    Wife has 2008 A4 Cab with Audi Bluetooth/ steering wheel controls. With current Nokia 6230i it works perfectly with full phonebook on the dashboard.
    However phone is on last legs and can't get a straight answer what current phone will provide the same functionality.

    For example I linked in my Nokia E51 and no phonebook came up, just basic BT linkage with car :-(.

    All suggestions welcome.
    Thanks

    I found that the Audi kit only reads phonebook entries from the SIM's phonebook, not the phones. If you can live with the limited number of entries on a SIM (usually 200) then just copy the phones directory to the SIM. You might need to do some tidy up afterwards as the SIM has limited characters per entry and can't handle multiple numbers per entry either.

    What I miss though is the ability to make use of the external antenna. Is it possible to replace the cradle with an antenna coupler so I get the benefit of the better reception from the roof antenna? My E71 doesn't have an socket for and external antenna so it needs to be a coupler.

    My wife just swapped her 6230i for a 6303, and it has exactly the same functionality via Bluetooth in her TT. She gets access to the full phonebook (stored on the phone, not the sim).

    Hope this helps!

    How new is the TT because older Bluetooth modules, such as the one in my '05 A4, doesn't see able to read the phonebook from any phone except those on the (very) limited Audi compatibility list - and I've tried a fair number of Nokias and Motorolas.

    Hi,

    The TT is quite new - September 2009. However, the original poster has a 2008 B7, so this should be OK too.

    We looked at the compatibility list before buying the phone, and it was too new to be officially supported by Audi. We ended up taking the TT to the phone shop and asking the sales person to link the phone to the car before we would buy it. This way we were able to check whether it had the same functionality via BT as the 6230i.

    Regards,

    MF.

    Depending on the BT module revision number as to what functionality you get.
    I have revision "M" and only get basic functions, my phonebook does'nt load.
    There is a nokia software update for phones that don't work properly with the newer revisions..

    Thanks for that info- just got rid of my toy 5800 Xpressmusic (possibly one of the worst phones Nokia have made) and bought a matte black 6303, should arrive tomorrow so will let you know how it fares in the B7 A4.

    Do you mean the Contact Download Application for the Nokia 610 carkit?

    I've tried that and it made no difference. It's also only an option for S60 phones (basically E and N series plus a few other premium Nokias). You can download it here http://europe.nokia.com/support/prod...r-kit/software
