Hi guys just collected a 2010 candy white mk6gti and very happy :smiley:
The dealer said the car has bluetooth and I have the phone button on stereo but when I push it the stereo volume mutes only and I cant seenm to pair my smart phone. ?
Not sure if the unit is faulty or whether it has bluetooth or not
any advice much appreciated
-
Using the right hand buttons on the steering wheel, use the < > buttons to scroll through the various menus. If bluetooth is fitted, it should come up on there.
If it is fitted, you use the menu in the cars trip computer to search for the phone, not use the phone to search for the car.
-
There should also be a small box under the front of the drivers seat if factory bluetooth is installed.
If nothing is coming up after pressing phone you probably don't have it.
You can install Fiscon Bluetooth which works via the original RNS/RCD though.
-
Great thanks for the advice I will check it out
-
You definitely don't have Bluetooth :wink:
-
The problem with dealers is most don't know what cars have or haven't got, not like we do. He would have seen the phone button on the radio and steering wheel and assumed it had bluetooth, even tho' we know that the buttons are there regardless.
Another case of dealers lack of interest and product knowledge it seems.
-
It's easy to check if you have the bluetooth module in a polystyrene box (held in place with velcro) under the drivers seat.
My 59 plate car does, it even has the 'shark fin' on the roof but wont connect to my phone. Dealer said the module will only connect to a couple of now old phones and that a replacement module would cost £900. Not sure I believe them.
-
I have a Samsung S3 which has stopped pairing up to the car. Loads of stuff about people having problems with that phone on the internet forums so I assume it's a Samsung software issue.
Either way, it's a pain in the a*** as I've no hands free anymore. What's more annoying still is that it worked for 6 months then has only recently stopped. Really annoying.
Anyone else had an issue with the S3?
-
My iphone doesn't pair with the Fiscon so it's pretty useless to me..
May be a fiscon software update but don't have a bluetooth laptop to update it..

I fitted this kit in my Golf http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-BLUETOOTH-KIT-SEAT-SKODA-MFD3-RNS-510-RNS-310-RCD-510-RNS-315-5K0-035-730-D-/271286708809?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f29f2aa49 It works with everything except my old Blackberry. No problems with my current Galaxy Ace 2.
My Passat has factory BT, so I don't know what module that has, but again, no issues with any phone...so far.

Sorry to hi-jack this thread but would you say this could be fitted by a novice? Was thinking of just paying someone to do it... Cheers.

Easy peasy if you follow the how to guide in the Mk6 maintainance section. You will need some help with the coding if you don't have your own VCDS.
The reason behind using that kit is that it allows you to plug the mic wire into the loom to suit which ever radio you have.

I have Samsung s4 and now would like to know of a decent bluetooth that will definitely work with the car and oem buttons along with this phone ?

Cheers for the reply. I'll have a wee look at that guide you mentioned. Possibly give it a go but reckon my fat fingers will break something lol. I know for definite it's not the rns-510. My screens similar but with three buttons on either side. I take it vw can sort the coding out? Cheers. Gal
-
Yours is the RCD 510 then.
VW should be able to code the genuine unit, if not find someone with Vag Com.

Brilliant bud cheers. Was thinking about an rns-510 purely for the nav. Quick question if you don't mind. Would google maps on my iPhone work via the Bluetooth if that makes sense? I'll be purchasing the Bluetooth kit tomorrow and get it fitted to the car using the guide in the maintenance part. Cheers. Gal

How do you mean as in voice spoken through speakers?
Can't honestly say wether it would of not as not experienced it but would guess at no..

Not sure about Fiscon unit but with OEM Bluetooth, yes you can get google maps audio via Bluetooth (just tried it). Press the BT audio soft button first. If music starts to play then press pause button on the rcd510 and once you start google maps it should start the audio directions. Alternatively, use a free sat nav iphone app as voice directions come through via bluetooth fine. Same process.

That's great info, thank you for taking the time to try it. Looks like I'll be purchasing the oem Bluetooth kit off the bay. Cheers for the input Aaron mc and booth11. Cheers. Gal

Happy to help :smiley:
On iPod/ipad the google maps voice is truly awful though - a sort of weird synthesised affair. It's like a female doing an impression of Stephen Hawking. Weirdly on the iphone it's a gent with a very british accent!

hahaha couldn't have described them better myself :grin:

Just an update turns out the car does not have bluetooth and when i spoke to the VW dealer they said as i asked if it had it before purchase and they had mistakenly said yes they would fit it to my car free of charge.
Had vag-tec come to my work today and install full factory bluetooth which seems a very good system .
Very pleased with the outcome and great service from Caffyns in worthing :smiley:
-
Great result, and credit to the dealer.
-
Yep good outcome I had the same problem with my first mark 6 they also fitted Bluetooth to it if only they took notice of specs it would save them money
-
That's a great result. It's a wonder they didn't try to fob you off with the horrible Touch kit.
