Audi MMI Explained: How Audi Infotainment Works

MMI stands for Multi Media Interface. It serves as the central interface for many of the vehicle's technology functions, allowing drivers to access navigation, audio, smartphone connectivity, vehicle settings and other features.

The exact configuration varies by Audi model and equipment level. For example, the current Audi Q5 features a standard 14.5-inch MMI touch display integrated with an 11.9-inch Audi virtual cockpit.

Touchscreen Controls

Modern Audi models use high-resolution touchscreens to make commonly used functions accessible through a smartphone-like interface. Depending on the model, MMI can also incorporate additional displays for functions such as climate control or passenger entertainment.

The Audi Q7, for example, uses MMI touch response with a driver-focused interactive display and a secondary touchscreen for climate controls and other functions.

Smartphone Integration

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available on current Audi models, allowing compatible smartphones to connect with the vehicle for apps, music, messages, maps and other functions.

This means drivers can use familiar smartphone-based services while keeping important information accessible through the Audi interface.

Audi MMI and Connected Technology

Depending on the vehicle and equipment, Audi technology can extend beyond the center display. Features can include navigation, Audi connect services, remote vehicle functions, premium audio and available head-up displays.

The best way to understand the differences is to compare the specific Audi model and trim you're considering. Technology packages can vary considerably between models.
