Bluetooth Audi help

[TGabriele]

Hello all. This is my first time posting a new thread although I've been lurking around here for a while soaking up all the information from this wonderful site. That said, I have been researching my problem for days now both here and on google and have found no solutions that work. So I'll see if there's anyone here who can help. Here goes....

I have recently flashed DCD's 3.2.6 ROM on my Verizon XV6800 and it works great (love the aGPS too, Thanks GC14) in every area but my car. I have a 2004 Audi A4 with the RNS-E Nav system with integrated bluetooth. Before I flashed to DCD, I had the original stock ROM (2.09.605.8 with Radio 1.30.00) which gave me full functionality with Jetware Mobile (Phonebook and Recent, Received & Missed Calls all transferred). Now, with DCD, it'll only connect to the car and won't transfer anything. If I try to load Jetware, it'll just lock up my phone while I'm connected to the car. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

No one else has this problem or a fix for it? :(

I wish I was rich enough to afford such a car, then I could maybe help you out. LOL

But I would gladly accept such a car as payment for figuring out your problem. :D

Nevermind that the car is an Audi. Does anyone else have this problem with a factory BT system that transfers the phonebook to their car.

I had this same issue on my X3 and it seemed to be the way the PPC wanted to transfer the phonebook was by using some file transfer protocol the car did not understand. I could sync it and make and receive calls but no phonebook. Took it to the sprint store and we tried a blackberry and a standard moto handset. The blackberry did not sync the phonebook either but the standard moto phone did. I don’t think it’s possible based on the profiles in the car so I gave up on the phonebook. Try changing the bluetooth stack in the rom, you will have have to make your own rom and beware of the stack you use to make sure it is one for your phone.

I flashed DCD's rom using the kitchen, so making a custom rom from there is no problem to me. What I'm not sure of is how to change the bluetooth stack. I thought it is part of the hard coding for the OS? If you or someone else reading this thread has any information on this or can point me to some info on this it would be greatly appreciated.

I have the 6800 with DCD 3.2.6, and an Audi, with full phonebook transfer so I'll try to help you out:

1. Which 6800 radio are you using? I have found 3.42.50 to be the best as far as Audi bluetooth compatibility is concerned.

2. Jetware will not work with WM 6.1 on the 6800, but you don't need it, since 6.1 included phonebook transfer enhancements.

3. What version of Audi software are you at? There have been several releases since your year. You should be able to get more info from www.navplus.us and of course from your stealer. :)

4. You do have your bluetooth settings set for "discoverable", right? And, (I don't know why this is the case) it seems when OBEX is on, the phonebook and other items transfer quicker.

If you have the 6800 radio and Audi software updated, you should have no problem. Jetware is no longer necessary.

1. I am using radio ROM 3.42.50

2. The reason I loaded Jetware is to have it sort my contacts by Last,
First. Is there another way to do this?

3. I am running sw0200 on my RNS-E, but was considering moving up to
sw0260.

4. I haven't tried this, but I will.

Lately I've also had the issue where if the phone is connected to the car for a while, the bluetooth on the phone will shut itself off and not turn back on until I do it manually. I'm beginning to wonder if I should just hard reset and start from scratch. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I'm sure there's a reg tweak for listing First name first in contacts. Hunt around here or at ppcgeeks. If you want to stay on 6.1 jetware will not work (unless they release a new version).

Definitely update the Audi software to the newest version.

DCD has done nicely fixing power settings in the last few ROMS to solve the bluetooth shutting off issue, although when memory gets very low, it may still happen. You must have some other program or process running that sucks up memory if you are still experiencing this.

It never hurts to hard reset, as long as you have the time.

So, I've updated to SW0260 and done a hard reset and I'm still experiencing problems. Do you have any more suggestions? Thanks in advance.

I'm running an after market HU (Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD) and DCD's latest ROM, and Jetware works fine on mine. Just re-transfered my phone book earlier today....
