system. Each user is assigned their most recently  
used settings.  
Before driving off, you can select a user in the  
MMI system and load their individual infotain-  
ment and vehicle settings.  
Applies to myAudi users: The stored set-  
tings can only be transferred to compatible  
vehicles. This capability may be restricted in  
certain countries.  
Possible users in the MMI system:  
myAudi user: myAudi users can use Audi con-  
nect services which require a myAudi account.

count in another vehicle, you can load your set-  
tings into that vehicle.  
Applies to myAudi users: The settings can  
only be transferred and loaded within the

activated: If a recognised user is displayed  
on the MMI and you drive off or wait without  
entering the 4-digit PIN, the guest user will  
be selected. Some of the settings of the rec-  
ognised myAudi user will be transferred to  
the guest user.  
Local user: Local users can only store their set-  
tings in the current vehicle. Your settings can-  
not be transferred to other vehicles. Audi con-  
nect services which require a myAudi account  
are not available.  
Guest user: Guest users can store their settings  
in the vehicle without changing other users’
