Audi A3 Infotainment Telephone Setting up
Applies to: vehicles with Audi phone box
You can connect two mobile phones to the MMI system using the Audi phone box (e.g. your business mobile as the primary phone and your personal mobile as an additional phone). You can then be reached inside the vehicle on both mobile phones.
The first mobile phone that you connect is shown as the primary phone on the MMI system. The second mobile phone is connected as an additional phone.
The system will always display the phone book on the primary phone while it is connected. To use the phone book on the additional phone, you have to swap the primary phone and additional phone link.
Connecting a mobile phone as the primary phone
Connect your mobile phone to the MMI system via Bluetooth. The first mobile phone that you connect is shown as the primary phone on the MMI system.

Connecting a mobile phone as an additional phone

Select: MENU button > Telephone > right control button > Connect additional phone.

For example, you have connected your business mobile to the MMI system as the primary phone and your personal mobile as the additional phone. To call a contact stored in your personal phone book, you now have to swap the primary phone with the additional phone because the system always displays the phone book from the primary phone.
Inserting your own mini SIM card in the SIM card reader*
Important: The MMI must not be connected to a mobile phone.

If you want to use your mini SIM card in the SIM card reader* as an additional phone, please refer to link.

  • If the primary phone is not connected to the MMI automatically when the ignition is switched on, e.g. because it is out of range of the vehicle or because the Bluetooth function is switched off, a phone which was previously connected as an additional phone will be connected automatically as the primary phone.
