    I have a factory bloetooth setup from Audi & tbh, I wouldnt rate it as being any better than the typical nokia carkit. I would be just as happy with a completely invisible nokia kit which will allow voice dialing if you have the right phone. Of course I have the display and it shows up the incoming call etc but some functionality is lost depending on phone type used.

    Getting the Audi OEM bluetooth kit installed will be complicated and very expensive in coparison to the after market kits. You're better off going for a Parrot or Nokia kit and save yourself money and hassle.

    +1 as above,

    also stay away from Halfords. Get a professional to fit yor car kit. He/she will also advise on the best solution for the car.
    If I am not mistaken there is an amp in th eboot of your car and you have to get a special lead for this. Its not going to be cheap either (€70 for the lead alone).
    Do a search on Parrot or audi kits. I think there was a thread with PaintDoctors car and all the pit falls reciently enough.
