Hello. I have a B7 RS4 with Bose Symphony system. Is there a way to (i) get it to pair with a modern phone to use the system handsfree? (ii) source music from an iPhone or digital device?

Many thanks in advance. S

(i) Retrofit the OEM Handsfree kit which uses Bluetooth - this is how I connect my iPhone6+
(ii) (a) OEM method - replace the RNS-E with a 2010+ model and replace the CD changer with an AMI fitted with a Tune2Air Bluetooth adapter
(ii) (b) Non-OEM method - fit one of the aftermarket Bluetooth Aux In adapters.

Thanks for your reply. I don't have the RNS-E - I have 6CD Bose Symphony CD head. Does anyone have a solution for my original questions please?

My answers (i) - if you have an MFSW - and (ii)(b) still apply to a Symphony II as fitted to a B7.

Thanks - have you used a particular supplier and fitter? I've looked at the head unit and it doesn't look easy to remove without damaging the console

There are 4 keys that slot in to remove (picture shows RNSE but same slots are on yours):

Thanks, appreciate the tips as I learn about this car

Try and get the keys with plastic coating on the rings where you hold them - unless you like the sight of your own blood
