Default Bluetooth streaming?

Does the 2015 A6 Premium Plus support bluetooth streaming?

How about the 2014 A6 Premium Plus?

Comparing used car options...

Thanks!

Just a heads up - I have a 2012 B&O Equipped car and have tried both Bluetooth streaming (from my phone) and actually copying my audio library (MP3 200+ rate files) to a SD card in the car and there is NO comparison in terms of sound quality. Bluetooth was horrible compared to the quality of the SD card MP3 files. Since then, I have focused on maintaining the SD card and using that.

Not sure if I'm just a stubborn audiophile - but really the quality difference is significant. Sorry to jack the thread a bit - but I thought I would chime in. I do think our cars do support what you are after too - both years. A loaner 2012 PP model supported streaming...

My 2014 tdi premium plus with Bose does Bluetooth streaming just fine. Quality is OK for me too.

Audiophile myself , and honestly you can't do any critical listening in a car while driving down the road anyway.

Just picked up a '14 Prestige and it streams both Pandora, as well as Amazon Prime. Haven't noticed a huge difference in audio quality from either app vs onboard audio files. Pretty sure this is an option across all trim levels.

My 2012 streams Bluetooth music so I see no reason the 2014 won't. As Silver said you lose fidelity across Bluetooth, I'm not sure which version of Bluetooth the Audi's use but I would say it's about the same sound quality as satellite radio.
