Audi’s A1 Sportback sports a 1.4-liter TSI gas burning engine equipped with both a turbo and supercharger and a 20 kW (27 hp) electric motor is a technological wonder that’s slated for an early 2010 launch.

It’s cool “Audi Mobile Device” integrates the navigation, audio/video, car phone, contact database and other functionality into your WLAN capable cell phone.

This allows the driver, for example, to switch on the vehicle’s air-conditioning if required and program the sound system to suit his personal preferences, all from the comfort of his own home.

Access and start authorisation for the Audi A1 project quattro is also provided by the mobile device, dispensing with the need for a key.

The Audi mobile device also offers the vehicle owner an extra security function: images from a camera in the vehicle interior can be received on the device’s display in real time. If the vehicle alarm is triggered, the system activates itself and warns the owner!
