iPhone and Audi A8 W12

[oilyrag1424]

My A8 has the Motorola handset in the arm rest, I can get the iPhone to connect to this but not the car. I was told to update the cars MMI firmware? because it fixed a Bluetooth bug? Then someother people have told me you cannot connect because off the Motorola handset?

Please help....

i would check that your car has bluetooth fitted to it first, rather than bluetooth on the car handset.

Audi tec did say the motorola in the armrest was bluetoothed and not hard wired , and I thought all A8's had Bluetooth?

if you've got the phone you're stuffed. If you've got the cradle you're ok.

this guy can retro fit the module, but it's not cheap

Cheapest solution is a Parrot or similar. I have the same problem.

Or a cheapo PAYG sim then set up a divert when you turn your mobile off.

The Handset does use Bluetooth, but you the owner aren't allowed any where near it. So you have to get the extra BT module fitted to connect any other phone, or as suggested, just go with a Parrot kit or the like.

Bloody annoying and typical Audi.

you can ask your phone network for another sim on the same number. you will have the same number but sims 1 and 2. you have sim 1 in your phone and sim 2 in your car. when you get in your car turn off your phone and because sim 1 cant be reached calls get forwarded to sim 2 in your car then when you get out turn on your phone and all calls goto sim 1 again... simples haha
