While I appreciate your detailed response, it misses the point.
 
Verizon is the nation's largest network. Yes, they are under pressure to enable more Bluetooth profiles. And, yes, they also should be criticized for failing to serve their customers properly. However, that does not excuse Audi's failures to properly inform customers BEFORE they buy a car about the limitiations. Audi should do a better job of working with Verizon and finding out what Bluetooth protocols will be supported and creating and updating a list of pbones that will work with its various models.

Audi does inform the consumer. Perhaps your salesman didn't encourage you to test the interface with your phone?

Retrofit BT into an A6 by terminatorx5

Folks, have a technical question - my mom has a '04 A6, no factory BT installed.
 
Is it possible to buy a BT module and install into the car? In BMW world, the US-spec bimmers are pre-wired for a phone, all you have to do, is get a BT module that plugs into existing connectors in the trunk, a BT antenna that plugs into the BT module and a center console holder that has a BT pairing button and you are all set.
 
Is it that simple in AUDI? I would like to set up my mom's car with a BT, and have no idea where to start...
 
Any help would be appreciated,

T-X5

I bought the car through a broker so I never dealt with a salesman after the test drive, but on Audi's website is a lengthy, and periodically updated phone compatability chart. For Verizon (or Sprint) CDMA phones (I'm a Verizon customer) the Motorola's generally work the Korean phones (LG and Samsung) generally pair but won't import the phone book. My Verizon Motorola works perfectly with my 2006 A4 with bluetooth.

Audi Bluetooth connectivity issues with Blackberry devices by soluved

hi,
 
I have an '08 A4 with bluetooth package. I just got a blackberry 8310 and I'm unable to pair it with the factory built Audi Bluetooth. When trying to search for bluetooth capable device, the blackberry can't find any. I know the Audi bluetooth works as it previously used to work perfectly with my Nokia. The Blackberry is able to find other blackberries just fine. Anyone else have a similar experience ?
 
thanks

2005 Audi A4 - Has phone button - but cannot install a phone? by kraal

I am wondering what solutions people have found for installing a bluetooth phone into their Audi A4's. I have the new body style 2005 A4 with Navigation. There is a phone button. But when you push it says 'function not installed'. So I called the Audi Dealer and he said you cannot install a bluetooth phone and to buy a Garmin Nuvi with Bluetooth OR I heard a Parrot CK3100.
 
I am wondering, if I have the Parrot CK3100 installed, will my steering wheel controls work with it? On Crutchfield, they sell a wiring harness adapter, however not for my year and type of Audi. Where do I buy the adapter? Or would a good car stereo person hardwire it just as easy?
 
Thank you in advance for any ideas, tips or solutions you may have.

Hi Kraal
 
I just bought an S4 2005 and I am having the same problem that you described. My Bluetooth doesn’t sync either. The dealer offers me a solution for $650. Did you find a cheaper solution?

Audi A4 Bluetooth -- Doesn't Dial through to Voice Mail Box by mh12345
Dec 19, 2008 (2:24 pm)

I've just bought a 2009 Audi A4 which I love, but can't solve one Bluetooth problem. Bluetooth syncs up fine with my Blackberry Curve (AT&T is the provider), recognizes my Contacts direcly in the phonebook, but does not recognize "pauses" I've programmed into numbers in Blackberry that allow me one-button access into office voicemail (i.e., access number, pause, mailbox number, pause, PIN). The Bluetooth stops dialing after the access phone number.
 
For that matter, there doesn't seem to be a way to program a phone number direcly into the car's memory with "pauses" that would allow one touch access into voicemail.
 
The only thing that works is dialing the voicemail access number on the Blackberry itself (or using a one-button dial on the Blackberry) after it's synced with the Bluetooth. It then dials and recognizes the pauses and puts me where I want to be on the voicemail menu. But that misses the point of handsfree!
 
What am I missing here? It must be possible for the Bluetooth to handle this task somehow.

Did you ever get an answer to this problem with not being able to use a pause command? I've had the same problem with my '09 A4 and Blackberry.
