Default shocked, no bluetooth

I just purchased a 2011 A5 3.2 S line. No Bluetooth? I'm very surprised that in 2011 this was not standard. Am I missing something?

In the US, the 2011 Audi A5 with S-Line package should have a bluetooth interface. Bluetooth interface is standard for Premium Plus and Prestige trim levels. If your car has the Premium Trim Level, Bluetooth interface is an option together with the Homelink garage door opener. But, your car has the S-Line package so it should either be a Premium Plus or Prestige. So, it is not making any sense unless:
1. You are located somewhere else outside North America, or
2. Your car was fitted with S-Line badges but it does not really have the S-Line package option.

Is there such a thing as a vin check which shows the original build specs? Its a Canadian car.

If you are on your desktop, look to the top ether just under or to the right of the AudiWorld top logo there should be a tools tap that has a drop down. there you will find a VIN decoder you can use.

Edit: I see you are in NB, how is the snow down there still? (I am from Freddy)

Vin decoder calls it a Premium Plus, Im guessing now someone used some badge engineering. Moncton is still snow covered.

You can download the Canada Order Guide for the 2011 Q5 here: https://www.audiforum.ca/q5-q7-58/20...r-guide-55560/

According to the guide, your Q5 should have bluetooth.

Just to cover all our bases here, did you look in your manual to see if there was instructions on how to pair your phone?
