Can the thread be moved here - frequent questions. Maybe I should write a Bluetooth FAQ and get a mod to stick it here?

Yes I could, but I'm trying to get the MK6 crew out into the general population  :rolleyes:

So, can I post my question here (given that it is far more likely to be answered than in the new members section?

Sorry for jumping on the GTI forum but you guys seem the most knowledgeable golf owners about so can you tell me - I've got a golf match on order which comes with "bluetooth phone prep" on a RCD 510 with DAB but there seem to be mixed messages about the bluetooth profiles supported. Is this unit rSAP only or have they now expanded to other bluetooth profles?

Assuming that they have other profiles, that is good as you can use a wider range of phones but presumably only for some of the functions you can use an rSAP phone for? i.e. you can make and receive calls only?

As I understand it, the new orders have Hands Free Profile (HFP) compatibility.

Ok, for reference for any other members - I went to the dealers and sat in a new Match and had no probs pairing my phone (iphone 4) with the car. Didn't try making calls but the salesman said that his phone was an iphone 4 and that he had no probs, so it does seem that the latest models have a bluetooth profile other than just rSAP (which was problematic).
