gtiller Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 I went over to craigyb's yesterday, and he upgraded my Phone Kit to the latest Remote SIM Access Profile system. Couple of points: craigyb - top bloke! * great job * quick * efficient * pain free rSAP Bluetooth * this is what we have been waiting for; benefits of bluetooth wireless without the drawbacks of poor signal quality or poor sound quality * when initiated, the mobile phone basically hands over the SIM card to the car, and the car becomes the phone, using the antenna on the roof, the microphone and the MMI controls * it reads in the phonebook too, even if there are several numbers against the same name (ie office, mobile and home numbers for the same person) * because the car is making and receiving the calls, the battery on the mobile phone doesn't get sapped quite as quickly The system isn't cheap, but for anyone that spends a lot of time in their car on the phone, it is well worth the investment. Thanks again Craig for doing a top job! www.tclsatnav.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNVS Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Is the easy way now to fit the kit from Audi? I for one would like the rSAP facility in my car. Below is a copy from the accessories cat. Bluetooth Remote SIM Access Profile (rSAP) cradle adaptor The Bluetooth Remote SIM Access Profile (rSAP) cradle adaptor is an enhancement of the factory fitted option "Mobile phone preparation - Low". It enables mobile phone handsets to connect via Bluetooth Remote SIM Access Profile (rSAP) in the same way as handsets connect to the factory fitted option "Mobile phone preparation - High". The Bluetooth rSAP adaptor is fitted to the same connection as all other adaptor cradles (either on the dashboard or in the front centre armrest). The mobile handset is then connected to the rSAP cradle via Bluetooth. When handsets are connected, the cradle enables the use of the external GSM car antenna and deactivates the handset antenna in order to minimise GSM radiation in the car and handset battery consumption. The handset is put into standby mode so battery power drain is minimal. Once connected, the cradle connects to the handset automatically and details of up to four handsets can be saved. Only handsets with Bluetooth rSAP functionality are compatible with this cradle. Details of mobile handsets that are compatible with rSAP can be found on Audi Desktop. Customer Benefits - The rSAP cradle adaptor is flexible so can be used with a variety of different handsets. This makes it future proof for compatibility with new handsets - “Mobile phone preparation – Low” already has a Bluetooth connection but this only operates in a mode called “Hands Free Profile”. This means that although calls can be made and received using the car, the phones antenna and battery are operating at full capacity when making and receiving calls. The rSAP cradle adaptor uses the cars external antenna and power supply to make and receive calls which improves call quality and reduces handset battery consumption. £300.00 including VAT and fitting. Does any one have the part number for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
