How to Identify Your Audi’s Factory MMI System

Audi vehicles come equipped with a variety of factory navigation systems, depending on the model year, trim level, and optional features. At first glance, many of these systems appear nearly identical — they often start with the “Audi Multi Media Interface” welcome screen and share similar menu layouts. Because of this, it’s easy to mistake different MMI versions as the same. However, each system has distinct features and compatibility, which is why identifying the correct version is essential before choosing any upgrades.

If you’re unsure which type of factory radio or MMI software version your Audi has, don’t worry — we’ve created a simple guide to help you. With just a quick check of the MMI software version on your screen, you can easily identify your original Audi head unit and the system version installed from the factory. It’s easier than you think, and this chart will walk you through it step by step.

Check the original car information

The easiest way to identify your MMI system is by checking the software version directly on your screen:

1. Please start your Audi.
   Let the infotainment system fully load.
2. Press “Car” button.
3. Press “Setup” or “Menu” button on your console.
4. Go to “Settings”
5. Scroll down to “Version Information”

• Navigate to Setup MMI → Version Information.
• Look for first letters and numbers of Software Version
• You’ll see something like: (Software Version: HN+_EU_AU3G_K0942)
