Multi Media Interface

[1] Production MMI was introduced in the second generation Audi A8 D3 in late 2002 and implemented in majority of its latest series of automobiles.

MMI consists of a single integrated interface, which controls a variety of devices and functions of the car.

Depending on the MMI generation and configuration, four to eight function buttons surround the control dial, which launch the various features.

(needs activation SD Card) While seemingly intuitive and user-friendly, MMI can be difficult to operate when driving.

Attempts have been made to improve access: the MMI 3G features a new Joystick on the central knob to make it easier to, for example, input a destination using the navigation map.

Along with its working and flash memories, the plug-in module integrates a Tegra processor from Nvidia, which can handle all online, media, voice control, navigation, and telephone functions.

The new architecture makes it easy to update the hardware; the fact that the MMX board can be swapped out ensures the system is always up to date.

Thanks to the matrix’ modular structure, Audi can keep it continuously up-to-date and integrate innovations from consumer electronics.

For the 2015-2016 Audi A3 with MIB1, there is no OTA option in the MMI, thus the map data can only be updated using the SD card method.

This includes a digital marketplace in the myAudi app to add Audi Connect plans and SiriusXM with 360L.
