How to Connect a Phone to Audi MMI?
2 Answers
To connect a phone to MMI, a smartphone interface is required. The prerequisite for use is that the car is in a stationary state without driving, and the ignition switch is turned on. Turn on the phone, select Bluetooth and other devices, then enable Bluetooth. In the Bluetooth settings panel, add the Audi car's Bluetooth to connect. First, confirm whether the vehicle supports CarPlay functionality. If supported, open the "Settings" interface on the phone, click on CarPlay, and after connecting, click confirm to link to the car's display page. Enter the phone's settings interface, tap the version number seven times to enter engineering mode, then open the developer options and click on USB debugging. Finally, connect using a data cable.
Last time I drove my friend's Audi A6, I happened to try this feature. Connecting your phone to the MMI is actually quite simple: First, open the 'Phone' menu on the vehicle's central display and select 'Connect New Device.' At this point, make sure your phone's Bluetooth is turned on, then search for your car's name in the Bluetooth list—the pairing code is usually 0000 or 1234. Once connected, both calls and music will work. Just remember to turn on your phone's Bluetooth before getting in the car each time; otherwise, you'll have to reconnect manually. If it doesn’t connect, try restarting both the car’s infotainment system and your phone’s Bluetooth—this usually solves the issue. For better performance with CarPlay, just plug your data cable into the USB port with the phone icon in the center console.
