Default yes,

i was told all A6 have the connector, but if you want specific cable you have to buy it. There is a variety of of cables from ipod, mini USB, 3.5mm jack...etc. Btw they are $60 at the dealer

Just a quick note to say Thanks for posting. I got my BB sych’d with my 07 S6 last night using your instructions after not finding anything in my OM.

Nope, only if you have the AMI option, which a lot of 08's seem to not have as there was a large amount of them that came from Hertz Rental Fleets... and they deleted it and nav.

If you don't have it, the best way (since Audi Wants $1200 for the kit that's a $200 add-on when buying the car), is a Dennison 500, which can be installed behind the CD unit int he glovebox, price is basically the model number... $500... =-) Works well, and the devices will show up like another CD in the changer (IE: Disc 7 is an Ipod, etc).

Both options are worthless for me, since i have portable XM radio. I was told by the dealer parts guy if you have a AMI in the car it should work and only thing i need is that little cable. Than again, dealers knowledge is pretty bad and they have been wrong on many occasions.

On the MMI you will see bluetooth icon and signal (so you know if you have a coverage).
I tried everything and it says no telephone installed and i dont have the connection in glovebox either i have the one in the arm rest but no cradleAudiA6 S Line base model and I looked .

Try clearing the entire call history on the phone before pairing

I bought this Bovee WMA3000A bluetooth adapter from viseeousa for my 2008 audi a6, this comes with AMI cable and fits to iPod ready car. I can connect my Android phone via bluetooth easily and can stream music wirelessly and control the steering wheel and even do call switching between music and my cars Bluetooth Phone, etc... I find this cheaper than buying an iPod or any other cable because this device supports both iPhone and Android.
