hi all ive bought a mk6 gti with the larger screen for the radio (not sure what the differance is) but it appers not to have the bluetooth, is this an easy job to buy and fit it so it works with the steering wheel ?

You will need a Bluetooth module installed, there are a few on eBay, not sure of the exact part nuber but someone on here will no doubt be along to help you out.

A picture of your new toy is needed  :cool:

I have got the bluetooth module sat in the cupboard,  the one i took out of mine when i swapped it for the later module that works with the iphone 4, going cheap if you want it but you will need the loom and mic  :wink:

I am pretty certain that it hasn't got premium phone kit (it will have a shark fin)
The large screen stereos RCD OR RNS dont have bluetooth built in, it is an add on and the unit is under the drivers seat  :wink:

shark fin not for Nav it is phone kit
