// AUDI CONNECT
Whether at home, out and about or at work, today’s customers
want to be connected at all times and everywhere. The Audi
connect function, which can be integrated into the vehicle as
an option, means we are able to offer our customers such
connectivity in their Audi too. Our optional MMI Navigation
plus with MMI touch, available for a large number of models,
gives the driver intuitive, quick access to Audi connect services.
The ability to make long and complex inputs using handwriting
recognition or by voice control increases convenience and also
driving safety. We offer drivers an even more convenient way of
using Audi connect services with the MMI all-in-touch, which
has a control panel with oversized touchpad and is available
for the first time in the new Audi Q7. Depending on the model,
up to 26 different in-car Audi connect services are currently
available, spanning the navigation, mobility, communications
and infotainment areas.
Thanks to the ultra-fast LTE mobile communications standard
– integrated for the first time in the new Audi A3 models and
now also available in the current Audi TT, A6 and A7 and the
new Q7 – the driver can access various Internet services from
Audi connect from inside their vehicle in real time. Depending
on network availability, they can use Google Earth™, Google
Street View™, Online Media Streaming as well as traffic, flight
and train information directly from the vehicle. Many of these
services can be customized to personal requirements using a
myAudi account. With the help of the Audi MMI connect app,
drivers of the new TT generation can also connect with the
vehicle using their own smartphone, directly accessing the
music on their smartphone via Wi-Fi, for example.
