What is the Best Bluetooth Telephone System?
« on: 23 July 2010, 15:39 »
All, I'd be grateful for your views as to which is the best bluetooth telephone system to install in the MK6. 

Originally, when I ordered my car in January I specified the VW telephone preparation, which I then found out had compatability issues.  So, I took that out of my spec, only to find that by the time my car was built and collected a couple of weeks ago, VW had addressed those issues.  So, I am assuming (but tell me if I am wrong) that it is now too late to have that system fitted.

I then started looking at Fiscon systems, but it seems from what I have read here that it has compatability problems with the latest generation of phones, I am not clear whether or not it works properly with the car's multi-function steering wheel and I don't like the idea of having the microphone visible.

Don't know much about MoBridge (other than that it seems expensive).

As you can tell, I am getting confused.  Any guidance you could give me would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

CJP64

PS I am loving the new car.

It's 100% possible to retrofit the new Premium 7P6 bluetooth kit and integrate this with the MFD and RNS  :smiley:

This costs around £340 and IMHO is a much better solution than the Fisco

Is this the same as the vw bluetooth telephone preparation at £240, which was the only option I had when I ordered my car in June.

I think this is what I've got and which was fitted by Darren. Seems to work very well with my Blackberry Bold 9700. It's great not to have the microphone sticking out of the 'A' pillar.

Thanks Steve.  This is probably a stupid question, but presumably there would be no difficulty fitting that kit even though I have a reversing camera?

Also, are VW good at updating software?  Or will I find that in a few years the system will not work with new phones (which has happened to me before)?

Lastly, where would I get this fitted?

Thanks for all the help.

Chris

It will work fine on cars with RVCs.

People like myself or Mortygttdi can help with supply/fitting. Where are you based?

Hey guys,

I'm wanting to add bluetooth to my mark VI. I have a RNS 310 install with MFD and multifunction sheering wheel. Could also use some help with supply and fitting if you could assist?

Cheers

Chris.

After getting my speeding ticket, my Fiscon Basic Plus decide to packup as well. Its been a very bad week. Rung up my local dealer at Liverpool, they said it is senseless to retrofit one as the cost will be prohibitive! If you guys think there is no problem fitting the newer and better Bluetooth kit, I just wonder whether it comes with the voice control?
