Hi guys, i have an audi 2007, with a concert radio. Recently had a roav viva for Xmas, but bluetooth won't link to the sound system. Any idea how i can get bluetooth in the radio. I've got no bluetooth, no aux and all I have in glove compartment is an old iPhone point. Can I connect that to something? Can that be changed to an aux somehow? Will the first transmitter work for me?? Why are audi radios so crap compared to others??
Thanks in advance

If your Audi is anything like mine any Bluetooth it does have will be only for phone calls. Without going into the myriad of expensive and complex ways to add proper Bluetooth to the car, the easiest way as detailed above is to buy an Bluetooth to FM transmitter. I don't think you'll easily be able to use the Roav Viva with that, but it will at least allow you to connect a device via Bluetooth and listen to some music by tuning in on the radio.
Firstly, in answer to your last question I have no idea. It really sucks that Audi were so far behind, and even offered the garbage Concert radios in their cars right up to the B8.5 facelift - so many used Black Editions out there with the poverty radio option, cheapskate original owners! And why on earth was this even an option, just like the horrible cloth seats - a crime which is still being committed.
Secondly, the other option which would mean you don't need to have a crummy FM transmitter is to install a Parrot kit or similar alternative. Even somewhere like Halfords can do that for you. Probably your least expensive decent quality option.

Great I'll look into that. Are there any other cheap radios that I could look for with all built in? Can anyone give me names? I've found this but don't really want to pay that much

Ah of course, if you have a B7 you can just replace the head unit, a no brainer. I couldn't comment on that one but tbh I would expect to pay at least that much.
just bought a device that plugs into your power socket and tunes into a free frequency on the FM channel of the radio,connect your device to it and everything then comes through the speakers,phone calls also,cost me £16.99 amazon and its called the Victsing T11 Bluetooth FM Transmitter,i must say i am quite impressed by it
I've got one of these also, agree completely it's brilliant

Hi guys, I've decided that I want a new stereo now. Could someone please let me know if it's compatible and if it will be easy to install? I've got the bog standard double dim concert radio at the moment. Sorry, I'm rubbish at cars.

on an audi a4 59 plate audi concert radio. how hard is it to retrofit AMI and how much does it cost?
also when i click “Tel” (telephone) it says no phone connected. i’m assuming this means it doesn’t have bluetooth for phone calls?

Its fairly straight forward to fit. The harness is around £45 from audi and comes with fitting instructions. The module itself depends on how much you can find one for on ebay. usually around £80. To do it properly you need to replace the glove box. I didnt bother with the glove box. I stripped the module out of the housing and bolted it on top of the glove box to save space.
