Now I've read your posts this could be why? I've been educated!
Although I have the Audi phone module built into the car, I've replaced it once and then that one failed, so, I've now by-passed it so the MMI system still works.
I didn't realise the old parrot I had would have (possibly) been connected via the tv tuner, but, it makes perfect sense as to why my old parrot hasn't worked since.
The main reason I'm writing this is that I didn't realise the old (non Bluetooth) Audi telephone unit was directly replaceable with a Bluetooth one?
Has anyone done this and do you recall how much you paid for a 2nd hand one?
Hi mate:
Forget the parrot in the D3, it's not possible to fit in.
Parrot handsfree is designed to be inserted between the ISO connectors of the car and the ones of the stereo music, that is, parrot has a dedicated amplifier (not very powerful, must be honest) that is used to feed the 4 channel output. So, it works fine with a "standard" car (4 channel speakers, without amplifiers nor fiber optics), but not in our complex - 12 channel - amplified - fiber optics A8/s8.
I know very well this handsfree, I have fitted both mki 9100 in my other 2 cars. Sounds fine (except the power output that is very poor), but nothing compared with the factory fitted sound system of the D3.

If you want a good bluetooth handsfree / Bluetooth stereo, buy a Fiscon handsfree in Kufatec

Hope that it helps. Best regards
