Remember if you have a FL car BT audio streaming works out of the box.
Bluetooth Audio via MMI/AMI *Finally Possible*
Bluetooth Audio via MMI/AMI *Finally Possible (on Full MMI 3G Only)*
OK - So I've spoken a bit about trying to get some kind of decent bluetooth audio support on the MMI/AMI system:
A5OC - Streaming Audio Possible...here's how
A5OC - relocate Ipod Cable
However this weekend I finally had the brainwave which made it possible:
YouTube - Audi MMI 3G Bluetooth Audio Solution (via Modified iPod AMI Cable)
This uses the regular iPod AMI Cable and any iPod accessory out there to make any iPod speaker dock system bluetooth capable (lots of them but get a decent one since it will be doing digital to analogue conversion), the trick is to modify the AMI cable so that the MMI/AMI system thinks the 3.5mm Stereo AMI Cable is connected otherwise it will try to talk to the iPod in Apple language.
This is better than using the regular 3.5mm Stereo AMI Cable with a similar bluetooth receiver accessory because it is cleaner and you don't have to worry about providing power or charging batteries in the receiver.
The modified iPod AMI Cable will still work directly with an iPod (albeit as an external audio input only, no AMI control) but a switch could be added to enable the cable to function in both modes - essentially a compatibility switch which would select whether a real iPod is connected (fluent in Apple language required for AMI control) or a dummy iPod is connected (e.g. bluetooth receiver, not fluent in Apple language).
I just wanted to put this out there to see what people think
Note: The ugly thing connected to the iPod in the video is just a bluetooth transmitter since the iPod Classic doesn't have builtin bluetooth, it wouldn't be required on any other bluetooth capable device (e.g. iPod Touch, iPhone or even non-Apple device).

Flattering
anyone still making the cable? I already have a bluetooth module, just need the cable. my previous Flyout cable from warren went bad! it's now only Mono and i dont know how to fix it, might be easier to buy another cable
it's now only Mono and i dont know how to fix it, might be easier to buy another cableI think the best bluetooth module out there for this task is the BlackBerry Gateway. its powered thru USB and turn on/off with ignition. (you don't have to re-connect each time)
my flyout cable is bad, i need to buy or fix this one.

A5s support Bluetooth Audio with the Bluetooth Mobile preparation.
For those want a more expensive option, they can retrofit the Bluetooth Mobile preparation instead.
Yesterday I tested mine working with perfect sound quality.
Check the photos attached

Only with the facelift bazmangr- and this thread was started way before the FL was even announced
