bluetooth and Audi A6

[mikebode]

I have a new 8125 from Cingular (I think that's the same as a Wizard), and I tried to pair it with my 2005 Audi A6. The 8125 doesn't even see the car. Has anybode had a similar prolem, and so, is there a solution?

Hi Mike,

Just to let you know I have an Audi A4 with GSM prep and Bluetooth.

It works fine on my MDA Vario (wizard), but was crap on my old Sony Ericsson P900!.

If you look at www.audi-forums.com, a few people there have had Phone/Bluetooth problems with A6's which have been resolved by a firmware update from Audi.

Let me know how you get on.

My 8125 (TMO carrier) works perfectly with my 2006 A6 which has the technology package. Not only are calls clear and the connection fast, the car sucked all my contacts from my phone. Pretty darn neat.

Thanks for your help. I was able in the meantime to pair the phone with the car. I don't really know what changed, but after a few tries, the phone connected. :D

I tried to click on Markee's link, but it gave me an "unknown URL". Any alternative way to get to the forum?

@rambo6: My phone now pairs and I can use it, but I don't see the signal strength on the indicator in the car, nor do I get my contacts transferred. I noticed that my phone connects to the car in "handsfree" mode. Is there a setting that I am missing?
