Default negative.... button inactive WHICH pisses me off

Because my 2008 loaner A4 s-line has NO bluetooth phone prep installed but the voice control is still there...... and will take commands, even without a phone linked.

Stupid stupid audi

Default Answer to all of your questions

Here you go:

If you get an S5/A5 with Navi option it has different electrical system (fiber-optic) and no voice control despite the button. If you get it without tha Nav option, the electrical system is the same as in a current A4 and the voice control works (phone only just like in the A4) It makes no sence but this is how it is for now and for a while, knowing Audi they rarely change thigs rapidly.

If you dont get the Navi, you loose all the MMI controlls on the center council. You get MMI-like controls on the dashboard below the CD changer.

The salesman who sold you the car is clueless...
