With this telephone option1), you can be reached on the telephone number of your own SIM card in the SIM card reader.

The vehicle must be stationary, the ignition must be switched on and the Telephone menu must have been called up.

The missing corner of the mini SIM card should be at the front left. Slide the mini SIM card into the slot in the SIM card reader Fig. 212► until you feel it engage.
If requested, enter the PIN code for your mini SIM card in the MMI.
Select and confirm OK.
To allow the MMI to connect automatically in the future, select and confirm Yes.

You can set whether you would also like the system to establish a data connection for the Audi connect infotainment services* link►. Please observe the notes on using Audi connect (infotainment) link►.
After connecting successfully
After connecting successfully, either one or two symbols (depending on the connection type) will appear in the status line of the infotainment display to indicate the signal strength -8-/-10- Fig. ►.

CAUTION
  • To avoid damaging the SIM card reader, only use mini SIM cards (25 mm x 15 mm) Fig. 212►. Please contact your service provider for more information on mini SIM cards.
  • Should you have inserted a different SIM card size in the SIM card reader, do not under any circumstances attempt to remove it yourself as this may damage the SIM card reader. Please contact a qualified workshop.
  • If you use SIM card adapters, the vibrations caused by the movement of the vehicle may cause the SIM card to become detached from the adapter - risk of damage to the SIM card reader.
Note
If your mobile phone does not support the remote SIM Access Profile (e.g. iPhone), you can use the contacts from your mobile phone by connecting the mobile phone to the system via the Directory/contacts profile link►.
