I've done the b-t as well. Connects to iphone 4s, but so far no luck with iphone 5s? Software update?

Mr_V 20th September 2014 05:16 PM

Here's a pic...

Gave it some lurve and attention this morning... before it started raining.

Been busy with the 8 since you got her, got anything else planned apart from driving and enjoying?

The more I see the split grill 8's the more its growing on me. +++

I have been looking at the facelift conversion, but can't justify it. It would be cheaper to buy a later facelifted model.

I have given the rear lights some attention with rubbing down and polishing, and de-badged the rear. (retained the Audi rings of course)

I would like some way of playing music from a usb stick, but do I just retrofit the audi ami?

I feel the need to stick with retrofitting genuine audi kit, but it does make it more expensive..

These modules are +/-£50 on Allegro.pl - just need to find some Polish bird to translate, I just can't figure out how to pay with credit card via Upay.

Talk with our resident Polish chap Marcin, he's more than helpful.

Personally - I prefer the look of the split grill (not biased at all) as it almost has the purity of the lines of the D2 +++

Well, I took the plunge and ordered one from Poland. £74 with postage.
Next up will be the 54 pin connector from the dealer.
I currently have the Motorola in the armrest. I take it no other parts needed? Bluetooth aerial etc.. already in place somewhere?

PsYcHe 21st September 2014 06:03 PM

Bluetooth aerial should be on the one you have already. and you can get rid of the motorola unit from the console too and get some space back.

snapdragon 21st September 2014 07:10 PM

Thanks PsYcHe and a belated thankyou for your previous thread..

Hi everyone

No problemo with translation and forget about PayU or whatever Allegro is using.
They will give you just bank details (Swift code and something else), you transfer the money (bank's fee usually 10quid-Lloyds) and you will have it in few days.

I can ask my supplier as well, just let me know exactly what you want.

When I fu**ed my BT module during the MMI update, I got one from Poland as well for 70quid as I needed exactly same SW number, not the only PN due to lost driver, so I had to match what was there before - very very difficult with so many different SWs.

Just PM me or post here and I will always help as much as I can, or even call them or get my sister to complete the sale and send it to your address if necessary +++

snapdragon 29th September 2014 07:52 PM

Cheers MA8, got my bluetooth box from Poland at the weekend and the connector housing from the dealer. Now need to find time to fit it.
Someone hit me up the back today, only minimal bumper damage but will wait till that's sorted by sytnerdrive/dealer as don't want too many things going off at the same time.

Just had a look and slid off the upper seat rail covers, and they are triple-square bolts and I don't have sockets for these and my T50 will slip. I have ordered these in the hope that they will suffice...

All fitted and working.
Had to update it's firmware before it would pair with iPhone 4 - even then it seemed counterintuitive. I hope it works with the 6 when it arrives.
Thanks guys+++

M-A8 10th October 2014 09:00 PM

Brilliant stuff mate, well done +++
You deserved a :pint:

I've just updated to an iPhone 6 and was looking at pairing by BT to use an ELM327 data device plugged in to the OBD port. It would appear that the iPhone/iPad has restriction on Bluetooth support (Basically iPhone/iPad/iPod requires the BT data device to have a special Apple authentication chip which 99% of the BT adaptors don't have). In order to use standard Bluetooth devices in data mode you therefore may need to jailbreak your iPhone. :mad:

snapdragon 19th October 2014 07:26 PM

Thanks chaps - just bought an iPhone number 6 and whereas the iPhone 4 showed car as Audi MMI, the 6 shows it as Audi BTA 1729.
When I use google navigation on the 6, the sound comes out of the car speakers, I'm sure that didn't happen on the 4 (maybe I never tried it).
It's a great bang-per-buck retrofit.
