Discover the Audi MMI System: Navigation, Audio & Functions
In the beloved “Back to the Future” franchise, Marty travels 30 years into the future, ending up in the futuristic year of 2015.
While some of their predictions were a bit far-fetched (remember the self-lacing shoes and flying cars?), other technological advancements have become a regular part of our day-to-day lives, such as video chatting and virtual reality headsets.
Marty and Doc were not that far off in the imaginings of a high-tech future, and in the automotive world, it has become a necessity to equip our favorite rides with the ability to connect from the comfort of their cars.
Audi embodies the future-forward design of the automotive industry, from its exterior styling to its advanced interior technology. One advancement that has people looking into the future? The Audi MMI System.
Audi MMI System: What It Is and How It Works
The Audi MMI (Multi Media Interface) system is your standard one-stop shop for entertainment inside your Audi. It first appeared in the 2002 Audi A8 and has since become a standard feature across the entire Audi lineup.
Streamlining controls for vehicle settings, audio, and navigation under one standard interface, the MMI system reduces the number of clunky buttons on your dashboard while simultaneously providing hands-free access to many of your Audi’s functions.
Getting the Most Out of Your Audi Infotainment System
The question is not what you can do for your Audi but what your Audi can do for you. And in the case of the MMI system, your Audi can do just about anything!
Audi MMI Navigation System
Whether you are an avid user of Google Maps or often find yourself turning to your vehicle’s built-in navigation system, the MMI system allows you to choose to your heart’s desire.
The MMI system is integrated with Google Maps via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, making it easy to get from point A to point B on an interface you’re familiar with. Alternatively, you can utilize the Audi’s built-in system, which allows you to input your desired location, which will then be displayed on your vehicle’s touchscreen.
Music and Audio
Long gone are the days of browsing FM radio stations to find your preferred music, or at least a station with no advertisements, and it’s all thanks to the latest modern tech.
The Audi MMI system allows you to play your favorite music from Spotify or podcast episodes from Audible straight through the car’s stereo.
Hands-Free Phone Integration
With the introduction of the cell phone came the issue of safety within our vehicles. As laws continue to be passed prohibiting the use of cell phones while driving, Audi’s MMI technology allows you to take calls hands-free.
That’s right; you can take a phone call, ask voice control to read out incoming text messages, and speak a reply to send all without laying a finger on your phone.
Vehicle Settings
Communicating with your vehicle can be one of the most challenging things to master as a driver, but the MMI system serves as the mediator between you and your vehicle.
In the MMI system, you can adjust your Audi’s seats, lighting, steering weight, suspension, and so much more!
