I will have the iphone set as the primary device and the car set as the secondary device.

I wonder if this will cause any side effects like text messages received in car won't be available on iPhone, can iPhone still transfer phone book and calls list to car?

Obviously ideal option will be the way BMW did it - SIM card for data only and phone via bluetooth.

Yeah you get phone book and calls list on the car.

If that's the case then it means car is using data via UMTS using inserted card and using Bluetooth at the same time to pull phone book, calls list data. Doesn't make much sense to me...

I might be confusing you a little here.... The phone book and calls list is available when the phone is connected on Bluetooth but the sim card is not. When the sim card is in, the calls list and phone book comes from the sim card.

Thanks for clarification. I think I'll complain to Audi UK and live without data for the time being.

My car is due to be in UK early March, fingers crossed maybe they will sort this problem with update or something.

lol I ordered my car in November and it was due in May (it wasnt even supposed to be built until week 13!) - it is here already and I collect it on friday

I would check that it isn't sitting at the dealers already

When did you order it?

**m3-fast** · 12-01-2012,12:36 AM

The primary device will still receive the text messages etc..

I ordered it early November and was given June 2012 estimate due to custom paint (I'm getting sprint blue). When build was scheduled in December, collection date was revised to early March. Salesman gives me good update on build progress, he will let me know when car will be in UK.

I have emailed Audi UK following similar feedback from dealer, but not had any reply as yet.

If I understood it properly you have to set car as primary device which means iPhone won't receive some of my text messages. For me that is unacceptable.

Lucky you with new car on Friday, I guess you know what you're doing for a weekend!
