bluetooth instalation help

[The Doc]

Sure is - they are pretty straight forward to fit  

I put the arials behind the A pillar

Mic goes in the overhead console - there is a space for it

not had a Bluetooth module rattle yet - i remove the air con controls and fit the in the space below the nav unit - but I do tape em up well and use double sided foam tape to hold them in place

ok the hardest bit might be taking the side pillar trim off but it will be a busy day tommorrow then
does it need switched on with a vag.com cable ?

[The Doc]

Dead easy, just remove the airbag plug at the top and there is a torx screw inside remove this then pull on the trim and it will come off.

Yes you need vag com - you got it?

Where are you?

[bcarlin]

im in lanarkshire just outside glasgow,a local vw specialist says he has vag.com but has never activated it before

[The Doc]

Oh great - fancy a trip?

Hi,

Doc,
how are you getting the mic to the overhead console (post pillar) and how are you finding the mic reception when its there?
Is mic in pillar an option? (ala p3eps walkthrough?)

Thx for the headsup on my local friendly VCDS man, mortygt140, he's booked in.

Mine hasn't arrived yet either, bummer, fitting it in the dark then one eve

I know what you mean, I am/was the same.

My advice (if you want it) is that it isn't as hard as you ecpect, all the advice/info you need is on this excellent site, do the research, don't rush it, ask, and invest in a set of trim removals tools from flebay. 'bout £8, well worth it!
