I want to fit a used RNS510 version B to my golf but want to have the voice integration that comes with the new version, I have seen discs on Ebay that adds this but have some questions.
How hard is it to code the new unit to my car if I approach a garage with VAGCOM as I want it to work with my rear view camera, MFSW and the factory bluetooth?
Has anyone added the voice integration and do I need a seperate mic or does/will it work from my phone mic?
Thanks

You will defo need the new f/w 2660, VW wont do the coding but once the f/w is on if you are local to someone with VCDS they can sort that out for you,
I can supply the voice control loom ready to just plug into the back of your stereo for £40 plus £2 postage and packing.
You can keep your original mic and just use the wiring but it means faffing with the original wiring, and also having to take all the front of the headlining down to re-route the new wiring to the old wiring and so on. Much easier to fit the new mic and loom into the back of the RNS510 and use 2 mics, This is what they do in the Audi from the factory.

Hey darren!! cheers for that info.. didnt even know anything like that was possible :shocked:
So what functionality is offered through voice integration?? I am now officially interested :grin:
-
RNS 510 navigation system with integrated voice control
The voice control is enabled by either the multi-function steering wheel or the head unit.
A choice of commands on the head unit will enable you to say what you want
The Navigation commands are: navigation, map, enter country, enter city, enter up to five digits of postcode, enter house number, enter junction, activate route guidance, stop route guidance.
The Radio commands are: channel (name), channel (number), frequency, next channel, previous channel, bandwidth, channel list, memory list.
CD commands are: CD, next CD, previous CD, title (number), next title, previous title

VW have sent a letter to their dealers in Germany saying that 2660 is on the internet, customers can have it installed but it will void the warranty as its not a complete version. Wait for ver 2700 to come out, although at the moment its not clear if its just for the C version or will work on versions A and B
link to document (in German) here http://www.motor-talk.de/forum/aktion/Attachment.html?attachmentId=678844 (http://www.motor-talk.de/forum/aktion/Attachment.html?attachmentId=678844) have to add .doc to the end of the file

i want need that!! :grin:

So if I buy a version B I can or cant upgrade the firmware? I have seen CD's on Ebay with the mic saying that it upgrades....
Also as I have the phone does the voice integration still work with that as there is the built mic but the commands will be diffrerent, also does it work like the BMW system where I can just say the postcode and guidance + change radio channels, views etc?
Sorry for all the Q's but I want to get it right.
-
Phone commands will still work
VW say 2660 is not an official release
-
All phone functions work through the RNS510 i.e phone, call, number, speed dial.
Yes works like the BMW system, the 2660 is a beta version but there is that many people with it im surprised VW haven't turned round and said cheers lads let us know what you think and we can make changes for the proper release :grin:
Why has this or any other f/w update got on the internet if VW didn't want it on there vehicles, My car is out of warranty any way so thats not a big issue :rolleyes:
Gilly Ive not found a good place to put the second mics but think VW may be making a roof panel with space for 2 mics in the near future? if you look there is 2 grilles for the mics already...Audi already have 2 mics running for the phone and voice control.

Do you think there will be any updates like this for the RCD510 (ok I know it's not got nav, but the voice control for the sterio is kind of cool).
Or does anyone know of up coming changes planned for the RCD510, or is it new out?

Cheers Darren. Im quite sure im running f/w 2660. So does that mean Im just missing a mic to get voice activation?? :huh:
My current mic is installed behind the rear view mirror, and although its visible, doesnt stand out at all, so I would probably still have space in one of the grills you mention (i only noticed them yesterday would you believe :grin:). when I spoke to VW Leeds regarding anything to do with the RNS510 they looked at like I was from another planet!! :embarassed:
-
Leeds VW are a bunch of cowboys, Graeme in the parts is the only decent lad and Kev one of the techs.
Yes gilly you just need the mic Kufatec do it for £39 with mic plus your postage I think ive got 2 left which you can have 1 for £40 save you the stupid amount on postage.

Cheers Darren.. will drop you a text later although im really busy this week so may have to collect it next week. So will this also need coding or is it just plug and play :undecided:
-
Sorry Gilly only just read this, let me know when your thinking of dropping round and ill go and collect a loom and sort it out for you, The voice control needs activating in the RNS510 so will need coding but no charge mate.
Darren
-
So just to clarify so that I get the right bits......
I am getting a version B RNS510 which I have then seen a CD on Ebay with a mic which updates tho F/W 2660 which I assume I just play on the head unit? it says that if my car has not got telephone pre wire then I need that, how easy is that to fit and where can I get it? and how can I tell if I have it?
Thanks

Just an update for others in case they were keeping an eye on this one. Darren came around on friday and fitted the mic and recoded for me. works an absolute treat!!!
Not sure of many of the commands as yet as I havent had time to have a play or find a manual... but certainly beats trying to use the touch screen whilst driving :smiley:
Vagcom was also used to enable the auto opening of all doors from one click of the key fob (used to annoy the hell out of me). Another cool function that darren enabled was the auto rain function.... great if you leave the windows open and it starts to rain, as it automatically closes them for you :grin: :grin:
Thanks again Darren!! :smiley:

That sounds good :smiley:
-

Oh, I thought that was enabled as standard... obviously not. Wonder why?

I will give them a thorough testing later, havent had much of a chance as yet... but at my last inspection yes they all seem to come up on the MFD correctly. Makes a huge difference to not have to look across to the screen as opposed to the MFD.
Will report back later :smiley:

Glad to hear mate :cool:

I might be wrong being a VW noob, but I'm sure I did this on mine with a straight forward setting on the convenience menu.

i thought i had done it via the highline too... however it never seemed to open them all inc boot. It now just takes one click when opening, or just opening the drivers door after driving.
-
It worked via the MFD for me without a problem.
