Audi Data Bus Systems

Based on the limitations of current networks, the increasing number of control modules needed and their divided functions, and the increasing amount of data exchange required, further developments in data transmission technology must be exploited for use in automobiles

The following data exchange innovations have been added to the familiar CAN data bus systems already in place for use in Audi vehicles:

• Single-wire data bus  Local Interconnect Network (LIN) data bus.
• Fiber-optic data bus  Media-Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) data bus.
• Wireless data bus  Bluetooth wireless data transmission technology.

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:
New Data Bus Systems

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.
