BlackBerry 8100

[Brian Dix]

Just purchased an A3 SE with dash mounted phone system, I am having to use a Nokia 6230i, works well, but would like to use my BlackBerry 8100. Does Audi intend to make any changes to accomadate this?

I have a 2007 A3 with the factory fit GSM phone kit and made the same phone swap; nokia 6230 to BlackBerry 8100.

The only way i have found to connect the Blackberry to the car was via bluetooth. The functions avaiable are limited but it works very well. the biggest downside is you don't get to charge your phone as you drive and the boothtooth connection means the phone's areil is used not the one intergrated in to the car system.

Audi really are failing here, the factory car kit was expensive and i inlcude the arm rest option and steering wheel controls (more money) and they don't do a cradle for the BB! Humph.
