Hi all,

I have a 2010 A3 (8PA) with a Concert 3 head-unit. I dont think the car is prepped for phone as my phone (iPhone 5S) does not find an Audi bluetooth signal.

I'd like to install a BT module and dont mind if it means replacing the head-unit, but it must be "factory" and not some glitzy flash-bang head-unit. I was looking at the RNS-E but that seems to be a very old unit and I was wondering if there is a more recent compatible unit that would do the job. If it comes with Nav then that would be a huge plus.

Worst case scenario, could I install a BT module onto the Concert-3?

The important thing, is that I don't want additional controls - no Parrot stuff! I would like to use the controls already available on the steering wheel which simply has two up-down rockers a "speak" button and a "mode" button.

Any advice would be really appreciated!

Cheers,

Rich
