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

When a call comes in I answer and talk like always. It's cool that it works the same.

I have the Tune2air, MB Bluetooth and Plantronics earpiece all connected at the same time. They all seem to play together well. If I am listening to music (streaming Bluetooth audio or the stereo, sat or CD) and the phone rings, the system auto-mutes the music if I touch the earpiece (Plantronics) or steering wheel phone icon or even pick up the iPhone and press 'Answer'. I believe that the instruction manual said the Mercedes can recognize up to 4 Bluetooth devices. Amazing how that works!

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

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.

No, it will automatically switch between the two. Your phone will be actively connected to the Tune2Air, as well as your MMI. When a call comes in, your music will stop and the MMI will operate normally for a voice call. I have a 2013 A4 with MMI.

As far as the cable, I believe it will work in any Audi with the MMI. A colleague has the 2014 S4 and it works fine in there. With regards to using your car control system, I think so but I can't be certain. I think that would depend mostly on your phone. It might also depend on whether you have the advanced electronics package. Although in my car the cable sits in the glove box. I wouldn't want to put my phone in there as it wouldn't be very convenient. (And I'd leave the thing in there, miss a few calls from the girl, she'd jump to some wild conclusions, I'd get in trouble and in the end I'd still have no idea where my phone was.)

I have an Audi w MMI my self, and I have not been able to link up to it. That would be nice though.

I bought this for my volkswagen gti and the car would not recognize my phone or any other mp3 player that was not specifically an ipod. In other words this cable was useless because the car wouldnt recognize it thay way. Not sure if its the same with the audi but if I had to guess id say its similar

I've been using it for a few months now, and I have not noticed any affect on the functionality of the phone. I use it to play music over my Bluetooth so I was worried it would mess with the signal, but it hasn't. I use it with the iPhone 5 as a FYI.

I suppose so... VW and Audi are the same automaker. I never got it to work for my iPhone 5, but later found there's a lightening adapter available. I think it will work with a USB port that you've loaded a directory of folders on, but never tried that either. I primarily use the Bluetooth connectivity on my 2014 VW Jetta.

I also purchased one of these not too long ago. And I also had the exact same issues you are having. The only way I could get it to work is to turn off the car. Forget the device from my Bluetooth trusted devices in my phone. Then start car back up and re-pair tunelink with phone. ...I will say, I do recommend you return your Tunelink or have them send you another one because you will continue to have this issue.

I have a 2013 Audi and it works perfectly. I believe the mmi system and connections are the same.

Hi John, I do not care for this device. It does act weird. I think you are to hold the on/off button down a few seconds. My Bluetooth part of the radio never worked. I actually don't even use this device.

It didn't work with my droid and 2009 Audi a4... Only thing my cable works with is a flash drive. My recommendation is to buy a different brand.

Yes, it will work along side your car's built-in Bluetooth. The way that I found that will allow both to work 100% of the time is to first turn on the car (so that it's Bluetooth is in the seek mode), then immediately turns on your phone's Bluetooth. Wait a few seconds or until the connection is made (which shows up on my car's display), then turn on the Mpow Bluetooth. It will then connect to your phone also. You can verify that by going to your phone's Bluetooth setting. Both should show as "connected." Then you can listen to music/podcasts, but when a call comes in, it will automatically switches to the car's Bluetooth to handle the call, while pausing your music playback. When the call is over, it will automatically switch back to your music/podcast. I have a Toyota and an HTC One phone. Your mileage may vary.

I am not certain I understand your question. Basically when you turn the unit on, it should sync with the Bluetooth on your phone or device. if a call comes in and you are playing something, the phone call is taken and turns off the music etc. note that the unit does not have a microphone, so the phone mic will pick up the voice. I usually switch to the phone speaker instead, so I can be heard, instead of it playing thru the speakers of the vehicle. hope this helps.

Hi Priscilla, I havent´tested it.... I read some place that it gives some issues, but since I use Android, cant tell for sure... I do not use the phone for streaming music to the car radio, I just use them with bluetooth for calling and receiving calls... If you ask me, it is one of the best options for 1 din radios........... If you have 2 din, then you should consider for example 2 din radios, for example i have a pionner..and it has apps for iphone

Since the MMI programming is different for each car there is no way to know except through Audi. On my 2013 A4 the MMI could see the hard drive on the phone, I never checked if it charged via the cord

It didnt work on my infiniti m35x. It also didnt work at all on a bose 30 pin home dock. I dont know if it was just broken or just a pos. My phone recognized it but nothing played. So ill try another cheap option. I wouldn't buy it again obviously.

It worked in my 2011 A5 Quattro with the MMI audio and navigation system. I just replaced the cable and was able to play music, Pandora and Rhapsody from my phone.

The Audi/VW/most factory iPod systems try to index the device, which is why it won't work. Can't index all music on device over Bluetooth connection
