I might just sit tight until i get the fiscon bluetooth kit :undecided:
Thats what i was thinking but don't think i'll be getting it anytime soon now, it just annoys me really more thatn anything ha its not a major problem. How much you pay for you'r RNS510 pal?

i paid £700 iirc. But that was over a year ago I think now... so a great investment non the less :smiley:

Will be updating it to version c too later :wink: :nerd:

I'd be curious to see if this makes the unit work with all the steering controls?
Does it work with the climate control just now?

So with the update your climate control and steering controls work perfectly now?

All the climate control settings work on the screen. The mfsw volume control works fine, but the option to change tracks etc does not.

Also the audio track names that are displayed on the mfd are no longer there, but i imagine that is linked to not being able to change tracks from the mfsw.

Not good... I wonder if VagCom will sort this out?
I'm still in 2 minds whether to retrofit or go for the factory option.  A big saving on the retrofit, plus I can sell on the RCD510 afterward - but at least the factory one would work properly.
Is it worth the extra £600 (plus the £300 I'd get back from the RCD)?!  I doubt it!!

Its upto you how you go about it, at the end of the day its your decison and you should do whatever you feel happy with. I have the same problem as R32UK, its not a major problem and if vagcom wont sort it i'd be able to live with it knowing i only spent a fraction of the 2grand VW would of charged.

The RCD510 is very nice. I had it on my Eos and it comes as standard on the GTI here in France. However, I think if I was planning to go down the retro-fit route, I would probably go the whole hog and get the RNS510.

You would be getting an RNS510 for the cost of a £300 upgrade, no matter what way you look at it, that is worth it a million times over.
