By using an original module, full integration with the vehicle's installation is maintained, including the buttons on the center console and other controllers within the vehicle's network.

Choosing a factory multimedia module helps avoid problems typical of universal solutions, such as communication errors, interference with other controllers, or malfunctions of comfort features. Original electronic architecture ensures stable operation and predictable behavior of the entire system.

Construction and integration with vehicle electronics

As a component from the Electronic control modules and controllers category, this head unit works with other controllers in the vehicle via communication buses specified by the manufacturer. The module is designed for a specific Audi platform, which translates into:

• consistent operation with the factory MMI system,
