RCD 510 + Fiscon

[Graeme1978]

Hi all,

I'm looking at swapping out an RCD 310 for an RCD 510 and having the Fiscon kit fitted.  Can anybody tell me if this will provide full functionaility in terms of the MFD and steering wheel controls?

Anything it can't do that the factory fitted 'Telephone Preperation' can do?

Thanks,

Graeme

Fiscon has full control from MFSW and shows up in MFD but can't be answered from the phone button, you answer calls with the OK button.

The 'OK' button on the steering wheel?

the factory fitted has full voice command functionality.  you can assign voice tags via the computer on the dash to any of your address book contacts.

i may be wrong, but yet to be told that the fiscon can do this.


("ok" button on the steering wheel is the one on the right.  on the left are the phone button and also the voice dial button below it)

So you can use the buttons on the left of the wheel for volume up and down etc?

The 'OK' button on the steering wheel?

Yes mate, the Ok button on the wheel. You can answer a call, end a call, adjust volume during call etc with Fiscon. It is seemlessly integrated.

Thanks for the replies all.  Looks like its exactly what I'm after.

Am ordering a GTD as a company car this week, one of the lease companies has the colour I want (Carbon Grey) for delivery in 2 weeks but it doesn't have the RCD510 which I did want, but I'm impatient and didn't fancy waiting until Jan/Feb for the car.

Would have got the GTI but company car tax and fuel costs bit high compared with the GTD.

The Fiscon website isn't too clear on how it operates. Do you transfer your contact numbers from your phone to the Fiscon, and then use the touchscreen to make calls if necessary? The 'answering a call' does seem to be well integrated.

once its sync'd with your phone all your numbers update in the unit everytime you connect i.e. get in the car
