not need hardware?
No. Everything should be in the car. MMI 3G unit itself is equipped with bluetooth receiver, the microphone is also in the car for the GALA (noise volume adjustment).
Hello there’s no diag section on my green menu. Can you help me pls?
Are you sure you have MMI 3G, not 2G or 3G+? What car and year?
Yeah sorry mine is 3G+ ( 2011 Audi A1 ). There’s no way to enable bluetooth right? :/
We don’t have any experience with 3G+ system yet. Sorry.
what cable do you need to connect with your pc ??
Any diagnostic interface that can cooperate with VAG cars. Look for VCDS or VAS.
Hi. I have an issue with my Bluetooth. It used to work but it just stopped working some time ago. I cannot connect the phone (any type of phone) to the car anymore. My firmware is quite old, BBT_EU_P0020_D1 and I read that there is a problem with this firmware, someone wrote in a forum that it should be updated using the firmware P0020_ADJBK_FIX. I couldn’t find this version anywhere. Do you have it? Thanks.
Sorry, no information about that fix. But start with checking fuses. Sometimes just phone module is not powered so it does not work.
Hi I have a audi a6 2010 I have the same problem with my Bluetooth did you fix yours?
managed to solve? I have the same problem!
Hello,
this is valid for MMI 3G system or is valid for 3G MMI PLUS system, thanks
(Google Translation)
Hi, I have a 2009 Audi Q5 with MMI 3G. Is it possible that the bluetooth is already installed and only neads activation? I tried to access the hidden menu but it wasn’t possible. Is there any links for reliable VAG-Com cables?
Thank you
If you have MMI 3G, then you have bluetooth preinstalled. It’s that simple.
Hi, it seems that my 2009 Q5 has the MMI 3G Plus system. Should it have the bluetooth pre installed and just needs activation?
Yes. But i believe that 3G+ system is too fresh to be installed in 2009 car.
Hey, thanks for the article. Should this allow me to stream music using bluetooth, from my phone? If not, is that even possible? If yes, how? :) thanks! PS mmi 3g
No, this is only for phone calls (HFP), not music streaming (A2DP).
Thanks for the info. I can activate BT connection to my phone on my Q7 (2011MY).
However, seem the mic does not worked. People cannot hear what I said. Do I need to activate the mic as well?
I found 2 mic are in cabin light position.
Check if those pics are enabled in hidden green menu.
Hi

I have A6 Allroad 2009 facelift with MMI 3G basic and AMI. Bluetooth connection OK and can make calls, only people don’t hear me. Audi also have GALA and it is active. From hidden menu i can’t find any mics. Do i have to pay for new microphones, and if it so, what kind of mics?
Hello, I have same problem… Do you find any solution? Do you know where mic is located?
Thanks!

Hi
Done the green menu etc. But when you in phone menu it’s says do you wish to activate Bluetooth you choose yes and goes to Bluetooth menu. Which is greyed out and set to off with no way to turn on. Is there somewhere this needs turning on?
Hi, I have a 2007 Audi TT quattro and have the same issue. The bluetooth logo suddenly won’t display and the ‘bluetooth settings’ option is not highlighted. It’s bizarre because it used to work absolutely perfectly and has just stopped. Can anyone help? Much appreciated in advance.

Hi, I have an A5 2015 with MMI 3G. I am able to pair my telephone with MMI Bluetooth for making phone calls, but the music from my phone wouldn’t stream. I checked the source option in Media, but the Bluetooth option does not show up. Is there a way you can suggest to activate BT for music streaming as well? Many thanks.

Hi I followed all the steps and was able to make the Bluetooth option available. It tries to search for devices but fails and automatically enters the bluetooth settings menu, it is here where I run into issues as the options to turn the Bluetooth on and off are greyed out. Do I need a firmware upgrade?
Good evening
Please be so kind and let me know what kind of version of MMI i have.
On Setup version check , i found : BBT_EU_P0020_D1 and on Engineering i found :
Train version : P0020
MU Software : 0040
Await
Thank you
When I choose channel 17 and read, it shows error: channel 17 not available. Any idea about it?

Hi Mr Fix. I followed all your instruction until I entered Channel 17 and then read, it shows: error channel 17 not available. Do u know if it means that my Q7 2010 has no bluetooth function?
software version:
BBT_EU_P0020_D1
Mr Fix,
I finally managed to connect my phone to the car’s bluetooth. I can clearly hear what the others say by connecting to the bluetooth. However, the others just can’t hear any sound from my side. When I changed it back to the mobile phone speaker, the other side can hear. Should I assume my mic in the car is not working or there should be any setting that can activate my mic in car?
Sorry for too many questions. Many Thanks.
Telephone is not installed
I have the same issue Audi a4

Hello. I have A6 2011 Sedan with MMI3G Basic. I would like to add Btooth telephone calls and BTooth Music playback if possible.
You wrote on July 5, 2016 at 11:08 AM:

Now, does this hold true for MMI 3G Basic as well?
Also I could not figure out what AMI is.
Will buying this add the AMI functionality: https://www.carsystems.eu//audi-mmi-3g-ami-ipod-iphone-adapter-retrofit,id2744.html
I have a 2009 Audi A4 with a colored center display with DVD nav ( system in the trunk). MMI controls are in between center armrest and gear selector. Says “Audi CD changer” above the 6 cd disc changer on the center stash. Not sure if this is a 3G system. I know that right now my car does phone call capabilities and does connect with my phone, but I wasn’t sure if it was also capable of media streaming for Spotify and other media streaming services.
I have a 2009 Audi A4 will mine have the software already there? If I get the tool for the computer will it automatically come up or have I got to download a website to do the diagnostics part? Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the guide. I have a question:
I believe I have MMI 3g basic (not sure!) without NAV and I also have AMI in the glove compartment.
When I try to set up the BT handsfree it says “Telephone is not installed” and I can’t find it with my iPhone in the BT devices list.
Does this mean I have to activate it with coding/following the guide above?
the RMC_EU_P12321 and 3.32.3 Bluetooth version. What is the latest version? I’m from Brazil. My bluetooth has stopped recognizing devices. The audi q3 does not find the phone. The phone does not find the radio. Do you have any idea what the problem is? Get in touch at any time. Need help.
I have a 2016 Audi A1 and when I click on telephone it says “telephone is not installed” how do I fix this?
