2 Answers
The 'media' on an Audi car refers to the multimedia audio and video playback system. Multimedia Audio and Video Playback System: This includes front-mounted hosts for various audio and video media such as radio, tapes, CDs, VCDs, MDs, MP3s, DVDs, and TV, as well as rear-mounted CD, VCD, and DVD changers. Recently, it has expanded to include various digital media such as USB, HD, MemoryStick, and iPod. The multimedia in-car electronic audio and video system is an indispensable component of modern automobiles. Automotive Information System: Also known as the in-car information system, it is a device that enables drivers to stay informed about the vehicle's operational status and external information through in-car electronic equipment while driving.
On Audi vehicles, 'media' refers to the in-car multimedia system, which controls various entertainment sources like music and video playback. I remember when I first bought the car, I wasn't quite familiar with it. After some exploration, I realized it's actually a control hub that can switch radio stations, connect via Bluetooth to play songs from your phone, play music files from a USB drive, watch DVDs, or even mirror content from a smartphone. It's quite intuitive to operate – you can quickly skip tracks or adjust volume using buttons on the center console or steering wheel shortcuts, making driving less monotonous. Especially during long trips, turning on the media system to play some relaxing music can be enjoyable for the whole family. If you purchase a newer Audi model, it might even support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, making it even more convenient. I recommend using it regularly to familiarize yourself with its features, as it can enhance your driving experience.
