Applies to AudiTTs: with Wi-Fi hotspot
You can use your MMI system as a Wi-Fi hotspot for connecting to the Internet on up to eight Wi-Fi devices. Small, light Wi-Fi devices that are not permanently attached to the AudiTT must only be operated from the rear seats while the AudiTT is moving.
Important: The ignition must be switched on.
Select: MENU button > Telephone > right control button > Wi-Fi settings.
You can access the following settings in the Wi-Fi settings menu:

WARNING
- Do not allow the features of the Wi-Fi hotspot to distract you from watching the traffic – taking your eyes off the road can cause an accident.
- Laptop computers and similar devices can only be operated safely when the AudiTT is stationary because of their weight; any loose objects can be catapulted through the AudiTT in an accident and cause serious injuries. Always make sure that such devices are securely stowed while you are driving.
- No Wi-Fi devices may be used from the front seats in the areas around the airbags while the AudiTT is being driven. Please also observe the safety warnings in the "Airbag system" chapter under "Important safety notes on the front airbag system" link►.
CAUTION
Please note that it is your responsibility to take precautions regarding data protection, anti-virus protection and protection against loss of data on mobile devices used to connect to the Internet via the Wi-Fi hotspot.
Note
- You might require a separate mobile phone contract with extra costs before you can use the Wi-Fi hotspot. For more information, contact your service provider.
- Depending on your mobile phone tariff, you may be charged for receiving data packets online via the Wi-Fi hotspot, especially if you are using the system abroad. We strongly recommend that you use a data flat rate. For more information, contact your service provider.
