Audi A6 2005 - Electrical Systems

• Networking
• Bus topologies
• Convenience electronics
• Infotainment

The new Audi A6 consistently adopts the highly networked electronic architecture, which is already used in the Audi A8L. Overall, new technologies allow the A6 to match up with its "model" vehicle, the Audi A8L. Features, which were previously reserved for luxury vehicles, are now also available in the top-class segment.

In combination with these diverse capabilities, the underlying technology has, of course, been enhanced considerably. The use of the most modern network technologies, such as CAN, LIN, MOST and Bluetooth, and the related distributed vehicle functions signals the arrival of a new generation of vehicle electrical systems in this class.

Some of these are safety-related features, such as the combined Rain/Light Recognition Sensor G397 or the adaptive headlight system. Features previously found on only the A8L premium luxury sedan, such as the MMI operating system and advanced mobile phone communications, are now available on the new A6 sedan.

Audi Self Study Programs are designed to help the Audi dealership technician prepare for intensive factory training classes. This book provides introductory information regarding the introduction of new features, designs, and functions.

Caution:
Audi Training Literature is not a Repair Manual. For maintenance and repair work, always refer to the current technical literature.

This technical training is based on information available at the time of its original publication and assumes that repair work will be performed in a dealership by a qualified service technician.

Audi is constantly updating its automotive systems and designs; therefore, this booklet may not cover components or systems that have changed over the course of the vehicle's production, and will not apply to vehicles produced after its publication date. It provides conceptual background for the professional automotive technician rather than specific service instructions.

Applies to:
Audi A6 2005

Audi Service Training literature will be most useful for those seeking a better conceptual understanding of Audi's innovative design and engineering. While it is not for vehicle repair, it is more technical than most sales literature, and it provides a useful theoretical background for using repair manuals.
