Bluetooth Connection

[Norrs2]

Thanks for all the replies!

I have a Sim Card in (pay as you go thingy), and the phone works just fine, and I use it for outgoing calls - great!

You guys are obviously right though, because nothing has worked in terms of getting the Iphone hooked up. Bummer!

I have a mate who has a business installing Bluetooth, Alarms, stereos etc, and he says Audi's are the worst to fit anything modern to, due to their use of individual amps etc everywhere, and to get the (my) A8 to take modern Bluetooth and Ipod connection requires a system (albeit one that will mate with MMi) is in the region of £400-£500.

So, PsYcHe, would you be kind enough to point me to your thread/write up to see what's involved in your other option?

Thanks

Found it.

It's still a couple of hundred quid for the bluetooth module unless you're lucky.

Then I'd need someone to fit it.

I'm not too bad at all understanding all things mechanical and within an engine bay, but electrics? - I once almost blew the house up trying to wire a spotlight in my kitchen because it had 2 switches. I'm as much use as a handbrake on a horse when it comes to that stuff.

Could be then that my mate's unit that also has Ipod might not be a bad option. Will that affect the voice control functions? (for the phone only I pressume).

Looks really good, lots of different options there.

he's a good guy who done just about every conceivable retrofit you can think of, so knows his stuff, he does travel about a bit so you may not need to travel far.

5 minute job to change the modules over..... Not difficult DIY, but for the price of a pint you might have a forum member in your area who'd sort it

Craig at TCL is excellent too, highly recommended but it will be the more expensive route.
