How to Turn Off Navigation in Audi?
3 Answers
In the Audi car navigation system, click the option to exit the 3G interface. Click on Settings, find the "Navigation" function item, and after entering, you can see the prompt "Automatically run navigation software" below the magnifying glass icon. Change "ON" to "OFF". After completing the modification in the system, restart the vehicle to complete the navigation shutdown.
Having driven Audi for over a decade, how to turn off navigation depends on the model. For older models with rotary knobs, simply twist to the navigation interface and press the BACK button in the upper left corner to exit. Newer all-touchscreen models are even simpler - just tap the small stop button at the bottom of the screen during navigation. In urgent situations, you can directly say 'Hey Audi, cancel navigation' and the system will stop automatically. Holding the VIEW button on the steering wheel for two seconds also turns it off, which is especially safe while driving. If the screen freezes, the easiest solution is to restart the infotainment system by turning off and restarting the car - Audi's system responds quite quickly anyway.
My Audi Q5 is the 2022 model, and turning off the navigation mostly relies on voice control: just press the microphone button on the steering wheel and say 'stop navigation,' with a recognition rate of over 90%. Touchscreen operation is also straightforward—swiping three fingers to the left on the navigation interface returns to the main screen and closes it. Sometimes, the navigation continues to announce in the background, requiring a trip to the sound settings to separately lower the navigation volume. The high-end version with gesture control even allows switching programs by waving a hand in front of the screen, which feels super high-tech but occasionally malfunctions, making the physical stop button below the screen a more reliable option.
