Telephone button

RE: Telephone button
All '01 A6 are pre-wired for factory telephone. If you have it installed, there is a large handset inside your armrest. The telephone and R/T buttons control the factory telephone handsfree kit audio. If you dont have the factory telephone, the buttons are disabled.

RE: Telephone button
I wonder if anyone has experimented with using these Telephone and R/T buttons to control their own bluetooth handsfree set. The button just fits so nicely in the interior, it would be a shame to have another button from a third-party bluetooth phone somewhere on the dash...

RE: Telephone button
I have just purchased a 2001 A6 with the added buttons on the wheel for the phone as well. I also am interested in any information in getting a bluetooth phone to work with the installed system. If there are no available ways of doing that....... is there any aftermarket wiring kits made to allow existing main-stream "non-audi" phones to work with the installed system? Of course the bluetooth is the way to go, I also have a Chrysler product with bluetooth capability (what they call "U-Connect")- very useful.

RE: Telephone button
I already realized that the 2001 models were not bluetooth enabled. What I was looking for was an aftermarket adaption of bluetooth. That being a long stretch, a wire harness adaption for "Todays" phones into the Audi harness (I have a Motorola V600). Both of those options are probably a long stretch though.
Can you still get the Audi phone????
How do they perform????
If available (probably) and with acceptable performance (actually it would need to have exceptional performance to consider it over todays phones)
Is Audi's phone mobile if dis-connected, and is it even usable on existing networks (in my case Cingular)????
Thanks for the quick and knowledgable feedback from all, this forum appears to be a one stop for Audi owners!

RE: Telephone button
I realize this is an older thread, but it defines my question so well, I thought I would use it. Is anyone aware of an aftermarket wiring harness that has come out in the last couple of years that would allow us to plug a newer style, non-Audi phone in and use the hands free built into the car? I jhust picked up my 01 A6 2.7T last night and read about this feature in the owners manual. Sure would be nice to not add another buttom to an already busy dash. Thanks for the input.
