What is the Best Bluetooth Telephone System?

[SteveP]

Yes it comes with voice control and bluetooth A2DP audio streamline

Do these retro kits need professional installation or are they plug and play? What exactly do you have to do?

[SteveP]

No wiring is required (if you buy the plug and play loom), but they do need coding and a fair bit of trim removing.

I am in Hampshire, how would I get this done?

Ebay seems to have loads available

Presumably a car audio garage could fit one if I ordered it?

What is the coding that is referred to

I saw a reference to asking the vw dealer to enable something along the lines of "telephone 77 enabled" My local dealer said they would not do that:-(

There is a business that offers this service called Hazy Days - anyone used them ?

Or should I just get the dealer to fit the VW touch ? Anyone use one of those?

any comments appreciated.

I am in West London so would be able to help, either myself or Mortygttdi can supply these kits and fitting and coding takes around an hour.

SteveP supplied and fitted the VW kit for me. 

We had some issues with the kit (none of which were Steve's fault), which Steve was able to identify and rectify. 

So, I would definitely recommend going for the VW kit - fitted by Steve.

Hope that helps.

ps Steve, that English female voice on the voice activation is driving me mad.  I think I prefer the American girl!

[SteveP]

^^^ Me too 

Once the new firmware and maps are out for the RNS I will pop over and update the coding to turn this back to the american voice if you want?

[cjp64]

Yes please!

Steve, have you any news on availability of the new firmware and maps?

[SteveP]

Nope not yet.
