A8 Phone issues?

[scmckean]

Hi,

i have a 03 A8 with a cradle but no phone and can not get either the bluetooth or the sim card to work. Neither could the Audi garage!

Blackberry bold, which see's the car and goes through the pairing but then does not pair. Asks for the code.

So, i get a pay as you go sim card and put it in the slot and it tries to read it but then says "sim card not functional"

Garage has plugged in laptop and no faults showing.

Any help?

Cheers Stuart

Can't pair my Blackberry to my '06 A8 either so have put a sim card into the cradle. Think it is an issue with the Blackberry rather than Audi. May be able to get updated software.

Works fine through the MMI system

Privacy handset is not the same as GSM preparation for Bluetooth. The wireless only works with the provided handset and not another bluetooth phone.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply's.

Understand about the bluetooth but can not understand why the sim card in the slot is not working?

Thanks
