If you’re looking to enhance your driving experience by integrating your phone features into your car, look no further. Audi Smartphone Interface is the perfect solution for you. With Audi App Connect, the latest smartphone interface built into the Audi MMI System, accessing your phone apps safely and easily is now a reality.
Control Everything from Calls to Playlists
With Audi Smartphone Interface, you can effortlessly control calls, messages, navigation, and even Spotify playlists using voice commands through Siri or Google Now. Say goodbye to manually fumbling with your phone while driving. This upgrade gives you the convenience of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making your car a seamless extension of your phone.
How It Works
Linking your compatible smartphone* to the car is as simple as connecting it via a USB cable to the USB port. Once connected, approved apps automatically appear in full color on the central Audi MMI screen. You can then control these apps by pressing the voice button on the multi-function steering wheel, which activates your phone’s voice control (either Siri or Google Now). Alternatively, you can also use the scroll button on the center console. By using voice control, you can make calls, listen to messages, and even dictate messages. The MMI screen won’t display the text for safety reasons, ensuring your attention remains on the road.
Apple CarPlay: Access Your iPhone’s Functions
If you have an iPhone 5 or later and your car features Apple CarPlay, you’re good to go. After plugging in your phone via the USB port (CarPlay may be available via Bluetooth or WiFi in the future), you’ll be able to access various functions through the familiar Apple interface on the car’s infotainment screen. CarPlay grants you access to Maps, Phone functions, Messages, Music, as well as other apps, including Spotify, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and apps developed by car manufacturers. You can control these functions using Siri, the touch-screen, or the various knobs, dials, and buttons in your car.
Android Auto: Google’s Solution for Seamless Integration
Android Auto, Google’s solution for bringing your smartphone features into your car, offers similar basic features to Apple CarPlay. To get started, all you need is the Android Auto app, and then simply plug your phone into your car’s USB port. Just like CarPlay, Android Auto can be controlled using the touch-screen, voice control, or your car’s controls. While CarPlay supports the standard messaging system, Android Auto supports multiple messaging platforms, including WhatsApp, Skype, and Google Hangouts. Additionally, Android Auto provides access to a wider range of third-party apps, with Google Maps being one of the most popular choices.
So, whether you’re an Apple enthusiast or an Android aficionado, Audi Smartphone Interface has got you covered. Seamlessly integrate your phone with your car and access its features with ease. Upgrade to Audi App Connect and experience the future of driving technology.
