INGOLSTADT: Audi is integrating YouTube, the world’s largest video platform, into selected models’ infotainment systems.
By embedding a new app store, customers can intuitively access popular third-party apps through the Multimedia Interface (MMI) via a data link in the vehicle.
Drivers who are also YouTube Premium members will be able to log in and watch ad-free content.
The YouTube app is now available in the app store for the first time.
The new app store was developed by Audi and Volkswagen’s software company CARIAD and its partner HARMAN Ignite.
Naturally, Audi models will continue to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay via the optional smartphone interface feature.
YouTube will be available starting with the 2024 model year in selected models equipped with the latest hardware and software cluster of the third-generation modular infotainment system (MIB 3).
Specifically, these are the Audi A4/A5, Q5, A6/A7, A8, Q8 e-tron, and Audi e-tron GT quattro .
