HDD Navigation
HDD navigation for stress-free motoring

With the optional hard drive based (HDD) navigation system, being lost becomes a thing of the past. Simply enter a destination using the Multi Media Interface (MMI) in the centre console, or just say where you want to go, using the advanced voice recognition system.

The HDD navigation system has a 40GB hard drive meaning that maps load incredibly fast and there's an abundance of detail (including 3D buildings in cities and photo realistic 3D landmarks) when you zoom in. You can also specify modifications to the route such as avoiding or using motorways, toll roads and ferries. And you can recall favourite and recent destinations which are stored in your address book.

The system can also adjust the route you're taking dynamically based on the latest traffic situation. It receives RDS-TMC (Traffic Message Channel) automatically so it knows about hold-ups before you do and, if dynamic navigation is active, the system automatically recalculates the route.

Your own personal jukebox
If you choose the HDD-based Satellite Navigation system, you can also create your own personal jukebox. With 10GB of its hard drive set aside for music, you download via CDs, USB sticks or SD memory cards up to 4,000 music tracks.

Audi Music Interface
Audi Music Interface: your music goes with you

A very wide range of portable music devices can integrate with your car via the optional Audi Music Interface. Once installed, they can be controlled with the Multi Media Interface (MMI) or multifunction steering wheel (depending on the car's equipment). Supported devices include USB memory sticks, portable hard discs, mobile phones, and Apple iPods - even portable cassette players.

And it's not just the audio signal that's transmitted. With compatible devices, detailed track information is displayed .

Your own personal jukebox
If you have chosen the HDD-based Satellite Navigation system, the good news is you don't actually have to take any of these things with you. Simply download, via CDs, USB sticks or SD memory cards up to 4,000 music tracks on to its hard drive and create your own personal jukebox. A handy feature that we're sure will appeal to all music loving motorists!

DAB Radio
Crystal-clear digital radio reception

DAB digital radio not only brings phenomenal sound quality without interference but also a host of features to complement the listening experience. Alongside the audio, other data may be broadcast such as the title of the track and the name of the artist.

Other programme content can be received such as news, weather and traffic. All available radio stations are displayed and are accessible via the Multi Media Interface so you don't need to spend time programming separate buttons. If you leave the range of a radio station's DAB signal, the system will automatically switch to the analogue transmission.

Bang & Olufsen
Sensational surround sound

Some 14 speakers and two amplifiers create 505 watts of superb sound, balanced to suit the acoustic properties of the car's interior.

A second digital signal-processing amplifier takes output from standard stereo sources such as CD players, iPods or DAB radios and creates stunning five-channel surround sound. The Bang & Olufsen sound system is optional across the range.

TV Reception
Exceptional in-car TV image quality

If you find yourself early for an appointment, the Multi Media Interface (MMI) display can be transformed into a high-quality TV set, receiving available analogue and free to air digital television stations. Available as an option.

Mobile Phones
Keeping your hands on the wheel

A built in hands-free phone system is available as an option across the A5 range.

The options
Mobile phone preparation
This option provides a Bluetooth connection for your mobile phone. This means that your phone can be operated using the multifunction steering wheel in conjunction with the driver information system.
