My dealer tells me that there are only two phone cradles available right now for the A6. These are for the Motorola V60 and an Ericsson phone. Given that my Kyocera 7135 isn't bluetooth enabled and isn't one of the models above, I'm wondering what other options I have for connecting my phone. I've heard mixed things about how a bluetooth adapter would work in this situation. Anyone have any suggestions?

I ask the Blackberry to "search" for the Audi, its finds it, pairs, but then will not display any info on the MMI. Calls sent and received are not routed through the car.

Just a heads up that not all Bluetooth phones are created equal.

I heard that Audi will be co-marketing the new Treo 650 in the next couple months.

Thanks for the heads up. I'd be happy if I could find a cradle that would work with my Kyo 7135.

I remember seeing a list with the supported phones and available cradles. Maybe ask April for it if you can't find it.

Concerning the bluetooth connection. I'm hearing that many devices such as the Blackberry have bad programmed bluetooth interface and Audi's system is requiring a clean programmed interface ... I guess that's similar to HTML standards years ago and Netscape / IE interpreting the standards differently.
Same happening here.

I can't get an answer from anyone on this feature and it is important for this market segment. Audi service, parts and sales are clueless on how to enable ALL the bluetooth features, including the directory lookup and handsfree dialing. HELP!

Also, I was told that the Mot V60 phone needed the On Star feature to work and now that feature is not on the C6. WTF? I have a $50K car and Audi is no help.

Just do a google search on Audi Treo 650 and you will get a number of hits.
