Help!

My father has a new RS4 Avant and had successfully linked his Samsung mobile into the Sat-Nav/MMI system via Bluetooth. However he just got a new mobile, also a Samsung, which is refusing point-blank to "find" the car by bluetooth link. My Motorola V3i is also refusing to "find" the car. However, if we stick a simcard back in Dad's old handset, the car and phone happily link up.

This is weird and very annoying. We've read the handbooks of both the car and the phones until we're blue in the face and cannot make either Dad's new phone or mine link up with the car - even though the two phones will find one-another happily enough!

Does anyone know why this might be and how to fix it?

Cheers!

delete the old fone first and "restore factory settings" BT on audis can be a bit flakey

Cheers for the tips. We left it ovenight and tried again on Sunday morning and suddenly it all worked just fine and has been faultless ever since.

Weird but good to have it solved.
