Looking to buy an A3.

[Audi93]

Hello

Would anybody be able to tell me whether Audi A3's have the capability of streaming music and making/receiving phone calls wirelessly via bluetooth on all models 2012 onwards?

Do they all come with that capability or are some without it? What would I need to look for to know whether it comes with it as a lot of the dealers are telling me they aren't sure.

Thanks

8p or 8v as 8p did not have default BT streaming

Sorry what does that mean? Will this show on car ads/will the seller know the difference?

If you look in the 'Contents' bit of this, it will show that the 8L ('96-'03), 8P ('03 - '12) and 8V ('12+) are the different generations of A3. If you look at pictures of each you'll be able to tell by the body shape/features

Apologies, I was supposed to post another link, that's what the 'contents' bit refers to...
Here it is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_A3

Thanks for the link.

I just meant I needed clarity as NSN said 8p twice and I was a bit confused as to what he was trying to say.

Basically, is this correct?:

8L = No Bluetooth
8P = Only phone call bluetooth
8V = Phone calls/audio streaming from iPhone Bluetooth

?

He was saying (I believe)

Did you mean 8p or 8v, as the 8p model did not have default BT streaming as standard

Either way, yes the 8V comes with audio and phone call BT as standard

Thanks mate. So I can stream music off my iPhone via Bluetooth with no issues as long as it is the 8V model?
