Audi integrates new apps for parking, charging, and fuelling

Audi has announced that with immediate effect, it will be adding two services to its app portfolio: "EasyPark", which makes paying for parking effortless; and "ryd", which handles fuelling, charging, and even car washes.

This makes Audi the first automaker to integrate these third-party apps directly into the MMI infotainment system. The app "ryd" is already available across all Audi models with the Audi Application Store, while "EasyPark" will be rolled out gradually by the end of Q1 2026. Both apps require users to set up an account with their respective providers, which also stores the payment information. After the installation from the Audi Application Store, the apps only require a one-time setup.

The premium car manufacturer already offers its customers a range of market-specific third-party apps via the Audi Application Store - from streaming services such as Disney+, DAZN, YouTube, AirConsole, and Spotify to news portals such as Bloomberg. The Audi Application Store, which was developed in collaboration with CARIAD, is integrated directly into the MMI and does not require a smartphone.
