To have DAB you need to buy a DAB version. For BT you need to buy a BT kit. Check carsystems.pl or the For Sale section. :wink:

So i can add Bluetooth to a RNS510 at a later date, but i cant add DAB later, it has to be "DAB on arrival"?" ?

Right guys, i am a little confused at the moment if you can help me please.
I will tell you my current setup first:

Mk5 55plate tdi dsg
Standard midline display
NO mfsw
Rns510 dab getting fitted in 2 days along with new canbus
New BT module (thanks to @Pashka)
BT loom & mic (thanks to @Eddie-NL)

I can get a highline display cluster reasonably cheap in a few days.
Will there be any benefit of the highline cluster to me?
Will it make a difference to how my Bluetooth will work?
How will i get the Bluetooth to work without mfsw?

Highline cluster shows the nav directions, track listings and phone book/call info
Will it make a difference to how my Bluetooth will work?
Bluetooth will still work via the headunit interface
How will i get the Bluetooth to work without mfsw?
Calls can be placed straight from the headunit using the touchscreen

Nice addition though to have a highline display - and peeps have added the buttons to a non mfsw without too much trouble
I am sure @Eddie-NL can advise accordingly

Where Napoleons armies marched with horse and musket and Hitlers Reich crumbled in blood and rubble, the warriors of Armageddon do battle against the landscape of hell now indeed thrive the ARMOURERS

 thanks for the info! Still in two minds about the highline cluster because i have been told that i need a "Polar FIS BT" kit or something for the calls/phonebook/tracklistings to show properly in the highline display?

If you don't get the Polar BT/Battery module, you can only control your BT module from the RNS/RCD-510 touchscreen. I preferred to have the whole package, so I got the Polar BT module.

Also, the Polar BT/Battery also corrects the battery drainage problem with older Golfs, so you don't need to upgrade the CAN gateway if you just want a newer radio and BT module.

Oh man! If i knew the polar unit does that and displays on highline, i probably wouldnt have bought the new canbus! oh well, look on the bright side, saved a but of money for a different mod

The high line dash is a good upgrade and worth doing
