The growing diversity and complexity of features and functions in cars is demanding greater and greater operating convenience and is playing an important role chiefly in the higher-class vehicles of all automakers. Already today, car drivers and passengers have access to a great deal of information and entertainment systems such as e.g. radio, CD, TV, navigation and telephone. This mixture of information and entertainment (infotainment) will increase in significance in the future. In order to be able to conveniently avail of the accumulating abundance of functions and options that infotainment systems provide in the car, Audi has developed a unique user concept - the Multi Media Interface (MMI).

In the MMI, all infotainment components are stylishly integrated into a single display and user system.
Although the scope of user controls has been optimised to the bare essentials so as to make using the system very intuitive, the user still has access to the full range of functions and technolo-gies.
The MMI concept consists of the operating unit, the so-called MMI terminal, situated between the gears and middle armrest, and the additional display area in the cockpit.

Now, a mobile operating unit also provides back-seat passengers with the facility of directly accessing all features of the MMI. The MMI wireless remote control developed and manufactured by digades consistently pursues the user logic of the MMI and, like the operating terminal permanently integrated in the centre console, it is optimised to the most essential control elements.
