OPi-A8 is a direct iPodо interface developed for Audi vehicles utilizing the MOST fiber optic bus. OPi-A8 is designed to interface with current versions of the iPodо and iPodо Nano. Once installed, OPi-A8 allows the ability to control iPodо functions from the vehicle’s head unit, and also allows partial control of iPodо functions (volume adjustment and track control) from the vehicle’s steering wheel controls. To minimize driver distraction, the iPodо interface buttons will not respond while the iPodо is docked and the OPi-A8 is active. While the iPodо is docked with the OPi-A8 interface, the iPodо will automatically begin charging. In order to activate the OPi-A8 your radio must be in CD changer mode. Vehicles equipped with factory installed CD changers will lose the function of the CD changer once the OPi-A8 is installed. Vehicles that do not have a factory installed CD changer will not lose any radio functions.
Audi has developed a completely new operating concept that has been released for the first time in the new Audi A8: Audi MMI or Multi Media Interface. The Audi MMI concept stylishly integrates all infotainment components into one display and operating system. By reducing the number of controls to the essential elements and a uniform operating logic, this system makes it possible to exploit tremendous function and technology potential while maximizing operating convenience. We recommend that you spend some time familiarizing yourself with the features and operation of the MMI and OPi-A8 while your vehicle is stationary. We incorporated several features into the product to allow quick and safe access to your favorite music or audio using head unit controls as well as steering wheel controls. Specific head unit buttons have designated functions. Below are the buttons used to navigate with the OPi-A8, and descriptions of their functions.
OPi-A8 was engineered for iPodо lovers by iPodо lovers, with a common goal in mind. Simplicity. OPi-A8 puts the familiar iPodо menu right on your head unit, making OPi-A8 an extremely user friendly interface. Music and audio files are displayed the same as they are stored on the iPodо. OPi-A8 allows you to browse music files by play lists, artists, albums, and genres. Before using your OPi-A8, we recommend that you organize your audio files into categories on your iPodо.
