Bluetooth Retro fit

**PhilMill63** · 07-01-2011,04:42 PM

Hi all, I need to get some sort of bluetooth set up in my newly purchased 2.0t and I see on eBay there is a guy selling what he says are Audi bluetooth kits with loom, mic and module, anybody know if these are the real deal and if so how difficult to retro-fit?

Thanks, Phil

Hi

Not to bad to fit but some of these units come from Lithuania etc etc i fitted one to my old A3 it worked fine but didnt do everything i wanted i had the old iPhone 3G and it wouldnt down load the contacts my freind now has this car and has the iPhone 4 and it still wont download etc etc, You may want to try a FISCON kit you can get them from Fiscon UK and are not to hard to fit either i did mine in my current 06 Audi A4 S-Line

and i'm no expert but i did have to visit a dealer to code my car to enable the phone bit but this was painless and cost me £20, also the Fiscon kits are probably the same price as the ones on Ebay and at least you have a UK supplier to fall back on and as a bonus the Fiscon kit streams music from ny Iphone through the speakers and sounds awesome.

Thanks for that, I will look at the Fiscon kit, maybe I can tie up bluetooth with Ipod/iphone link up then.

Thanks. Phil

Is it this one .

I was in the same boat as you last year after alot of reading i decided on OEM as it seem to get the better feedback here and on other forums .

So i went for the unit posted above , works perfect and a good price to .

If you want music/ipod you can add a xcarlink or dension car kit , i have the xcarlink which works well as i don't do apple .

Just my opinion but i would have OEM over fiscon any day of the week.

Hi, i have just looked at the OEM bluetooth kit via your link, does it come with good instructions as i don't want to waste a whole weekend and have "er in doors" giving me the eyes. I might also go for the Xcarlink of dension, which would you recommend?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, what head unit do you have , mine is a single din so it was a bit more complicated to wire but if you are experienced with audio electronics it will take a couple of hours .
If you have an RSN-E double din unit i'm sure its easier .

This is the website of the people on ebay .

Just so you know if the mic does not work , unplug the connector and turn it round some have been wired wrong in the block , mine was but its a very easy fix .

I have no experience with dension but heard good things about them, i love the xcarlink as i can play Mp3 via 3.5 jck plug, sd card or usb stick the quality through the sd card is fantastic.

Others that use apple can advice you better than me, i'm sure someone will be along to help.

I have A3 2007 2.0t s-line with symphony II double din. Do you get text on the display with the Xcarlink?

**PhilMill63** · 11-01-2011,09:02 PM

That unit is what I have been looking at but I was told that I may have problems using an Iphone with it? I have just bought an Iphone 4

I'm not 100% sure as i don't have an iphone/ipod here is a link to there site

http://www.xcarlink.co.uk/product.ph...6&cat=4&page=1

With my xcarlink that only connects to mp3 via a 3.5jack plug it does not show info as is can't be passed through this lead. i think the ipod one does as it the connector on the bottom of the ipo. you will have to check .

Pilmill 63 , again i'm not sure as i don't have an iphone , my htc desire works perfect which is one of the newer phones on the market .

That is the unit i purchased last year and it works with no issues at all with an iphone 3gs and iphone 4. Technical backup from these guys on install was also very good. Highly recommend.
