Audio issues with MMI

[AdiHH]

Don't worry about not seeing the bluetooth symbol - it only shows when your phone is connected to the MMI via bluetooth and you haven't paired them yet.

Go to the option in the MMI where you can set the Bluetooth pincode and set it to something like 1234.
Switch your phone on and hold it close to the centre console (left knee if you're sitting in the driver seat of a UK car). The phone needs to be pretty close to the bluetooth antenna when making that first connection.
Now get your phone to search for bluetooth audio devices and it should find a device called "Audi UHV nnnn" then just continue and enter the MMI Pincode you entered earlier, eg 1234
Then your phone will pair with the MMI.

IF your phone cannot find the car's bluetooth module then you need to consult Audi or get someone with VCDS to check for a problem with the bluetooth module. I doubt that there is a problem with the module if it is installed because any problem with a module on the fibre-optic ring (esp the bluetooth module) will make itself known by interrupting radio, navigation, cd every 10 seconds or so. You're not seeing this, so either your car has no bluetooth module, it has been bypassed with a fibre-optic bridge or you're trying to pair the phone with it being held too far away from the bluetooth antenna (hence my remark about holding it close to the gearstick area, as close as you can to the antenna).

Phone definitely can't see the car

Had it as close as possible to the MMI screen and nothing. Tried a few times, set everything back to default but nothing.

what phone do you have

[bazzaric]

iPhone 4S on Software version 5.1

[a8 tech]

turn off the phone turn off the car

turn the phone on then the bluetooth on

turn the ignition on and search again

if no joy you need to run the bt disc clean and hope it flashes as the phone control unit has locked up

Just tried three different phones and none worked. The only disks I have are the navigation disk and one that says MMI onboard handbook!

You can buy them cheap from Audi

but please post as asked the current sw version

Do all signs point to me having Bluetooth an it being faulty or to not having Bluetooth and the issues being something else?

bt is locked up but still has some comms running hence the mmi is showing the phone

all this is speculation without a loop test but looks like its locked up

just check the mmi phone set up is set to allow bt connection
