Have you got the Bluetooth Menu in the DIS?

Is DIS on the dash?

If so no I haven't.

When I turn bluetooth on my phone and search it doesn't find anything

Have you coded the new unit and bluetooth into the car with VAGCOM?

Yes. When you use the < > buttons on the right hand side of the steering wheel to go through the various menus, Bluetooth appears on the dash display. It goes something like, Trip computer - Audio - Vehicle Setup - Bluetooth - Navigation, depending on what is installed.

As I said before, if it's not coming up there, the car hasn't been told it's fitted, therefore it needs coding.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Half an hours labour I would have thought. Any more and they're taking the p1ss.

Ok thanks again, hopefully thatis all it needs, do you think the same will apply to the reverse camera, ie new stereo needs coding?

No sir, I just thought (hoped!) it would be plug and play.

Don't really want to take it to VW so looking for a friendly person with VAGCOM  :smiley:

PM The Doc. He likes doing that sort of stuff and isn't a million miles away from you. He is fond of a KFC.

Sadly not mate. You need to activate the module and tell the car everything is fitted  :nerd:

Check out the VAGCOM user location map for someone who can help for a beer token or two  :wink:
