I'm hoping to add this to the car within a couple of weeks of its delivery.
I understand a VAG.COM setting has to be enabled for it to work.
Can this setting be set by my dealer before I pick up my car obviously without the fiscon installed or do I have to wait until the fiscon unit is in before the setting can be applied.
Basically I'd rather have it done before I get the car to save me going back.
-
Sorry P3asa dont know the answer to your question... but could I just ask where your getting the fiscon kit from?? thx :wink:
-
I can't find it any cheaper than from http://www.fiscon.co.uk/ (http://www.fiscon.co.uk/) direct.

Cheers pal! :wink:
Seen in on fleebay for £380 fitted so not a bad price then.
-
What's not a bad price? Fiscon or eBay?
Gossa on here installed it in 20 minutes so I reckon you would be giving the installers money for nothing. Plus I never trust anyone to take care of my car the way I do. I can imagine them prizing the facia off and not giving a sh*t about snapping the pins etc.
-
In my R32 the setting was already enabled, the Fiscon kit worked as plug n play as my car had evidently been already programmed for it.
So to answer your question, Yes, get them to enable the bluetooth car system in VagCom when you have the car booked in. It should be fine. Worst case you can always take it back again. At least you know you tried first.

Cheers just what I wanted to know. I wasn't sure if VAG.COM was a bit like windoze in that options are greyed out and can't be altered until the part is actually connected.
Thanks.

Just an update:
I emailed Fiscon who replied with:
"Yes you can code before hand,
Please tell the dealer to enable telephone (77) on the can gateway installation list. (i.e they are telling the car it has a factory telephone) It will store a fault until the fiscon is fitted but that will be fine"
Mmmm I wonder if they would do a group buy if enough folk were interested??
Steven.
-
am interested, but do you get bluetooth phone on the rns510?? cause i was wanting to upgrade to this and if it has it then it's pointless getting fiscon

That sounds like a good idea. I would be up for buying it!
-
I would be up for that too!
p.s. Anyone want to buy a parrot kit??? PM me :laugh:
-
I think they did a group buy over on the scirocco forum, 10% off I think?
Fiscon is a doddle to fit but I have not installed the mic wire as neatly as a proper installer would do it but neat enough for me....
-
Thanks Gossa I had a look. They got 12.5% off which brought the price down to £300 near enough!!
I'll email Neil and see if he can do a similar deal for the golfgtiforum.
Cheers
-
Good man, I'm definitely getting it when my car arrives.
Let us all know if you get something sorted, cheers!
-
Ok guys I've been in touch with Fiscon and they can preliminary offer the same as the scirocco deal however this has yet to be confirmed.
They got 12.5% off supply or supply and fit at Milton Keynes.
We need at least 10 to go ahead with it.
I'll move this over to the Group Buy section here http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=127988.0 (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=127988.0)

It's still a tad expensive for what your getting though, isnt it ?
-
It depends really. VW's oem is dearer and not as compatible with the amount of phones the fiscon is.
Any BT headset I've used has been poor and cumbersome if you forget to charge or if it runs out half way through a call.
I'm just treating it as an extra that has been added to the car especially since I was too late to add the winter pack to my car :sad:
-
Is it the Pro version p3asa ?
-
yeah.
-
Does that mean we get text messages up on the mfd??
-
Only if your phone is compliant with BT sms. What phones are I don't know.
You want your name on the "interested list" group buy?

-

I now really need to go and hide my credit card from myself!!
-

-
I'm thinking about just ordering mine and fitting it myself when my Golf eventually arrives.
-
just get your dealer to do it for you
im sure they will if they want to have a happy customer

Hey that's not such a bad idea although I think it will be really easy to do if they aren't that keen.
-
yeah defo i have been reading up on various sites etc and they seem to be very straight forward
-
Hats off to Fiscon, they are now talking about offering a free fitting service if they can get enough bodies.

fitted mine today was dead easy
top service from fiscon as i had to phone rich as i was being a mong (did not read the instructions properly) when setting up my phone then got ally at volksport in dumbarton to activate it :smiley: :smiley:
-
Good service indeed!
Ah well, I've gone for the factory fit anyway since not that much more and no faffinf required.
Ok you'll have better connectivity, but my phone (nokia) works fine and I can use the "proper" phone button on my steering wheel :)

with the fiscon? i thought from another thread that the aftermarket bluetooth kits utilised the OK button on the right only...?

Guys, where did you fit the mic? searching around the web it seems it can go in the overhead light space, somewhere on the dash by the instrument cluster or on the pillar (RH side of windscreen).
Mine was delivered today and I just want an easy way to fit it with decent mic reception but without wrecking too much trim etc.
I'm looking at the pillar at the side of the windsceen but what about the airbag, is it safe to remove trim there and how do you get the wire around it?
Do you really need to disconnecto the battery to fit it? it seems that all you have to do is disconnect radio plug and reconnect with the Fiscon part?
Could anyone outline their installation in terms of how they routed wiring, where they sited the bits etc?
Cheers

Seems to be up the door pillar.
I've read others say not to disconnect the battery.

Hi guys. Interested in getting this fitted but the compatability list does not mention the Blackberry Curve 8900. Does anyone know if this is compatable with the fiscon system?
-
I got the Blackberry 9000 and it works for calls, plays through audio, mutes radio but I am waiting for the stealer to enable phone option so I can access contacts etc on MFD
-

Yep everything works perfectly but you wont get your text messages on the mfd
-
Thanks R32UK. That puts my mind at ease.
I think ill go for the offer from Rich. 300gbp sounds like a good offer and gives me an excuse to travel up the M1
-
Picked up my new spanking White GTI yesterday!! RCD 510 with Dynaudio. zenons and monza shadows.
Now... VW fitted my fiscon basic plus system which works great with te RCD 510.... BUT - the Steering wheel controls do nothing at all an the MFD display does not show anything to do with the fiscon kit. As I understand it shouldn't both the Rcd and the MFD work simultaneously!??
And the shouldn't the call button on te steering wheel work??
Is it faulty, have VW fitted it incorrectly??
Help?
-
quick bump given recent interest
also did we work out if you can do voice dialling with the fiscon? e.g. for the vw kit, you select any of your phone's address book contacts, you can assign an "audio name", i.e. you read out their name, and then you can press the left hand call/ mic button, say "call name", the name you assigned and then it calls for you.
a better system than my old bmw's one where you'd have to set the audio tag and number separately of the phone's address book. i spent ages re-entering numbers... looked a right muppet sitting in my car talking to myself! :tongue:
-

Must be phone dependant as my text messages are displayed.
Keelaw: I've not seen any mention of voice dialling. Sounds a good system if it works. I can remember when phones just came out with it and it would constantly phone the wrong number!! Best system I ever used was "Wildfire" on Orange.
