How to connect Bluetooth in an old Audi A5?
2 Answers
First, enable the Bluetooth function on both your mobile phone and the car's Bluetooth device. Then, set your phone's Bluetooth to "Visible to All" or to a mode where it can be detected. Search for Bluetooth devices on your phone and select the appropriate one to pair and connect. Enter the dedicated passcode to complete the connection. If the Bluetooth has been paired before, the system will automatically reconnect the Bluetooth when it is turned on again. Once the pairing is completed, the Bluetooth connection will be successfully established.
When driving my old Audi A5, the Bluetooth connection is super handy, especially for playing music or taking calls during long trips. Step one, after getting in the car, turn on the MMI system on the center console—usually there's a knob or screen in the center. Press the menu button to find the 'Phone' or 'Bluetooth' option. Make sure your phone's Bluetooth is on, then go to the vehicle settings to scan for devices. A PIN prompt will pop up during pairing, usually 1234 or 0000—just enter it and confirm. If pairing fails, don’t panic; older cars might have outdated software issues. Try restarting the infotainment system by holding the power button for a few seconds. Also, the older A5’s Bluetooth only supports basic calls and audio streaming, not advanced features like map sharing, so after connecting, test the audio quality for stability. When parking, simply disconnect, and it’ll automatically reconnect next time you start the car—saving time and effort. In short, just be a little patient!
