Applies to vehicles: with SIM card reader
Requirements
The vehicle must be stationary, and the ignition must be switched on.
Using a separate SIM card
Press the OPEN button.
Insert your mini SIM card (printed side facing up, contact surface facing down) into the slot of the card reader Fig. 1. The missing corner of the SIM card should be at the front left. Then push the SIM card into the slot until you feel it engage.
Enter the PIN code for your SIM card in the MMI.
Press the control button for OK.
To allow the MMI to connect automatically in the future, select and confirm Yes.
If you wish to make and receive your calls via a bonded mobile phone, your mobile phone must be connected via the Bluetooth profile Handsfree. It is necessary to restart the MMI system to do this.
Select Restart system.
Enter your SIM card's PIN into the MMI again after you have restarted the system.
Confirm the message by selecting Yes or No, depending on whether or not you wish to allow a data connection for Audi connect services to be established.
After connecting successfully
After connecting successfully, one or two symbols (depending on the connection type) will be displayed in the status line of the MMI display to indicate the signal strength -7-/-8- Fig. 2.
You can change whether you wish to make calls using the SIM card in the SIM card reader or your mobile phone in the Settings menu Link. This can be changed later as well.
In addition, the contacts on the mobile phone are automatically loaded into the directory of the MMI. This may take several minutes, depending on how many contacts are stored on the mobile phone.
If there is no memory capacity left for directories and you connect another mobile phone, a message will appear asking you to replace the contacts from one of the phones. If you select the option Restricted use of telephone, only the contacts from the SIM card and the local MMI memory (public) will be available Link.
Removing SIM card
Briefly press the SIM card. The card will then eject from the slot. Remove the SIM card.
WARNING!
For safety reasons the card reader cover must always be closed while driving - risk of injury!
Note
- It is necessary to restart the MMI after switching from the Bluetooth profile Car phone to Handsfree (and vice versa) if a SIM card is inserted.
- If your mobile phone does not support the SIM Access Profile (e.g. iPhone), you can also use the contacts from your mobile phone by connecting the mobile phone to the system via the Directory profile Link.
