How to Connect Bluetooth for Music Playback in Older Audi A6L Models?

Both the mobile phone's Bluetooth and the car's Bluetooth need to be turned on, and enable the second option for open detection. On the mobile phone's Bluetooth interface, click "Search for Devices." Select the car's Bluetooth displayed on the phone, then click on the car's Bluetooth > Bluetooth Settings > Pair. A dialog box will pop up asking for a pairing code. Enter the pairing code and click "Connect," while simultaneously clicking "Pair" on the car's Bluetooth interface to complete the pairing successfully.
As a long-time Audi owner, I've solved the Bluetooth connection issue myself. For older Audi A6L models like the 2008 version, the factory Bluetooth may only support calls but not direct music streaming. The solution is to purchase a Bluetooth audio adapter that plugs into the cigarette lighter or AUX port. These adapters are widely available online for just a few dozen yuan, and the pairing process is foolproof: after parking, turn on the adapter power and the car's media system, enable your phone's Bluetooth to search for a device name like 'Car BT', then tap to pair (you may need to enter a password like 0000 or 1234). Once connected, your phone's music will automatically stream through - the sound quality is slightly compromised but acceptable. I've used this method for five years, and whenever connection fails, simply restarting both the adapter and phone solves it. Keep the device near the center console to avoid interference. Safety reminder: Never handle your phone while driving to prevent distraction, and regularly clean contact points to prevent aging/disconnection.
