Airdual-300A

I have a 2011 Audi A5 Coupe and this works perfectly with the Audi Media Integration unit in the glove box. It connects automatically when the car is turned on and steering wheel controls work. Brilliant piece of kit for an older car.

Easy to set up, works well with decent sound quality. it’s a bit pricey but I’d rather have something that’s reliable than the minefield of alternatives that had extremely mixed reviews. Dont forget to disconnect ur phone from the car first or it’ll just keep pairing to that. I have an Audi A5 (2010) and removed my phone from the car menu first so it wasn’t trying to pair to it. It automatically pairs every time you get back in the car which is a touch.

...and, if I'm honest, having read some of these reviews, I didn't expect it to. I have a 2011 Audi A8, so its the D4 model. I'm using an iPhone 12 running iOS 14. After pairing to the car it connects every time the car is electrically powered and appears in the source list as iPhone. Apple music is the only menu system that loads but that is a huge improvement on the previous situation. It took a while for the menus and play lists to populate. In fact I'd taken out the car handbook to see if I was missing something and when I looked up again a few minutes later it was all there. It's controllable from the steering wheel and the songs appear between the dials if selected. The mute button on the wheel actually pauses the song or story. It will play Audible too but only if initiated from the iPhone. After that limited control, such as pause, is available from the car. The only slight glitch is, if you want to listen to music after hearing a book, the only way I've found to allow control from the car systems is to turn bluetooth off and then back on. It will still play without doing this if initiated and then controlled from the phone though. The sound quality is superb too. I only have the Bose system, not the B&O but it is crystal clear with a rich bass. I was going to get a system fitted (for lots more money) that would hijack the MMI and put Apple CarPlay on it instead but this level of functionality is enough for me. Maybe a future update could handle the phone too? I highly recommend this bluetooth dongle.

Excellent,works very well

The appearance is neat and build quality/finish seems good as one would expect with a product at this price. The set up instructions to pair the bluetooth to the car do not quite fit with the actual process - on my car anyway, but I figured it out and got it working. It is not perfect - the sound must be turned up on the phone to get sufficient signal through to the car audio, and then the car volume controls can be used to raise and lower the volume. You can switch between tracks (previous/next) using the car controls but on Spotify at least, you cannot change between playlists. Only a limited amount of text for each track is displayed - just the first part of the track title. However, I can now play my downloaded Spotify playlists in my car, but quite expensive for this one simple task. The plug to connect to connect the Audi MMI can be difficult to unplug but that is more of an issue with the design of the connection than this product.

VW Touran 2011 with RCD510 Took about 30 minutes off connecting, disconnecting, powering off the phone, forgetting the Bluetooth connection and unplugging the unit from the car to get this to connect to my phone. When it did connect, the audio quality was perfect but the steering wheel controls to skip tracks only worked a few times and then stopped and then the phone wouldn't play music at all. For the amount of money for this Bluetooth adapter it needs to be perfect. But in this case it barely worked at all.

How can you not have Bluetooth in a car in this day and age? Well, this solves that! My Audi A4 Avant 2011 B8 has the Audi Concert - MMI 2G low I believe and when I picked up the car, I was a little surprised that it doesn't have Bluetooth to play music too. This device is plug-and-play and works perfectly. Easy to pair, offers great audio I feel and you can't go wrong. The only thing is that it is a little pricey, however without the need to power it via USB I feel this works a treat. Highly recommend. All steering controls and buttons work as they should. Its like the car essentially comes with Bluetooth now. Sits in the glovebox and is never seen, fit once and be done.

I saw a mixture of reviews on this, mostly for Audi cars and thought I would convey my experience. Firstly my set-up: I have an iPhone XS running iOS 12.2 and recently purchased a 2010 Mercedes C Class (W204) that has the Audio 50 APS entertainment system and a Mercedes Media Interface (MMI) in the glove-box. I was looking for options to give me the ability to stream audio via bluetooth, ideally with some form of control of my phone with the steering wheel controls. I knew the easiest/cheapest option was a bluetooth receiver plugged into the aux cable, but this would definitely not provide the option of steering wheel control (beyond car volume and mute) and after some digging I found a bunch of products designed to either plug directly into the MMI socket or into the iPod 30 pin MMI interface cable. After reading several descriptions and reviews I thought I would give the Airdual 300A a try. First impressions when it arrived was that it was pretty compact. I slightly struggled to fit it in the MMI socket because the cable left the plug at a right angle and was very close to the side of the glove-box, but it did fit and one upside is that the dongle naturally sits close to one side. I switched on the ignition and the car automatically switched to the Media Interface; I was then able to pair the phone and started playing music. The one oddity was that the car display shows generic names instead of actual song titles, but after reading the instructions (!!) I noticed the section regarding minimal/advanced modes (set by a red toggle button on the dongle). After switching the dongle over to advanced mode I was then able to browse my phone music collection as well as navigate podcasts. In addition, mute on the steering wheel pauses playback on the phone and I can also navigate to the audio menu and jump tracks forward or backwards! Spotify playback is a little less slick - it works but you need to initiate playback from the phone. The Mercedes display shows track names from the last played playlist on the Apple Music app, which is a bit clunky, but skip forwards/backwards still works fine. Likewise, the steering wheel controls also allow you to jump tracks and mute still functions as pause. The instructions suggest switching to minimal mode if you are using Spotify; however in my case I use both the Music app alongside Spotify and Audible, hence I will leave it in advanced mode and accept the issue with track names on the last two not displaying correctly. So overall very pleased with the solution. It is definitely not the cheapest option, and I could have easily saved over half the price by going for a simple bluetooth receiver, but to be able to navigate the on-phone music as well as skip tracks via the steering wheel is well worth the extra money. The end result is my 9 year old entertainment system is at least as well integrated with my phone via bluetooth as many much newer cars!

Il prezzo non è bassissimo ma devo dire che il risultato è veramente buono. Si connette semplicemente e consente di associare qualsiasi sorgente audio esterna. Funzionano benissimo i comandi dell'auto sia per volume che per ricerca avanti e indietro. L'audio e veramente ottimo. Lo tengo sempre collegato dentro al vano porta oggetti e dopo qualche mese di utilizzo posso dire che funziona benissimo e si è sempre connesso all'avvio dell'auto senza problemi.

​Ich war anfangs wirklich skeptisch, da man im Netz wenig Konkretes findet, ob dieser Adapter wirklich sauber mit dem Mercedes-System funktioniert. Aber ich wurde absolut positiv überrascht! ​Mein Setup: Mercedes Viano (W639) mit dem Radio Audio 20 und dem Ausstattungscode EH0 (Media Interface im Handschuhfach). ​Einbau & Funktion: Einfacher geht es nicht: Eingesteckt, Handy per Bluetooth verbunden und es hat sofort funktioniert. Das Radio erkennt den Adapter sofort als iPod. Das Beste daran ist die Zuverlässigkeit: Sobald ich die Zündung einschalte, verbindet er sich und Spotify spielt direkt da weiter, wo es aufgehört hat. ​Bedienung & Qualität: ​Lenkrad/Radio: Ich kann Titel bequem über das Multifunktionslenkrad oder die Tasten am Radio weiterschalten. ​Titelanzeige: Ja, die Anzeige ist nicht 100% perfekt, aber das liegt am alten Audio 20 Radio, das die Metadaten von Spotify wohl nicht ganz sauber verarbeiten kann. Für mich ist das "Meckern auf hohem Niveau". ​Klang: Die Wiedergabequalität ist hervorragend und glasklar. ​Fazit: Der Preis hat mich erst abgeschreckt, aber nach meinen Erfahrungen mit einem 15€-Teil (das nur funktionierte, wenn der Mond im richtigen Winkel stand...), ist dieser Adapter jeden Cent wert. Er hat mir den teuren Umbau auf ein anderes Radio erspart.

Funciona perfecto

It's working for my 2010 Q7 which has MMI 3G High. Plug and play, also no issues to connect with the newest iPhone. The track info appears also on the car MMI and you can control track list on your MMI (steering wheel included).
