Facts
- The MMI screen rises from the centre of the dashboard; when it is lowered, its functions move to the display between the dials.[4]
- The rotate-and-press controller sits behind the gear selector, ringed by function keys, and works through menus for audio, climate, navigation and suspension settings.[4]
- The D3 brought Audi's first GPS navigation system with DVD maps.[1]
- In mid-2008 the A8 was the first Audi with a new MMI generation: an 800 x 480 display, a 40 GB hard drive and 3D maps rendered by an Nvidia graphics processor.[5][3]
