Setting Up Bluetooth – iPhone with Audi

Jan 8

Apple products and Audi’s are very compatible. It is said “if Apple made a car it would be an Audi,” the iPhone is no exception. The Audi interface on the MMI (Multi Media Interface) with the iPhone is seamless. Keep in mind your Audi has to be bluetooth equipped for this to work, also pairing can only be done when the vehicle ignition has been on for less then 5 minutes.
Picture Description
First press the telephone button to make sure your iPhone has not already been paired with this vehicle. If the phone is not paired the message below will come up on the screen in your Audi.
Picture Description
Go to the starting page of your iPhone and you will see an icon that looks like gears labeled “settings” go into this aplication.
Picture Description
This is a detailed up close image of the “settings” icon.
Picture Description
Now that you are in “settings” go into the the toolbar labeled “general”.

You will then go into a screen that has a Bluetooth toolbar, make sure that Bluetooth is ON.

After selecting the Bluetooth “on,” you will see the Audi pairing with the iPhone device, it will only take a few moments for the Audi to find the iPhone device.
Picture Description
Now that the Audi has located the iPhone you will be asked to enter your PIN#, the default PIN# is 1234. After entering the generic PIN# the Audi and the iPhone will pair, this will only take a few moments.
Picture Description
It will briefly read “paired”
Picture Description
You will now see a new screen come up that is your dialing system for your hands free device. Below this you will notice a small Bluetooth icon.

Picture Description
You can enter most of your iPhone functions in regards to the phone, such the memory of calls both out going and those you have recieved.
Picture Description
Feel free to input a phone number to try the new system out.
Picture Description
And as an added bonus while your iPhone is docked in the iPod adapter in the glove box it will keep your iPhone charged for you.

I just got a 2006 A6 Avant. Even though the iphone shows the device is paired, it does not always come up in the MMI screen, it still shows the initial message “your phone might not be coonected properly”. This is hit or miss. I would say that everytime I get in the car I have to go thru the motions of attempting to pair the iphone (even though the device was paired and working last time I was in it). Any ideas? BTW I do have a couple thousand contacts in my iphone do you think this is part of the problem?
Thanks so much for such an informative instruction

Javier,
Yes having that many contacts may be part of the problem but more likley you need a TSB (Technical Service Bullitian) on your new A6. Call your Audi dealer and set up an appointment to have it resolved.

From Scott Mitchell on February 10th, 2009

On my 2006 A6 I have bluetooth function but the clarity of my calls is only acceptable at slow speeds. When I get on the freeway there is so much background noise that the person on the other end can not hear me speak. Any recommendations? Where are the microphones and is there anything I can do to clear up the reception?

From David on March 2nd, 2009

David,
Try turning the volume of your phone down this has been known to help. If not there may be a software update (none that I know of) however if you play with the settings in your phone you should be able to fix this.

From Scott Mitchell on March 4th, 2009

I’ve got a question about this. I am looking at getting an Audi and have an iphone. Is the Audi MMI capable of pulling m address book from the phone so it will be available using the MMI? Will caller ID work? I have paired the phone in my current car but none of the above works, so I have to look up or manually dial all my calls and get “unknown caller” when someone is calling me. Hoping going a bit luxury will fix this. thanks

Justin,
Yes, iPhones and the Audi MMI system are very compatable, it will pull your contacts, upload your phonebook and you can retrieve missed calls aswell as outbound call history. Your iPhone will charge at the same time.

Scott,

Just bought an A4 from John. I have an Ipod Nano connected in my glove box and it seems to stop connecting when my bluetooth enabled iphone goes off. I’m assuming that the bluetooth interferes with the Nano since the iphone was installed before the Nano.

Any thoughts?

From Parker Trewin on June 2nd, 2009

Hi there,
I have been successful in pairing my Iphone with my new A4. However, when I dial a number from the directory, it dials the first name in the directory, even though I’ve chosen a different name and the correct name and number originally showed up on the MMI screen. The only way around this is to dial directly from my Iphone directory.
Is this a common problem, and is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks!

From Dana on November 24th, 2009

Dana,
I have not heard this concern before. I would bring the car into the dealer that sold you the car and have them check the system.

From Scott Mitchell on November 25th, 2009

Just wondering, when connected to the Audi (S5 Sportback) via Bluetooth with the iPhone 3Gs,
Does it sync all your contact numbers also? missed and received calls etc…?

kind regards

From Sam on March 6th, 2010

My iphone is paired to my S4 when I start the car then it disconnects itself (blue tooth to phone) a message on my phone says handsfree disconnected and the car display says your phone may not be connected. I have to keep pairing and it keeps disconnecting during my trip. Why is that?

From Amy on April 20th, 2010

I have an iPhone and an Audi A4 at first it would connect to my audi interface but now it won’t and it does not sync my contacts. I have changed iPhone but it still does not work can anyone suggest Anything as the garage said their is nothing they can do ?

From Andrew Buglass on May 2nd, 2010

Hi there, I just picked up my 2010 A4 and imported my contacts from my Iphone onto the harddrive of the car. The problem is that the iphone keeps the contacts on the phone and the contacts in my Outlook as seperate groups even though they are identical. MMI picks up all contacts which means I have duplicates of all contacts. Any suggestions??

From Wes on May 10th, 2010

We have an A4 and while driving and listening to music if my iphone rings it is INCREDIBLY loud! I have the ringer on the iphone turned down and the music is at a normal volume. Is there a way to adjust the bluetooth volume?

From Heather on May 18th, 2010

Heather,
The next time the phone rings turn the volume down with the steering wheel control and the next time the phone rings it should be at the new level.

From Scott Mitchell on May 18th, 2010

Hi i’ve set my iPhone up with new A4 as above but for some reason my contacts have not come accross into phone book! My contacts are all stored and managed on Outlook which is linked to my phone and am told that shouldnt make any difference so what have i missed or doing right?

From Tony on June 28th, 2010

I have the same issue. My IPhone used to work fine with my Audi A6 MMI interface, but for some reason the contacts now do not sync. Please help. Audi and Voadafone do not have a clue

From Alex on July 6th, 2010

I have a 2007 b7 Audi RS4. My previous phone worksed just as you have shown. it finds the audi bluetooth on the phone and after inserting the code its great. However, I just purchased an iphone4. This phone does not find the Audi Bluetooth. It simple constantly is searching for devices and never finds one. I always try immediately after starting the car and reset my bluetooth on the car as well. I am simply stumped and do not know what to do.

From Chip from Detroit on July 22nd, 2010

I have also just purchased an iphone4. My previous nokia n97 paired ok but now after entering the pin it says ‘phone not paired’ the car is an RS4 2006 model.

From Fairzee on July 25th, 2010

Ok, all sorted now. You can access the pin to pair via the settings on the mmi. My pin had been changed from the default one. I changed it back and the phone paired straight away! All my contacts were ther too
