Facelift Bluetooth issues

Hi, First post from a happy A6 owner here! Certainly a change from my VW T5.

My cars a Facelifted (2009) model with Bluetooth but I can't seem to pair my phone to it?
The phone is a Nokia 635 and it can find a 'headset' which I believe is the car? but it's 'unable to pair' when I select it.

If I go to 'Tel' and 'search for new phones' (or something like that) it asks to turn the bluetooth on (which you do obivously) but can't find the phone when it search's?

It does have a cradle in the armrest but as it's facelift I should be able to connect any phone? It's an SE and so comes with 'Mobile telephone preparation – Low with Bluetooth and voice control' I believe.

I'll scan it with VCDS at the weekend, if it is a hardware issue is the bluetooth module under the passenger seat of glovebox do we know?

I'm hoping it'll just need an update, i'll probably get the discs from Audi if they'll let me have them.

Cheers

if you go looking in below the carpet you'll not find it on a facelift as it's built into the 5f controller in the glovebox.

my old samsung was a pain to pair with the bluetooth controller in my dad's old a6.

Saves me whipping the seat out then which is good, I presume the module itself is similar to that under the seat? Apologise for my ignorance but what is the 5F controller? the main MMI 'headunit'?

I'm hoping it is just a glitch and a software update will solve it, but good to know just incase.

Interesting point b5nut, I thought my car is fitted with 2g (no satnav & no Joystick) and being a jan 09 model it may have got caught up in the cross over..... But....

A little research and it maybe fitted with 3g 'low', some early face lifted cars apparently came without Satnav but had SD card slots and a single CD drive which is what mine has....

I'll probably avoid updating it if that's the case.....
