As the perfect companion for any purpose, the RS 6 Avant and the RS 6 Avant performance offer comprehensive infotainment and connectivity. The standard MMI navigation plus uses the MIB 2+ modular infotainment platform, with the Audi connect data transfer module integrated as standard. This makes a Wi-Fi hotspot that also supports the 5 GHz band and the fast LTE Advanced transmission a car standard.
When planning the route, the self-learning navigation system makes suggestions to the driver based on routes driven previously, incorporating experience regarding time of day and traffic density. The route is calculated online on the servers of the map and navigation service provider HERE, which also considers real-time data concerning the overall traffic situation. If the data connection is lost while the car is on the move, the navigation system will switch to on-board route guidance, which runs in the background. The driver can access gas stations and parking garages from the navigation system and will see additional information such as fuel prices, availability of parking spaces, and business hours.
In the first three years after the car is purchased, the driver can update the map four times per year free of charge – over the air at LTE Advanced speed, if desired. Audi connect navigation & infotainment services are also free of charge for the first three years. The Car-to-X services, traffic sign information, and hazard alerts use the swarm intelligence of the Audi fleet, while the on-street parking service makes it easier to find a parking space.
Audi connect offers many other services, such as Twitter and email access. Navigation with Google Earth, online radio, and hybrid radio, which automatically switches between FM, DAB + and web channels, are part of MMI navigation plus. The Audi connect navigation & infotainment services are provided by the Audi connect SIM, which is permanently installed in the vehicle, and are free of charge for the first three years after purchasing the car. The functions of Audi connect emergency call and service constitute a separate package. Owners of the Audi RS 6 Avant can use the myAudi app to explore the brand’s digital ecosystem. With the optional Audi connect key, customers can lock and unlock their RS 6 Avant und RS 6 performance via an Android smartphone.
The Audi phone box makes phone calls easier. It connects the smartphone to the car antenna and is capable of charging it inductively, provided that the telephone supports this function. Voice-over-LTE helps to connect faster and makes it possible to use high-speed data transfer and high-resolution online voice telephony (HD Voice) at the same time.
