If so whats the best way to do it ? thanks in advance . |

If you have the phone kit with the SIM card slot in the car then you are never going to get the phone to work with the car.
Essentially the kit in the car is a phone in its own right and not a handsfree kit, you have two choices really. 1) Replace the entire phone kit in the car with the Audi A8 bluetooth kit which is a straight swap, but you'll have holes left from where the handset lives in the centre console. Somthing like this kit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-A4-A8...-/321564061644 , but you would not need the wiring. 2) Do what I have done, get a cheap PAYG sim card from O2, Vodafone, etc. and add some credit, and place that sim card in the car. Now when driving, I enable call forwarding on my usual phone to the number of the PAYG sim in the car. You can still make calls using the car, just that caller display will show a different number to the person calling, and you'll have to pay for the call. Number 2 works for me, as I very rarely make any calls from the car and I've used £4 of credit in 11 months.

There are a couple of detailed threads about retrofitting bluetooth module in place of the motorola carphone. It is fairly straightforward for a DIYer and lives under the passenger carpet. I got one for £74 delivered from alegro.pl (Poland's ebay)
