All this talk about the iPhone-Audi BT troubles really makes me wonder. My Blackberry 7130e is on the official Audi approved BT list, I'm running the latest NAV software, and the phone constantly connects/disconnects regardless of software or settings.

Sure you get some antidotal stories that such-and-such phone works well in an Audi (Moto phones in particular), but the flood of dissatisfied Audi BT users is puzzling. Doesn't Audi give a hoot, or are they just baffled on how to fix it?

I realize that the BT protocol is not cut-and-dried but other car manufactures don't seem to have this much trouble. I'd order a new iPhone in a heartbeat if I was certain it would work in my Audi. It's pretty bad when a stupid car manufacturer dictates what phone you can or cannot own.

worth leaving on as a work-around, especially if one turns off Wi-Fi to conserve battery life. Occasionally my Audi would not recognize my Moto Razr either.

I have a Telus HTC P4000 (Which is a HTC Titan, or a Sprint UT6800). Anyway, when I pair my device it shortly thereafter locks up the phone. Great.

I tried this a few times when I got the car, but haven't put much effort into it since... I would like to get to the bottom of it though...

Any comments would be appreciated...

Sounds like a phone problem with just that info. Any updates available?

when I bought it, the salespeople at the Apple store didn't know if it would pair with Audi. So they did some research on the web and found a document that said, categorically, that it would NOT....something about the iPhone using a proprietary bluetooth...and that I'd have to wait for the iPhone 'car kit', which isn't available yet. One of the guys joked "you'll just have to get a different car." Many a truth is told in jest...

that a few have been revealed. No question that the ATT network when upgraded will require the next version of iPhone, that Outlook synchronizing may not be as easy as it should be, and that it has no GPS, but on balance the iPhone for me so far has been a good decision. FWIW, BMW NA had no idea of whether the iPhone would pair with my '06 650, notwithstanding their website information to the contrary, which they said was posted prematurely, and that the dealer told me flat out that it was "not an authorized BMW device," it paired immediately without any problems. What we are witnessing is simply a lack of experience and information about this device coupled with a tendency to find fault.

True enough, but doesn't excuse Audi's troublesome BT implementation.

Nokia E61: flawless
imate jamin: flawless
HTC TyTN: pain in the neck. disconnected every 15 min.

No iPhone yet for me... likely will come soon...

Otherwise I have the same problems you describe.
