Audi introduced the Audi tablet to provide passengers with versatile Rear Seat Entertainment. The tablet sports a 10.1-inch high-resolution (1,920 x 1,200 pixel) screen and can be connected to the internet.
The tablet is powered by the Android operating system. It also uses NFC (Near Field Communication) technology to transmit data from other Android devices when they are in close contact.
The tablet can be linked to the MMI Navigation Plus through Wi-Fi to obtain access to the radio, media, navigation, and car functions menus. Passengers can use this to communicate route instructions to the driver.
It comes with an in-built 32 gig internal memory, a microSD card slot for additional storage, and a full HD camera that can be used to make Skype video calls. The Audi tablet can also be removed and used outside of the vehicle by connecting it to an external Wi-Fi network.
The Audi Phone Box is a specific compartment created for your phone. It is often located in the car's center tunnel, such as inside the armrest. It is equipped with a USB port for connecting to and charging the phone.Â
The box also enables inductive charging based on the Qi standard, as long as the mobile device supports it. It works by transferring electricity from the floor of the phone box to a receiver coil in the smartphone via induction.
The phone box wirelessly connects the phone's antenna to the car's roof antenna for better reception.
Other features of the Audi phone box include detecting and authorizing the Audi connect key or the Audi connect key card. It can also be used by passengers in the back seat to make discreet phone calls.

Finally, Audi has digitalized the traditional car key and has transferred it to the driver's phone or mobile device, so that they can be used to unlock and even start the car.Â
Audi's Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is handy for drivers going on long trips or stuck in traffic. The system detects and measures the distance to vehicles ahead using radar sensors and a front camera. It maintains a fixed distance from the car ahead by automatically accelerating and braking.
Even when the device is turned off, the distance indicator warns the driver if they are tailgating.
When using the ACC, drivers can select any of the five distinct distance thresholds. Drivers can also modify acceleration and control system dynamics using Audi Drive Select.
The ACC Stop&Go function enables drivers to easily drive in heavy traffic. It automatically brings the car to a halt for a while and then resumes driving, following the vehicle ahead.
Drivers must, however, tap the accelerator pedal or the control stalk on the steering column after prolonged stops.
Head-up-Display
The head-up display projects relevant information on the windshield for easy viewing for drivers. Some of the information displayed includes navigation, assistance systems data, and warning messages. This makes it easier for drivers to see driving information quickly without having to re-adjust their view.Â
The display floats two meters (6.6 ft) in front of the driver within a 200 x 80 mm sight window (7.9 x 3.1 in). With the Audi MMI, drivers can decide which information should be displayed in the head-up display, as well as adjust display settings such as position and brightness.
