Yet another RNS/BT/MDI thread

[Squeeguk]

Can anyone confirm that the Iphone 4 will work fine with the 730B kit? And also what features you lose out or have?

[JoeDarKa]

Only the 729B shows on the highline but as mentioned on previous posts the 7P6 modules won't show any phone info.

It offers voice control if you're RNS510 firmware allows it and also A2DP plus its compatible with most phones including the iphone and blackberrys.

Well hopefully if i can voice control it, it doesnt matter about showing on the MFD!

Right so have I understood correctly. For highline you need a 729B but as im staying with midline I don't need to fork out for that.

Then would I be right in saying with the 730(x)'s that its the same with all other VW parts in that 5K0 035 730 D is a newer and revised 5K0 035 730 B and that the 7P6 035 730 C is newer than the 5K0's?? In which case it doesn't matter which one you get??

Thanks for all the help so far

As you have the midline IMO you won't want the 729B (but if you intend to retrofit highline as myself have done go for it ).

Its definateley a minefield regarding bluetooth options so choose carefully as others has got modules that won't pair with their phones.

The 5k0 & 7p6 modules are the later ones with better compatibilty with most phones plus its has A2DP as  extra features.

Nah I'm going to be staying with midline, it would be nice to have everything through the display but I can live without that until I change cars.

Thats what I'm worrying about as I don't want to get a BT unit and its not compatible with my phone (iphone 4s). It seems my logic is correct going by ebay prices as the 5k0's are cheaper than the 7P6 unit. As price is limiting I think it will be a 5k0 unless I can get it all separately cheaper.

thanks for your help  

Edit:
after trawling the net it seems the 5k0's are the replacement for the 7P6's so a 5K0 it is

I've read in a few places that there needs to be a different lead from the MDI to the RNS to be able to run Bluetooth aswell is this true??

[Eddie-NL]

my MDI came with a kufatec loom and the bluetooth loom came from Carsystems Poland all working nicely

Looking to put 7p6 bt modul in my mk5 gti.

i know it won't display anything on the red mfa, BUT will it still work with MFSW? Would i be able to control the a2dp audio with my steering wheel buttons? mute? volume?

does the sat nav still shows in the red mfa arrows and stuff? is it connected to te bluetooth in any way?

thanks..

Mk5 wheel will not work, only mk6 with 7P6. Yeap, satnav will work as worked before.

The MFSW will work if you have a PolarFIS Adv. fitted and the red display will work if you fit a Polar BT/Battery module (that corrects the problem with the MFSW, red display and battery drain).
