    Question I didn't order the bluetooth phone set-up - what are my options ?

    I'm using the car differently from what I expected when I ordered it and I now need the bluetooth functionality I didn't order.

    OEM or something like Parrot or Nokia, what are my options to get bluetooth ?

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    I have a Parrot in my van, and my girlfriend has one in her A3 - both dead within a year, twice. Go for the Nokia.....
    Might be worth seeing if the bluetooth prep can be added as it's a plug in box I believe.

    Rob - you didn't miss anything. I have bluetooth in mine but the connection is very poor. It kept on not recognizing the phone, on and off, on and off.... I have a LG.

    I have bluetooth and it works well (with iPhone and with Nokia). Actually much better than the one in my BMW

    I have the Bluetooth in my '09 and it works fantastically! The sound is so clear both ways.

    The system in my old A4 avant was great, but no-one can hear me in the R8 even when stopped. I can hear them perfectly, of course!
