Audi’s new integration with Apple Music means owners of nearly all 2022 models will be able to stream music directly from the built-in infotainment system. No need to connect to your iPhone.
The company says existing owners of 2022 models will also get this feature via an over-the-air update…
The company announced this today.
Audi is integrating Apple Music, a premium music streaming subscription service, directly into select models. Adding Apple Music to the infotainment system gives users the ability to directly and intuitively access their subscription from the Multimedia Interface (MMI) screen using internet data in the car. This seamless integration allows Apple Music subscribers to find their favorite music and discover even more new music.
The new Apple Music integration allows customers to access their personal Apple Music account directly from the Audi infotainment system without the need for Bluetooth or USB. By linking an active subscription to a car, Apple Music subscribers can access Apple Music’s full catalog of 90 million songs and tens of thousands of playlists, including hundreds of new mood and activity playlists, personalized mixes, and genre stations, all without ads. […]
Apple Music integration will be included in almost all Audi vehicles in Europe, North America and Japan starting with the 2022 model year. The integration will be conveniently rolled out to vehicles already on the road through automatic over-the-air updates.
The company naturally took the opportunity to talk about its car audio systems at the same time.
Audi creates individual acoustics for each model, and digital signal processing ensures a well-balanced sound. For example, the signals from the speakers can be individually time-shifted and thus reach the listener at the same time. The sound design goes even further to create the ultimate acoustic experience. This is where the Audi sound designers tune the frequency response to create the typical yet subjective Audi sound.
Audi has been collaborating with Bang & Olufsen in this context for many years, which has led to the development of some exceptional sound systems such as the premium B&O 3D sound system for the Audi e-tron GT. Here, 16 speakers, including 3D sound speakers, a center speaker and a subwoofer, provide an impressive sound experience.
German automaker Porsche has been offering a similar integration in select models since 2019.
