A8 Infotainment

B&O Advanced
Pure listening pleasure
Have you ever arrived at your destination only to wait in the car, on your own, just until a certain piece of music has finished? If you opt for the superb Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System in your Audi A8, it might be prudent to get into the habit of setting off a little earlier.

Audio reviewers, test panels and conductors have labelled the Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System, quite simply, "the best automotive audio system ever." What they think of it is peppered with adjectives like 'revolutionary,' 'stunning,' 'sensational' and 'flawless'.

With the Audi A8 and the Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System you get the quintessential driving and listening experience combined.

Rear Seat Entertainment
Television, DVD, music and much more; the Rear Seat Entertainment option gives the rear passengers a highly customised and very extensive selection of entertainment options.

Starting with two, independently controlled, class leading, 10.2" high resolution displays and two wireless Bluetooth headsets, each passenger can view their own content, whether it's watching TV or DVDs or listening to music from SD cards, the car's hard drive jukebox or through their individual music devices (using AMI).

To keep track of progress, rear passengers can also view a duplicate of the main navigation screen.

Online Services
A mobile hotspot
The Audi A8 includes a GPRS module to allow data transfer, allowing current news topics and weather reports to be downloaded to the car, even when you're on the move.

During 2010 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 A8 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.

Gone are the days of wireless mobile dongles - this data connection will require no additional fees or contracts.
