Title: I need bluetooth
Post by: watercool on 11 August 2020, 15:39

Hi all, gonna keep this to the point,

I have this headunit.... what's it called?

I have this module.. which takes over my phone if I let it  :sick:

I want a headunit that lets me connect via bluetooth so I can make phone calls and listen to music etc and I want to be able to use my steering wheel controls.

What do I need to buy to make this happen?

You have an RCD510

To make your bluetooth work, you need something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/183715395714?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=183715395714&targetid=909953938039&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9045415&poi=&campaignid=10199634949&mkgroupid=101938390717&rlsatarget=pla-909953938039&abcId=1145987&merchantid=138814774&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIn_3hw5Ca6wIV6YBQBh1UrgnGEAQYAiABEgIqJ_D_BwE

You'll then need VCDS to tell the car it has bluetooth fitted.

This might help too http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=151928.0

Sorry lost where I posted!

Thanks very much for the info. I thought the car had a bluetooth mic already installed? Because if I use the current system (where it takes over my phone sim) I'm sure the bluetooth works?

Maybe I should get a second phone/sim just to exclusively use in the car? might be less faffing?
