Setting up a phone in a 2010 A3

[kprm77]

Just bought a 2010 A3 today. If I click the "Mode" button it says "Insert Phone".

I've done some googling which suggests just turning Bluetooth on on my mobile and pairing it to the car which should appear as "Audi". My phone doesn't find anything (bluetooth on the phone is definitely working). Will my 2010 car even have Bluetooth? If so should this be visible to devices or do I need to do something to switch it on?

Or - does it need an actual phone or SIM in the car? My old A8 D2 had a phone though that was a 1999.

The documentation which came with the car isn't a lot of help as some of it seems to relate to later cars - not sure if my car was just before a facelift??

Any ideas?

From switched off, turn on engine (or just ignition), do bluetooth search from phone within 3 minutes of turning engine/ignition on, will appears as "Audi XXX 111", pin number is 1234.

I'd tried what you said but it was after I'd been driving the car for a while. Just tried within 3 minutes and it's worked fine.
