I am just about to take delivery of an A4 Avant with Phone Prep High.
I have received a list of compatitble phones from my dealer, however this hasn't been updated since April 2008, I have tried contacting Audi UK and they said this was the latest list they have.
Does anyone know where I can find a more up to date list?
Will the Blackberry Pearl (8120) work?
I want a phone that will give me full phone/sim access from the address book, any ideas?

My Blackberry 8800 works fine with Phone Prep Low, it transfers all contacts to the car and I can use the steering wheel controls to ring and answer.
If the software is the same I think the 8120 should be ok.

Thanks for the info.
For some reason no Blackberry's are listed on the Audi list, do you know what the software version is?

Does anyone know if a Nokia E65 will work?
Software version 2.0633.65.01

Generally, Nokia E- and N-series won't work fully with Audi bluetooth *low* phone preps as Nokia, in their infinite wisdom, have not included the Bluetooth PhoneBook Access Profile (PBAP) in these phones. I have a 55-plate A4 and my old Nokia 6230 worked fine but my shiny new E51 does not! :mad: There are loads of posts on this subject in nokia forums...
However, these phones *do* support the remote SIM option which is used in the high prep kits (basically, the phone is in the car kit - the nokia just provides access to the SIM card via bluetooth).

Thanks for the info. Based on that my phone should be able to transfer everything from the sim to the car. I won't change my phone just yet then and see if it works.
Do you know if this include numbers stored on the phones memory or just those on the sim?
