your Wi-Fi device.
Note
- It is only possible to connect a mobile phone via the SIM Access Profile on vehicles with the Audi phone box*.
- The Bluetooth connection between the system and the mobile phone is automatically terminated when you leave the car.
