This service will be expanded to include a high-speed, UMTS module which will provide three-dimensional satellite and aerial images, as well as photos and information from Google Earth to the navigation system.
A further expansion of this will allow a full-scale internet connection, making the Audi A7 Sportback a rolling Wi-Fi hotspot. Laptop users will be able to connect to the internet on the move and even stream their music to the car's audio system via the wireless network.

Intuitive, intelligent and innovative - and that was our 'old' MMI system.
The new MMI touch, which is available as an option on the A7 Sportback, gives drivers a new and unique way of operating the MMI navigation system, without the need to divert their eyes from the road ahead. By integrating a touchpad into the centre console drivers can simply write characters to enter addresses, phone numbers or even choose which album to play. The MMI Touch can recognise over a million characters, including Japanese, Chinese, Cyrillic and Korean to name but a few.
Of course the system can still be controlled by voice, however in the spirit of progress through technology, town and street names can now be spoken in a single command.
