Thanks for this hint which was exactly something I've been looking for a while as I did not want to buy something that may/likely may not work. Having seen the video I ordered one straight away and now it's connected and tested. And yes, it does work perfectly fine. Sound quality is superb. This is far more practical than using iPhone adaptor shown in video (which btw, the Apple adaptor is the only 'cable connection' that works properly, i.e. you can listen the music, not just charging your phone). Moreover, Audi's AMI 'cradle' is unfortunately a bit too small for the current iPhone models which tend to get just bigger in size and, therefore, having a phone connected via the cable requires 'a bit of squeezing' to fiddle in which is annoying. Therefore this Bluetooth adaptor is a fabulous gadget. Thank you very much for this hint.
I found that if you pause with the steering wheel instead of the phone it will actually keep the music paused. In case you haven't found a work around.
Very nice of you that you inform other like-minded people of usable updates for thr car. Thanks Is it possible for you to check whether you can connect the front and rear camera (parking cameras) to a recorder so that you can film while driving. As proof of traffic accidents, to the insurance company in a guilty question.
I don’t have a front camera. Dash cams are so cheap now, I’m not sure it would be worth the hassle of trying to hack into the mmi to integrate a recording device. Interesting thought though!
@@AutoDetourI know already that there are external solutions, but they are still a cheap emergency solution for an expensive cult car that is already is equipped with cameras. The fact that Audi has not taken advantage of the opportunity itself may wonder. But as you mention have spent energy on unimportant activities as ding dong sound like only distraheer driving.
Got one of these the day I got my car... essential IMO.. Especially if you purposely got a model with the B&O system cause you require perfect sound! (Still requires dynamat and a subwoofer upgrade/retrofitting, to sound PERFECT) . Also... you need to get a quality BT adapter or do something a little more extreme like some of us.. to get a could BT connection
hey, also have a 2010 d3 a8 with B&O and want a high-quality Bluetooth streamer? what did you end up getting? also how was the bass on the B&O before you got the sub vs after?
You need to pause the music using the stereo or steering wheel controls, not the phone. This could be achieved by pressing the volume barrel, the mute button or pressing volume up and down simultaneously. There are a lot of functions to each stereo but a limited amount of buttons in a car so there is a good chance “pause” is a combination of buttons.
Thanks Ryan.. mine is a 2008 S8. I have been having this car for 4 years now.. dont have out cable for audio. Need to search the glove box today.. I use FM modulator not so good
Is there anything next to your CD changer in the glove box like Ryan's S8? If not you might have to purchase a MOST AMI unit. You can find them used on eBay for about $250 USD or find a salvage yard that has a 2007+ Audi A8 and pull one out of it.
Ok, I found the solution myself. There are two cables to connect to AMI - USB cable and 30 pin cable. My S8 is 2008 so it has MMI 2g. Now I have to find the part number of the 30 pin cable. Please help :)
Hello can i use one for my phone with a tyce C end?? My radio is dead is totally broken how can i play music without having to use radio as its not working anyone able to help please
Hey buddy.. I brought the same thing for mine but I haven't had the chance to put music on my phone as my computer shit itself, but can you use yours for "Hand Free phone calls"? It appears that mine was able to have a phone connected via the input port in the driver's armrest but it may have for been an older generation Nokia phone.. European design for the masses Not.. LOL
Hey Dinko, you need a cable that looks like the following: www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Audi-Music-Interface-AMI-Cable-Adapter-For-Apple-iPod-iPhone-30-Pin-NEW/323770589022?fits=Make%3AAudi&epid=1437205324&hash=item4b623b1f5e:g:lYAAAOSwntRcW8xN The USB cable that is in your glove box, follow it to the end and remove it, replace it with the above cable.

Hi I’ve been having trouble with the music playing in my Audi. I connect to carpro and when I play the music it says it’s playing and connected but I can’t hear it from my car
Yes. You can control any music that is stored on your phone using the buttons, but you can't control third party apps like Pandora, Spotify, etc. Hope that helps!
Dinko Popov i feel your pain! Mine came with Denison DW500 with 30 pin connection installed by the previous owner. Crazy thing is it won’t let me play music through the adopter
@@AutoDetour The Bovee was a few bucks more but it worked flawlessly whether playing music or answering phone calls.. I was skeptical about the purchase but it was one of my favorite purchases last year

you just saved me so much head ache thank you

@@AutoDetour hi, any luck?
@@AutoDetour hi what about pause ?
if you have an aux connector you can buy axt to bluetooth adapter. its cheap just like 18 dollar and it works so good
Can you use it with android as well?
Thanks for sharing will give it a try. I used bovee & it did not work on my 2008 A8
Thanks Ryan.. mine is a 2008 S8. I have been having this car for 4 years now.. dont have out cable for audio. Need to search the glove box today.. I use FM modulator not so good
Seyyed Adel The same story. I need the part number of the cable too

I bought something similar a while ago, turns on if plugged into a charger, but doesn't turn on when I plug it in my car.
Any ideas?
Will this work with the Audi A4 2016 I can only use my phone bluetooth it’s so annoying or any recommendations for my model.
Will this work in my 2005 a6?
Thanks for sharing Ryan 👍
You bet, Tariq! And thanks for watching as always!
Does leaving this plugged in drain your battery? My light stays on when my car is off.
My light stayed on as well. I never experienced any battery drain problems.
@@AutoDetour awesome! Thanks for the reply!

Does this work for any car with a factory 30 pin
Yes it ahould
Hmm interesting I don’t have suck cable in my glove box . Is it because my Audi A6 2006 is to old ?
Controls of the car still can be used? I mean like steering controls
rodrigo gomez Yes. The steering wheel controls still work.
Auto Detour for skiping songs Or just volume?

Just tested for Audi a4 2013 and didn’t work. Screen is just stuck on Audi initialising device, please wait…
We're do you get this from UK or USa?
How do the car controls work. Do they work
Please write the part number of AMI cable in the glove box. Thank you Ryan
Hey Dinko, you need a cable that looks like the following:

Hi I’ve been having trouble with the music playing in my Audi. I connect to carpro and when I play the music it says it’s playing and connected but I can’t hear it from my car
i’m having the same problem in my car right now as well. it’s possible the new ios updates have outdated the carpro device
Hi I have an Audi A6 2006 and I can't see 30 pin connection. Can anyone help?
I have a bluetooth receiver 30 pin. My question is what is the name of wire to connect the bluetooth receiver 30 pin😍 so that i can use to my car
How is sound quality?
Have you tried to use the car controls for pause, skip or etc?
I haven't tried yet. I'll have to do an update when I get a chance to use it a little more. Thanks for watching!
I see a lot of cheap Bluetooth adapters, will a €20 Bluetooth adapter work?
Did it work?
Sergio :v no :(
Fancy!
LOL
Does anyone know if it is possible to control the music through the MMI interface buttons? Thanks!
Yes. You can control any music that is stored on your phone using the buttons, but you can't control third party apps like Pandora, Spotify, etc. Hope that helps!
So if you're playing music and you get a phone call does the music keep playing?
That's a good question. I haven't had that happen yet, but I will have to test it out.
Thanks Ryan but unfortunately mine has only USB and CD changer in the glovebox :(
Bummer. Can you play music through the usb?
Auto Detour Yes I can..
Do you have any idea how to connect the Bluetooth adapter?
Dinko Popov i feel your pain! Mine came with Denison DW500 with 30 pin connection installed by the previous owner. Crazy thing is it won’t let me play music through the adopter
You can pause the music just press the mute button on the head unit and the phone is paused not mute.
I dont have any plugs or pins in my 2008 audi a4 quattro in the glovebox wtf
Me neither, did you figured it out ?
@@TheApskee nah i gave up haha
@@DJM3KS so you use the SD card or cd right ?😂😂
@@TheApskee yep haha. Havent been driving much in lockdown anyways so all good
How do you like the Quattro thinking of getting 1, any constant problems ?
Works to connect android?
Will it work for 10 A5
Can TH-cam music be played on the Bluetooth device?
yes
It's so expensive though I mean 70 bucks!?!?
I found one for $20 on amazon. Looking to get a Bluetooth for cheap because it keeps shutting off. Have you found one that works?
Please tell us more. Can I control the buttons on the steering wheel? switch tracks with car buttons. shoot another video clip.
My Bovee is great too
I looked at those too. They are basically the same. This one just happened to be a little cheaper at the time. Thanks for watching!

Hell yeah blink-182
Will this work on my a3 2012???
If you have the old 30 pin Ipod connection on your MMI cable, then yes.
Does anyone know if this works in a 2007 A4 B7?
Nope
Will it work for audi tt quattro 2007?
As long as it has the AMI cable with the old 30 pin iPod connecrion, then yes.
