Introduction
Heating / air conditioning system
versions
Two heating and air conditioning systems are specified for
the 2015 Audi A3 depending on model.
•
•
manually controlled air conditioning system
Climatronic
The Climatronic system has a moisture and enthalpy
control system. The moisture control system is used to
detect windshield fogging.
Enthalpy is a measure of the energy content in the air
conditioning system. Air conditioning efficiency is ensured
by precision control of the fresh air to recirculated air ratio
inside the vehicle.

Operation
The two versions differ from one another with respect to
their equipment specification. All versions are optionally
available with seat heater control buttons. The seat heater
is a three-stage system and the selected heating level is
indicated by an LED in the respective button.
Both versions have a dust and pollen filter. The Climatronic
system has an activated charcoal dust and pollen filter. In
combination with the Air Quality Sensor G238, the activated charcoal component in the filter works to reduce
pollutant emissions in the fresh air inside the vehicle.
Some of the rotary controls in both versions have multiple
functions, such as for turning cooling or automatic air
conditioning ON and OFF.
The dust and pollen filter can be replaced through the open
glove compartment.
The table shows an overview of the main functions of the individual versions:

controls the actuators of the A/C system. Refrigerant
Circuit Pressure Sensor G805 communicates with J301
through a LIN bus.

Depending on vehicle engine type, both air conditioning
systems may have Coolant Shut-off Valve N82 or an Auxiliary Heater Heating Element Z35.

To control the internal energy (enthalpy) of the climate
control system, Climatronic Control Module J255 requires
additional information about the relative humidity of the
outside air as well as that of the interior.
To this end, Humidity Sensor G355 supplies interior air data
to J255 via the Convenience CAN bus. Outside air humidity
data is sent directly to J255 by a LIN signal from Humidity
Sensor in Fresh Air Intake Duct G657.

Infotainment
In response to the speed at which the development cycles
for information and entertainment systems occur, the
automotive industry has had to shorten its development
cycles as well. Keeping up to date with the latest advances
is a growing challenge for car makers.
To meet this challenge, the Volkswagen Group has introduced the Modular Infotainment Platform (MIB).
Central to the development of the MIB, Information Electronics Control Module 1 J794, has been re-designed as a
modular component. The control module architecture
allows the hardware to be easily and economically updated
so that it always incorporates the latest technological
advances.
An important component is the graphics processor made by
market-leader Nvidia, with whom Audi enjoys a very successful business relationship. The latest Nvidia processors
will continue to be used in Audi vehicles in the future. The
new platform means that it will be possible to use the
same central processing units (J794) across the entire
Group. So, in the future it will be possible to run brand
specific variants on four standardized hardware platforms.
Overview of versions
In the North American market, the following versions of
the MIB will be available on the 2015 Audi A3:
•
•
Standard MIB - MMI radio
High-spec MIB
•
MMI navigation plus
•
MMI navigation plus with Audi connect
