AudiPartner Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I'm struggling to pair my phone with my MMI equipped Q7. When I do what it says in the book, pairing the car with the phone, it fails. So I decided I would use my phone to pair with the car. When I search on my phone, it finds something called "Audi07854". This is obviously the car, but I can't pair with it. I'm wondering if this is because the previous owner has paired with it, and perhaps I need to delete him first? This shouldn't really be the case as it says you can have up to five phone. Hmm... any advice? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Shouldn't matter who was paired up previously. First of all what phone are you trying to pair up? Which phone prep do you have? is there a cradle plate under the armrest? Does it say AudiUHVxxxx or AudiBTAxxxx when you find it? What version of the MMI is installed in the car, press CAR then VERSION to read it out or press SETUP and SETTINGS and scroll down to Version.

AudiPartner Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 My phone is a Sony Ericsson C510. Phone prep is cradle in armrest yes. No handset in it, has space for just sim card too. Nope, it just says "Audi07845" (or some other number, just looks like first 5 digits of a mobile, deffo starts 07). Will check on the software version tomorrow and report back. Thanks.

craigyb Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 How old is the Q7, that sounds suspicously like the old motorola system, don't recognise the device you have found as the bluetooth has two possible options, UHV and BTA, so it looks to me like you have the in built car phone. Especially with the SIM slot, as neither of the two BT options have a SIM slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiPartner Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Ok... I have the following. Hope it means more to you than it does me! SW: AU-HU 51.5.0 0739 HW: AU716-HU. 6387D2.0 My Q7 is indeed an early one; 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 That's the MMI software version and it is 5150, fairly new so someone has updated it. But back to your phone kit, does it deffo have a SIM slot in the phone cradle, if so then this is the Motorola system and is not bluetooth compatable with another mobile phone. The only option really is to upgrade to phone prep high and get full bluetooth compatability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiPartner Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 It definitely has a sim card slot yes. Hmm... so I either upgrade (how?) or buy whatever phone fits in the cradle? Oh, no I don't need to do that, I just put sim card in cradle... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiPartner Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Actually, if I need to use a particular handset, or need to put a sim card in the slot, then whats the point of bluetooth?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 You can just put a SIM in the cradle and it will work as a phone system, but of course with it's own number which a lot of people do not want. The only phone that fits into that cradle is the motorola privacy handset which bluetooths to the car system like a head set, but a handset. If your happy with a SIM in the slot, there are plenty of handsets available on ebay for a euro or so as no one wants them, I think I even have one here.

AudiPartner Posted March 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Sounds a bit pap. How do I upgrade it then to pair up with my new iphone? Thanks mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 You need to upgrade to phone prep high, this will remove the phone and cradle and replace it with blank trim and a new bluetooth ECU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
