Phone Kit options

I know it wasn't directed at the Fiscon but yes the Fiscon can answer and end calls via the phone button.

With regard to Fiscon,

You remove the RCD/RNS, fit it, replace RCD/RNS and code it...and that's it?
No microphone cables to run?

I asked about the VW thingy today, and can't get a straight answer out of them as to whether or not it has an external microphone you (VW dealer) need to install, or if it used an already existing but unused factory fitted mic.
Anyone know?

No. You need to run a mic to wherever you want to situate it. I ran mine to the top of the A frame (less than 5 minute job) others run it to top of steering wheel mount and others to the light unit in the overhead compartment.

Not sure if you have your car yet but I asked my dealer to enable "telephone 77 on the CAN gateway" during the PDI and then it was just a matter of plug and play for me.

I am quite sure a mic has to be fitted. There is however a purpose built place for them... near the console in the roof. Its a little square bit with holes designed for mic's so its not visible once fitted

Have a look here, when gossa fitted his fiscon, i'm gonna go for this as well as its been tried and tested by quite a few on here.

Yes the functionality is spot on... my mic is in a similar place to gossa's but if I had know at the time of fitting I would of had it put in the correct place, totally out of view.

Yeah it looks better out the way but I have read a few folk complaining it also sounds muffled in there.

Ahhh... i think that space is designed for the proper square shaped VW mic so maybe a little extra padding is required. Mine is just behind the rear view mirror, not really noticable at all and works a treat. Probably a similar distance from the driver as gossa's is.

I was all for goin for the mObridge kit until damian started having all the issues with his RNS, kind of put me off, it's probably nout to do with the kit but you never know do ya? I also thought about gettin it put in that housing by the light until i heard that it was quite muffled, however i'm going to get mine fitted by fiscon so i suppose i could ask them to try it there first, and try makin a few calls while i'm there.

I actually PM'd rich at fiscon last week to ask if they are doin another free fit day, he said he's collecting details for the next one, my only issue is that it doesn't look like i'm getting mine till mid/end of april. Do we think it's worth startin a thread for interested people?
