evo,

How do they fasten onto the dash?
Is there a pre-existing mounting point?
The pics don't make it clear.

I like the idea as they seem to work with more phones than the Factory Fit phone option does (Blackberry especially) but just wondered how they fasten to the dash, before comitting.

That would be superb! Thanks.
I'm assuming there is a designated mounting point already there.

IMHO I would go for the OEM (factory fit) type kit, but get the non-rsap version (like the 729E kit), this means no clutter on the dash and fully integrated with the steering wheel/dash cluster and touch screen interface on the RNS or RCD510  :smiley:

These can be had for around £250 and the install takes about an hour.

I have retrofitted one of these to my Mk6 and it works great with both my Blackberry 8310 and iPhone 3GS (neither of which would work with the factory premium bluetooth).

Where can they be obtained from Steve?
I didn't know there were other options...

But you also need coding, not just the hardware ?

^^^ Correct OEM kits will need to be coded.
