The sooner you do it the sooner you'll get the benefit. Costs very little as well.

I dragged my feet for ages just because I dreaded fiddling around with car electricals and drilling holes in the glove box. I took the sensible route and paid a professional to do that bit.

Getting someone who knows what they are doing gets my vote every time :beerchug: I also want to get a cradle sorted for the iPhone also as it bugs me that a) my phone doesn't charge in the car and b) the phone isn't using the cars built in antena for a stronger signal. In my B7 I hardly ever dropped a call due to poor signal but I do in the C6 and that also bugs me.

Great mod though and good to know there is a solution to this even though those clever chaps at Audi can't seem to work it out!

For iPhone users: if your BT stereo receiver of choice doesn't auto connect, get a homescreen shortcut to the Bluetooth settings page by jailbreaking. Not scary at all. Install an app from the Cydia Store called Homescreen Settings and job's a goodun. If you have no idea how to jailbreak, google 'lifehacker.com jailbreak' and read their Always Up To Date Guide.

No more Settings>General>Bluetooth for me.

It's the little things.

Thanks. I can't do a step-by-step how to as I didn't do all of it myself (paid a pro for the hard bit), but I'll pull all the bits together into a topic in electricals next chance I get.
