Q7 V12 Infotainment

MMI

Entertainment and communications in the vehicle have been elevated to a new level with the new generation of Audi's industry leading Multi Media Interface (MMI).

It is the point of control for all infotainment components. For the mobile phone, radio, navigation or TV - the MMI gives you simple access to these devices and their functions. And thanks to its user-friendly interface and intuitive logic - it is simple and easy to use. A few of the abundant features available on the very latest generation MMI available as standard on the Audi Q7 V12 include:

A high resolution colour display with a 800 x 480 pixel screen
40GB hard drive for storing navigation data and music files
Navigation with clear map display: 3D display of terrain and city models, as well as display of detailed 3D models of attractions and sights
Two SD card readers for WMA, MP3 and AAC data
Directory containing up to 5,000 entries - up to five phone numbers and up to two addresses can be stored for each entry
An advanced speech dialogue system that recognises commands and sequences of digits no matter who the speaker is

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!

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.

Bang & Olufsen 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 Q7, it might be prudent to get into the habit of setting off a little earlier.
With the Audi Q7 and the Bang & Olufsen Advanced Sound System you get the quintessential driving and listening experience combined.

Entertainment
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.

Exceptional in-car entertainment
As an option, your Q7 V12 can be equipped with a stunning rear-seat entertainment package for the pleasure of your passengers. Two seven-inch screens installed in the back of the front headrests, a six-DVD player in the boot, AUX input for devices such as games consoles for each screen and sound can be delivered via the car's audio system or through headphone sockets (one for each screen).

Mobile Phones
Keeping your hands on the wheel

A Bluetooth connection is standard on the Audi Q7 V12.

Mobile phone preparation high
This innovative phone solution offers an unprecedented level of convenience, as it becomes possible to literally leave your phone 'in your jacket pocket' and still operate it using the car controls as outlined above. In effect, the mobile phone in your jacket pocket serves merely as a mobile SIM card reader. The phone calls are made using the car so mobile phone battery life is greatly increased and reception is improved as you are using the car's antenna.
