Audi MMI search is available for all basic menus, and like a search engine it is based on free text entry. It generally responds to searches after just a few letters have been input, taking into consideration the car’s current location. When searching for a place to eat, for instance, simply enter the name of the restaurant and the first letters of the city, and a list of hits appears together with the addresses – this works throughout Europe. Searching for tracks, albums and radio stations also works this way. In the A8 (D5), Audi has intensively advanced the development of the MMI search function – with a new, highly networked menu structure that integrates many intelligent functions.

When looking for a restaurant, for instance, the list of hits also includes Yelp ratings, provided that there is an internet connection. In addition, sorting can be performed according to various criteria. Fuel prices are listed for filling stations. Alternatively there is the option of a Google search. In MMI navigation plus with MMI touch, the round rotary/push-button control on the center console has a touch-sensitive touchpad on its top surface. The touchpad is used to input characters and also for multifinger gestures, enabling the driver to zoom in on the map, for example. The terminal is supplemented by rocker switches for the most important basic menus (navigation/map, phone, radio and media), the general Menu button, the Back button and eight user-programmable favorite buttons (model-dependent).

Two more buttons to the left and right of the rotary/push-button control provide access to the function and option menus. For example, the driver can select the frequency band of the desired station in the Radio menu or call up traffic information in the Map menu. With these functions and options, the driver can get directions to an entered destination, have nearby parking places displayed or save the destination to the Favorites list. Some models (Audi Q7, Audi Q5 with automatic transmission) have the larger MMI all-in-touch. It provides audible and tactile feedback after each input – a click that the finger can feel.

MMI touch response performs its functions without a rotary/push-button control and touchpad. As a result, the center tunnel and instrument panel remain largely free of buttons and switches.

The central element of the operating concept is the 10.1-inch touch display in black panel technology. When not in use, the screen blends almost invisibly into the high-gloss black surface of the instrument panel. When the system is started, the user interface featuring new, concise graphics appears. With a resolution of 1,540 x 720 pixels, the gently curved TFT screen provides very sharp images and high contrast, even when viewed from an angle. The display is used for controlling navigation, media and vehicle functions. The driver can click, swipe, zoom and scroll on it. The menu structure, including the search function, is intuitive and flat, like that of a modern smartphone.

The arrangement of the tiles in the main menu and the direct access bar can be configured individually. The decisive strength of the MMI touch response technology is its haptic feedback. When a finger touches the display glass, it does not immediately activate a function – to do this, the user must press gently with a defined pressure. The mechanical impulse that the driver feels as confirmation feedback is created by an electromagnet that shifts the the spring-mounted display laterally just slightly – by roughly the width of a human hair.

At the same time a small loudspeaker emits a click sound. Audi is opening up a new chapter in terms of user experience here. A second display on the console of the center tunnel is used to operate the air conditioning system and convenience features.

The driver can save preferred functions as favorites. The display has an 8.6-inch diagonal and a screen resolution of 1,280 x 660 pixels.

Since the driver’s wrist rests on the tiptronic’s gear selector knob, the display can be operated very comfortably. The driver can also enter text – either via an overlay keyboard, which is possible when the vehicle is stationary, or by innovative handwriting recognition which can recognize entire words in cursive handwriting as well as overlapping letters. Acoustic feedback is given for each recognized letter, so that the driver can always keep his or her eyes focused on the road. The surface of both displays has a kind of anti-fingerprint coating. This makes it easy to wipe off fingerprints.

There is also an anti-glare layer that refracts the reflected light. This makes reflections fuzzy, reducing their interference. The outermost layer is tempered, similar to the Gorilla glass used on various smartphones. It is very strong and extremely scratch-resistant. Natural language voice control understands many formulations from everyday speech.

All that is necessary to call a contact is a command such as “I want to call Peter Miller.” The navigation system also responds to natural language inputs such as “Where can I refuel?” or “Where is the closest Italian restaurant?”. The new voice control system, which also permits dictation of text messages, is also available without an Internet connection and works with the Radio and Media menus too. Voice control is activated by pressing the voice control button on the steering wheel.

Models that use the modular infotainment platform 2+ (MIB 2+) and are equipped with MMI navigation plus have hybrid voice control. It answers commands and questions in two ways. For one, the system accesses data about the user’s preferences, including navigation destinations or special destinations that are saved in the vehicle, for instance. For another, it accesses knowledge from the cloud. The driver’s question is sent to speech recognition software as a data packet.

If the network signal is good, the answer takes less than two seconds to arrive. The driver can freely formulate spoken commands – the voice recognition system understands such sentences as “Please take me to the Adlon Hotel in Berlin”.

The clever dialogue manager asks questions, if necessary, allows corrections, offers choices and also accepts being interrupted. In dialogue with the voice control system, the driver can switch between different menu areas. For example, the driver can call a contact from the phone book and then use the associated address as a navigation destination.

The new hybrid voice control system is also connected with media sources, the air conditioning system, telephone functions and selected Audi connect services. Audi has conceptualized the compact rear seat remote for passengers in the rear seating area. This control unit is approximately the size of a smartphone. Its touch surface can be used to control many functions relating to air conditioning, seating, lighting, settings and media functions – from the HD matrix reading lights to seat and foot massage, the rear window blinds and music. When the matching Audi phone box is on-board, the rear seat remote can serve as a mobile phone. It integrates a microphone and a small loudspeaker.

In addition, it can remotely control the Audi tablet – this is especially convenient when the tablet is installed on the back of the front seat. On-board communication utilizes the new 5 GHz Wi-Fi band. The rear seat remote has a 5.7-inch touchscreen in OLED technology with full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels). Its aluminum case is very high-quality, and the technology is designed to withstand the temperature extremes that can occur inside the car. In the A8 (D5), the rear seat remote clips into and is charged in the center console in the four-seat model and in the center armrest in the five-seater.

Its battery enables up to six hours of phone use. Depending on the rear equipment specification, the control unit is supplied as standard or an option. The specified fuel consumption and emission data have been determined according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since 1st September 2017, certain new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions. Starting on September 1st 2018, the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) will be replaced by the WLTP in stages. Owing to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions measured according to the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those measured according to the NEDC. For further information on the differences between the WLTP and NEDC, please visit.

We are currently still required by law to state the NEDC figures. In the case of new vehicles which have been type-approved according to the WLTP, the NEDC figures are derived from the WLTP data. It is possible to specify the WLTP figures voluntarily in addition until such time as this is required by law. In cases where the NEDC figures are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are intended exclusively as a means of comparison between different vehicle types. Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. Add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO 2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle.

Further information on official fuel consumption figures and the official specific CO 2 emissions of new passenger cars can be found in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO 2 emissions and power consumption of new passenger car models”, which is available free of charge at all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and.
