I went out to disconnect everything but before I did, I decided to try to reset one more time. This time I opened the glove box door before I turned on the power and noticed that the CD Changer started going through self check sequence. I let the sequence finish and did the three finger salute and a couple of seconds later the MMI started up and just like that I became the happiest guy ever. I guess I was too impatient the two times I tried to bring the system up. I did notice that pairing the BB Gateway together with the Audi BT phone connection causes random interruption every once in a while. I paired the BB only and it is working perfectly. Thank you all for the pointers and help. One last thing I noticed is that the MMI takes two to three seconds to start now that it has to pass through the xcarlink, is this normal?

No - You can only control it from the device and no info shows up on the screen. This is the big difference between this and the AMI / Dension units. However, since this setup is wireless, I don't see that as a major concern - easy to control directly from the device.

That's AWESOME! Great to hear it. I have no trouble pairing both the phone and the bb gateway simultaneously, but that could be a phone thing. I use a Verizon HTC Droid Incredible.
My MMI is a bit slower to boot, that is normal.
Did you end up with the BB gateway in the glove box?
Enjoy!

Just wanted to double check if a slightly slower boot is normal, thank you.
Nah, I left the BB with the xcarlink because I like the least visible things as possible. I did think about it before placing it with the xcarlink that accessing is not going to be as easy. But I thought that for the once in a very great while times I expect myself to go reaching for it I figure that removing the black bottom panel to access it is not too much trouble for me.

Hooked it up knowing I need the MMI update first (I am still on one of if not THE earliest versions) and it worked for 30 seconds and the MMI crashed.
Took it back out until my update disks arrive.

The music gateway is powered by a standard USB power source. I hardwired the power to a switched lead in the fusebox using this:

You also need unswitched power for the xcarlink MMI adapter. I can look at where I tapped in to the power, but i am currently 2500 miles away from my car for the next few days.
Using this setup, it turns on with the car and syncs immediately with my phone.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
