Audi's new generation MMI
Someday we’ll all be driving computer chips and watching Powerpoint presentations on in-car plasma screens
Audi aims to be at the very edge of this in-car infotainment revolution and has the MMI II to prove it. Launched in 2002, MMI (Multi Media Interface) was hailed as being more user-friendly than BMW’s iDrive system, although MMI has considerably many more buttons than iDrive.
A new version of MMI will now be offered immediately with A8, later A6 and then Q5.
Improvements to MMI are quite numerous. A new TFT display with a resolution of 800x480 with LED background applies. The system comes with a 40GB hard drive, 10GB of which can be used to store music like in a jukebox – while the rest of it can be used to store log book and satnav information.
Speaking of satnav, the display can now show images in 3D using an Nvidia graphics processor which makes it even more realistic for the desperate traveller. Other “normal” applications include Bluetooth which can be paired with your cell phone for that hands-free requirement, a USB port, auxiliary jack for portable MP3 players as well as the TV function.
