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 vehicle is stationary because of their weight; any loose objects can be catapulted through the vehicle 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 vehicle is being driven. Please also observe the safety warnings on 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
- The Wi-Fi audio player only needs to be connected to the MMI via the Wi-Fi hotspot once. Depending on the device, a media player that has already been bonded will automatically be reconnected to the Wi-Fi hotspot of the MMI when it is within range.
- Inserting or removing a SIM card from the SIM card reader* causes the Wi-Fi connection to be reconfigured. This may cause a short interruption in the audio playback of some media players.
- Please observe the notes in the chapter Notes on Audi connect link►.
- Please note that the Wi-Fi connection does not automatically enable you to use the Internet. Further information can be found from link► onwards.
- To avoid interruptions in audio playback, deactivate the energy saving function on your media player, or connect the player to a charger.
- The time it takes to load audio files depends on the media player in use and on the number of files stored.
- A maximum of 2,000 entries per directory are shown on the MMI.
- Audi dealerships will be able to provide you with further information on Wi-Fi audio players.
