on an audi 2010 A5 w/MMI, what happens when you are using this device &amp; the phone rings? does this device render the cars blue tooth useless?

Nope, it connects to both. If a call comes in, it will automatically connect with the cars bluetooth phone. Not tune2air

I have a Nexus 5 and a Nissan Rogue with Bluetooth for phone calls only. I purchased this device and can confirm that this device will connect to your phone along with your car Bluetooth for phone calls. It worked flawlessly and also auto connects when i turn my car on. You might want to make sure your phones bluetooth is compatible because im not sure if all phone can connect to multiple devices at one time. Mine does and i love this thing. During phone calls it paused the music and after the phone call was over it started the music from where it left off.

Me, too 1005HA, but mine last almost two years before the earphone jack gave out. Now all I hear with earphones is the secondary track . . .music, soundeffects, harmonies. BUT NO DIALOGUE. Ugh. Going to check out the sound card idea. Before the warranty ran out I called the service and they told me to reinstall the system. What? Then the warranty ended. So now, onto sound car shopping. This thing is worth $175 now according Amazon and I neeeeeeed this netbook to get lots of stuff done this fall!

Yes, this seems to be a common problem across all BMW radios. I use mine on my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active. The Bluetooth drops, and comes back on every 10-15 minutes or so. Can get quite annoying. The only way out is to rip out the factory radio and put in an aftermarket unit with a dash kit. I ruins the aesthetics of the dash. But you do gain all the new technological features (HD/Sat radio, Pandora, BT streaming...etc).

I have had a couple of issues with it, but it seems to work most the time. When you select the input through the stereo (provided you have paired your phone to the stereo and have the devices connected at the time), it will launch Pandora on the phone to play through your car stereo. You can thumbs up/down songs from the headunit and skip ahead. Occasionally, when i launch Pandora, it wont open, but i think thats more of an issue with the bluetooth being kind of flaky on my HTC One (my wife has a nexus 4, never had a glitch with the bluetooth on that).

I don't think these guys understood your question. I was wondering too about this as my car has bluetooth built in for calls, but no a2dp technology for the audio. I searched thru the reviews and I guess it does work with your factory builit-in bluetooth. See copy and paste below. "Works in conjunction with the bluetooth phone headset built into my car, so able to pair audio output & phone interface once I turn on BT on my phone. I rarely have to click the single button on the clip to get it paired."

Not necessarily. When calls come in on my 2011 S5 it stops the music, but the call comes in on the phone, not the car speakers. if you switch it to speakerphone it automatically switches back to regular phone. It's really annoying so I just turn off bluetooth at that point and use the speakerphone. It also periodically drops the bluetooth for 10-15 seconds maybe once every 15-20 minutes.

Yep, music fades out as a new call comes in through the car's audio system. Your phone's mic is used for your voice and the car's speakers dish out the other end. My car was pretty loud, so it was sometimes hard to hear the person on the other line and I could never hear the ringtone, but heard the vibration and the music fade out.It works well.

I'm still trying to figure it out, but after much button pushing on the radio, it plays Pandora from iPhone on car speakers. I dialed a friend while sinked up to radio, but was not able to make voice call through car speaker. Maybe just haven't figured it out yet.

I'd like to add one further data point to the Audi issue. On my 2010 A4 (B8) with MMI cable, it does work, although the connection is not that stable, and it frequently needs to be "re-paired."

I have two of these units and Zero issues with either. I have one that is used in my car so that I don't have to connect a headphone cable to my smartphone to play music thru the car radio. It automatically connects each time as it should. The other unit I use in my home to play music from my phone thru home stereo. I manually create the Bluetooth connection to this unit since I have another Bluetooth receiver nearby. As to the volume being low.. I suspect that issue may be related to the bluetooth device you are connecting with. With my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 volume seems to remain where I had last left it..

I would caution you on this product. It only worked in my A6 for 2 months and then it turned intermittent. Go to Audi and use theirs to test your requirement

I just bought this and tried it on my 2008 Audi A4 with Symphony II+ radio with OEM 30pin iPod connection, and it does not work. It is powered and pairs with my phone, but the radio does not recognize it when music is playing from my phone. Note that this is radio is before the new Audi MMI interfaces came out.

it's a bluetooth device. you'll have to pair it with your phone. once you do that, you can make calls, listen to your phone's music system. etc. basically, if you can hear it with your phone, you'll hear it through the roadster. not stellar high quality, but better than nothing

Yea, if you are playing music it will cut off and play your ringtone. You just press the main button on the bluetooth and it'll do the rest, just speak loud and clear and you will hear them through your car speakers

Do you have the same sort of plug in your glove compartment as this one with an iPod male plug? If yes, I have the same setup in my 2008 Audi A6 and it works well for me to connect to my Android via the headphone jack. Hope this helps.
