Default iPhone connectivity with Audi bluetooth update...

The <a href="http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306173">version 1.0.1 update</a> for the iPhone was recently released by Apple and although nothing specific was documented about a bluetooth pairing issue fix, it seems that somehow that has now been worked out. No extended trials yet but after my 40 minute drive to work today (traffic makes a 10 mile drive take that long), the iPhone did not unpair at all like it normally does, without being plugged into the car charger. On the way home, same findings, no random unpairing issues after the usual 5-10 minutes of driving. It stayed paired the whole time and only unpaired when the ignition key was removed. We'll see if this problem was really remedied after a few more drives this weekend...

Let me know what you iPhone users experience after doing the software update.

Default Now that you mention it, I had no random unpairings today

The phone was in my pocket rather than plugged in like usual. I had people with me and was not paying attention so I did not even think aboutit until I read your post. Thanks for pointing this out.

Default Can't get my replacement iPhone to pair at all!!!

POS 8gb won't pair, Tried resetting the RNS-E and Restarted the iPhone. No luck.

The old 4gb did pair, but it unpaired after riding around for a while. Too bad the screen took a dump.

Oh well.

Default Thanks for the post. Aside from random upairing the car makes an annoying tone just before connect-

ing on outgoing calls. I'll try iPhone this morning after the update.

Default Has anyone VAG-ed the blue-tooth connect/disconnect tone?

It's louder than the alarm beep.
