bluetooth instalation help

[mustard]

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 had mine fitted into the overhead compartment (thanks to Steve P) andthe reception is absolutely fine, much better than my previous which was fitted externally above the mirror.

I am available to talk now

i decided to give it a go today and ive installed it ok
i even wired in to under the seat but i broke 2 clips on the bottom of the radio trim 
when i now press the phone button it says sos call only ,do i still need to get it coded with vag.com ?
i thought it was a bit weird it now isnt a mute button or is this normal until its coded
how do you actually pair the phone to the car, i have searched on my phone but its not finding the car

[The Doc]

You use the car to pair to the phone through the display in the clocks, but his display may not be vis

Well done for the install

thanks for the offer to phone you but i didnt want to give you my troubles 
there is no option in my dispay for a phone -i asume ill need to wait till its activated
will i print off the page from p3eps dummies guide to vag.com as the guy has never activated a phone before and i want it all to work-as in the steering wheel etc

Few questions chaps...

1. Can anyone tell me if it's possible to route the big cable under the drivers door-side seat runner (i.e. is it possible without taking the seat out). At the moment the small mic and antenna leads go under okay but the big ones connector block's just too big.

2. I've stuck the antenna (the thing that looks like a spatula) on the A pillar metalwork. Anyone done the same and found it doesn't hold in place? Where have other people stuck theirs?

3. The mic in the overhead console is not too tight a fit. Anyone experience rattles from it?

Ta!

1 I don't know as I fit them behind the air con controls - loads easier

2 No

3 No

Peace ;-)

If you feel its too loose, try sticking something else in the holder with it to pad it out.  Saves you worrying about rattles.

I pulled up the sill trim and ran it along close the chair then pushed it under the carpet and fed it up through the whole where the airbag wiring is rather than under the chair rails.
