2 Answers
Audi A3's Bluetooth function can be accessed by selecting "External Devices" under "CD/Multimedia," where you will see the Bluetooth icon. It allows connection to external audio devices. Operation is performed via iDrive. Sound output is through the vehicle's speakers. Connection is also possible via the USB audio interface; the USB audio interface supports phones and USB devices. When using a USB connection in the Audi A3, use a soft adapter cable to protect the USB interface and USB devices from mechanical damage.
I find the Bluetooth setup in the Audi A3 quite straightforward. Having driven it for several years, my first step is always to start the vehicle, then focus on the central control screen. I press the phone icon or enter the settings menu, select the Bluetooth option, and toggle the switch to start scanning for devices. Next, I turn on Bluetooth on my phone and search for the car's name. If a password prompt appears during pairing, I simply enter it. I've encountered a few hiccups, like when my phone wasn't in discoverable mode or the car's system software was outdated, causing connection issues. So, I make it a habit to regularly check for MMI system updates. Operating it while parked is safer and more convenient, plus it allows me to enjoy music and navigation. Remember, don’t fiddle with Bluetooth while driving—it’s easy to get distracted and cause an accident. These tips have saved me a lot of trouble, so give them a try.
