The release notes for 4140...
said specifically that among other things it was meant to improve some Bluetooth compatibility issues. The notes were posted briefly but then vaporized, probably over a copyright issue or some such. Thus may be worth a shot.
4140 should of course be subsumed inside 4610. Having just done the 4610 update, it wasn't clear to me what the obvious changes were. But since they have the clean up disk with it, it may have had a fair amount to do with just simplifying updating and getting away from the old problem of needing to pass through the 3360 update to avoid frying modules if you skipped straight to 4140. from a pre 3360 version.

Had update done today.
Paired to my BB without a hitch.
Got my wife's Samsung out, and yes, this time 'round it paired quickly, no problem at all.
BUT...the MMI will NOT allow contact/phonebook transfer with the Samsung.
We're screwed. Paid for the update, expected all to be fine, but still no phonebook transfer.
What's with the Audi engineers?
What's with the Samsung engineers?
Good grief - phone pairs and transfers contacts on my other vehicles just fine.
Crap.

There would be dozens of updates to MMI every month if it worked with everything, it wouldn't work well with most, and there aren't any true standards for BT transfers.
ps - I'm still looking for a desk check binder that doesn't exist anymore for checks that can still be ordered and I have thousands of
pps- reminds me, need new ribbons for the Selectric, can't get them for the Remington anymore

Transferring the contacts from the Samsung may be challenging, but since I have a BT MacBook I may try that first or perhaps even pair the two phones.....and I guess your suggestion would be create a hotlist on the BB with all her contacts, and push the hotlist to the Audi....would it really 'stay' with the Audi? Always thought the MMI read the BT device, and read the contacts directly.
Thanks for the suggestion...will give it a go.
