Car, Bluetooth and BlackBerry

One and a half year ago I got myself a Audi Q7, actually one of the first around in our country. It is a nice car (if you like the size of it) and the MMI is very intuitive. It had TV, DVD and a very good navigation system build in. What I liked a lot was that I could get my BlackBerry Curve 8310 working within minutes over bluetooth.

Five months ago, I switched to the latest VW Touareg 2 model and since then never looked back. The Touareg is a much nicer car, drives smoother and overall just more my type of car. If you are in business for getting one then I suggest you add the air and sport suspension to it. Anyhow, the Touareg 2 also comes with the latest Muldimedia System RNS510.

But the biggest drawback I have with the Touareg 2 is that I can not get my BlackBerry 8310 connected over Bluetooth. So far, I have tried about everything there is, but still no go. The RNS510 is a much newer system then the one I had in the Audi Q7 and thus it is even more confusing that the BlackBerry does not work. In the meantime, I also upgraded the BlackBerry to OS 4.5, but the Touareg still does not see the device.

Anybody has any ideas what else there is to try?
