Apple Music will be available in a large number of AUDI vehicles via a software update.
The integration of Apple Music into the MMI screen of the AUDI will give owners the ability to access their personal library directly.
To get Apple Music activated, users have to open the app on their car and log in with their Apple ID. Christiane Zorn is the Head of Product Marketing at AUDI.
Integrating Apple Music into the Audio infotainment system marks the next step in the collaboration between Audi and Apple. For our customers, it means that we are offering them direct access to their own personalized listening experience. This is our understanding of a premium digital in-car experience. At Audi we are systematically driving the digitalization of the vehicle and we are convinced that the interior is increasingly developing into a third living space.
Almost all of the existing 2022 model year audi vehicles will come with Apple Music integration, thanks to an automatic over-the-air update. The first three gigabytes of data are free of charge, thanks to a data package from Cubic-Telekom in Europe.
Apple Music is not the first service to be integrated directly into a car's dashboard, with other services like Apple Podcasts already being integrated. In the summer of last year, Mercedes began to integrate Apple Music.
