Yes you need a vcds cable to get to the hidden menu. I don't know about activating Bluetooth through that, but here is what I use.

Take a look at XCarLink. People on Audizine have used it.

You can easily get bluetooth streaming with your factory head unit using a CoolStream or Tune2Air 1000 (if you have the factory iPod cable) or Tune2Air 3000 (if you don't).

I would actually recommend this one

I’ve got this Bluetooth adapter in my 2011 Q5! I love it! It allows the MMI to still control the music and works seamlessly!

Get a Tune2Air. Will allow 2 connections to phone, one for calling and one for music. I have it and it works great.

As to why it allows one but not the other, there are different protocols for calling and streaming with bluetooth - unfortunately your Audi only came with the options for the calling protocol.

This has worked great in my 09 A4

I use an adapter called Tune2Air and it plugs right in to the AMI. It works great for me with both android and iPhone (with wifi off). The track info shows on the dash and skip buttons work even with Google Play Music on my iPhone. It works more reliably than a Lightning cable, and the occasional hiccup can be solved by reconnecting.

I got it in amazon, it was under $65.

I can pretty much guarantee that a normal USB dongle wouldn't work at all.

I bought one of these and it's been working well:

The only problem is it's an either-or situation, you can't answer phone calls on the MMI bluetooth if you're currently using the adapter.

You’ll need to buy an adapter for the MMI system- if you look in your glove box, you can find the connector input to hook it up. Inconvenient but it works.

To stream music with your iPhone, this will do the trick...

As for phone calls, it should support that by default.

It's been great so far except it's a 2009 and I can connect my phone for bluetooth calling but not for bluetooth music and I bought this ami cable with an aux cord and it didn't work. thinking about getting this but It's so expensive.

you need this
Instant plug in Bluetooth streaming audio

Also this one (on sale)

Yea you can skip songs, play/pause, and control volume from steering wheel and dash buttons.

If you already have the media cable then this (or something like it) is what you need

If you don’t have the media cable, something like this will probably be better since the cable is like $150 from the dealership (if I remember correctly)

Before you buy anything make sure you have the media port. Mine was located in the glove compartment on the left side.

This is all you need!

in its place?

This one works fantastic :

2012 models dont support music Bluetooth streaming. That was introduced in 2013 models. I have a 2012 Audi S4 myself.

I bought an AMI to lightening port adapter. It's quite expensive around $120 and I have an ipod nano. I keep the ipod in the glovebox and can control everything through the MMI or from my center dashboard. Sort through playlists, artists, songs, album, etc..

Another option is this https://www.amazon.ca/ViseeO-Tune2Air-WMA3000A-Bluetooth-Adapter/dp/B00R2HZ1XU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1494965143&sr=8-1&keywords=audi+bluetooth+adapter

You can buy this and it allows you to use spotify and if Im correct, change the song from your MMI but I could be wrong. I would do a bit of research on this bluetooth dongle to confirm all the functions available but I know a lot of people bought this and they say it works well.

If you're sure that the 30-pin adapter is working properly, try this one rather than plugging your phone to the insanely short cable in the glove box.

It looks like a good solution to me.

As it is, it won't be able to play music over Bluetooth, all it supports is conversations over phone. The only way I was able to stream music over Bluetooth was with an aftermarket device plugged into the media socket.

You can find one here https://www.amazon.ca/ViseeO-Tune2Air-WMA3000A-Bluetooth-Adapter/dp/B00R2HZ1XU

Even then, it's unreliable. Sound cuts out and it's completely impossible to select songs through your MMI controls.

This is the one I got on my '12 TTS
