Audi and the iPhone – high technology
in a perfect design. Even at the time of its launch, the
first mobile phone from Apple can be used in all Audi
models. The big seller in the U.S. (more than 270,000
phones sold in the first 30 hours) is eagerly awaited in
this country too. According to a survey, every third
Apple fan would definitely like to buy the phone and,
what is more, “right away”.
Audi and Apple have been working closely to ensure that
the full functionality of the iPhone is available in
most Audi models. The only requirement is the mobile
phone preparation with the Bluetooth interface,
optionally available in all Audi model lines. Alongside
the standard hands-free functions (accept/reject
call/hands-free), the mobile phone preparation supports
the display of the signal strength and the provider’s
name, in addition to the transfer of the telephone
directory including the icons “Work”, “Home”, “Mobile”
and the call lists.
In addition to making telephone calls, the Audi music
interface (available as an optional extra for the A5,
A6, A8 and Q7) allows customers to enjoy the iPhone’s
music playback function in supreme quality via the
in-car sound system. What is more, thanks to the Audi
MMI, customers can navigate conveniently through their
music compilations by artist, track title, playlists and
genre – in exactly the same way they are accustomed to
from their iPod.
