From what I can gather Volkswagen are still in the dark ages.
Presently in my TTS I have GSM and an Iphone. Through the steering wheel and DIS i can make call's, look at contact list etc.
This basic function doesnt appear possible unless I buy a limited number of Nokia or Siemens phones. I really dont want a stupid Parrot screen in the car.
Anyone know if its possible to sort/ am i wrong?

I thought you could use any bluetooth enabled phone to be honest.... The only part that would be phone specific would be the cradle.

I hope so, i have ordered it for my new MKVI GTI. I don't need it to charge on the pod but i will not be a happy bunny if i have spent GBP380 for bluetooth to work through the steering wheel and audio system if it does not work for a Ssamsung (have a Tocco). I was only told you need Bluetooth.
Can anyone confirm this????
-
I dont think anyone on here has a MK6 yet.
Give the dealer a call and get them to confirm?
-
I think it might be the same issue that scirocco drivers are having. Like one poster said only a select few nokias an siemens will work
-
Noticed this in my travels

Cheers for that Kev, i just need the basic functions of answer/hang up from the steering wheel and for the audio to come through the speakers. Otherwise it would be totally pointless. If anytnhing else works then its a bonus! From my test drive i vaguely remember it wont let you access the menu system on the onboard computer while you are moving anyway.
Guess i will soon see .. well it better be soon as im getting bored of waiting! :angry:

How long do you think you have before your car arrives now Neil ?
-
hmm, your guess is as good as mine. The latest it will be is late July but earliest will be begining of the month. It is not on the production line yet so i am starting to think it is looking less likely that it will be the start of July. But who knows, fingers crossed!
-
What production week is your car?
-
I called the dealer last week and they have no idea of when it will be delivered. It was ordered on 02May. Orig they said 8 - 12 weeks when i ordered it.
-
You should have a confirmed build week by now if you hope to see the car before the end of July. I have on order an A4 for a guy at work. Its build week 25 and has been for the last 2 weeks. It will be built end of month and then 2-4 weeks later we will get it.
I they dont have an idea I would be very concerned.
-
right im gona give them a call later about the Bluetooth and find out more about delivery.

How did you get on Neil ?
-
I need to find mine out also. My delivery date was 30th july but if they carn't get it to me untill then im just gna wait on 59reg
-
Well have spoken to VW and they reckon my phone will not work and they are not even sure that it will even be able to hang up or end calls through the steering wheel or put the audio through the speakers. I have a Samsung Tocco F480.
Am thinking i might try and see if my local dealer has any cars in with bluetooth and then i can try and pair them to see if it works at all.
Regarding delivery ... its not looking good ... nothing at all ... no build week!!!

Yeah check with your local dealer Neil, make sure its a mk6 gti, or mk5 if its the same bluetooth module they are using.
Regarding delivery, thats bad, very bad, to me it sounds like they aint even ordered it yet.

Just found out in the MKV forum that i need a Fiscon Bluetooth set and it is fully compatible with the VW stereo, steering wheel, speakers and computer.
The thread for anyone interested is

Regarding the car .. who knows ... if they drag it out till December atleast i can get insurance with my current provider and not lose another year of no claims for swapping companies mid policy! However if i wait that long i will not be amused!!
Im thinking late July/early Aug! heres hoping anyway!!!
