I see the original position for mounting the control unit is under the passenger seat, but is there enough room to mount this unit behind a RCD510?

First it was going to be a Fiscon, then Mobridge and now I think finally I will get one of these - OEM mic and iPhone compatibility sounds perfect.

I`d say golfgti5 is the man to ask any questions of, I dont know for sure that voice dialling will work - I dont even have my car yet, never mind the kit - I`m just assuming.
Good bit cheaper than the Fiscon/MoBridge kits too, I just wanna know why we havent heard about it sooner  :huh:

Voice dialling is no problem, just put 1 extra wire on the RNS510;

Is there any advantage going for a Fiscon when this unit seems to do it exactly the same (or does it?)?

So this is plug and play?
Remove the RCD/RNS, plug in, and code it..that's it?

No microphone wiring to run?
How's it work then if you don't have to run one?

Here is a very good guide for installing the OEM bluetooth - http://www.octavia-vrs.com/cms/content/integrated-bluetooth

It's a little more simple if you buy one of the full kits from ebay (as linked earlier in thread).

I only had a quick look at the installation link you linked to but it looks a whole lot of hassle compared to the fiscon or mobridge which are plug and play and all done within inside 5 minutes.

I suppose the big difference is that unit is housed beneath the seat rather than tucked away behind the head unit.

^^^ I agree the original install was a lot more work, but with the newer looms on the kits from ebay it no longer requires the extra wires to be connected and is plug and play (same style as the fiscon). You can also choose to mount the bluetooth module behind the headunit but it really not diffcult to put it in the OEM place under the seat  :smiley:
