Bluetooth advice

[mikebgti]

I have a RNS 510 and would like to add Bluetooth but not sure of the best way to go. Options I have seen are kuftec and skoda but not sure what is best any advice welcome

Both the Fiscon and the OEM VW/Skoda kit's are very good with the RNS-510

Thanks  where is the best place to buy either kit and what should I be looking to pay . Are these easy diy fit?

DIY - Have a look at VrStu's excellent guide - http://www.octavia-vrs.com/technical/bluetooth.html

I brought my current VW OEM kit from ebay and my last one from VrStu

Ok thanks for the info

Just had a read of the write up for fitting the Bluetooth and it looks like a big job for me as I have not taken the inside of my car apart like that. Think I may need to get help fitting it. Had alook on eBay does £300 sound about right for the Oem kit? Can you get voice control on this also?

[vRStu]

Voice control is a function of both the RNS510 and the Bluetooth.  The Bluetooth has Voice as standard but you need a MFSW to activate it however if you upgrade the RNS510 firmware to the latest then that includes Voice Control and then both devices can be controlled from a MFSW or a button on the RNS510.

For RNS510 Voice Control the Bluetooth Microphone must be routed via the RNS510.  The Bluetooth wiring looms I have made now include the wiring for Voice via the RNS510 as standard.

Fitting on the Golf is slightly easier than the Octavia as the trim comes apart more conveniently and there is more space behind the headunit. Failing that you could ask somone to help you.

Stu do you deal with a lad called Nick from Leeds he works for VW/Audi fitting phone prep and navigation units,  but he was saying about the new looms and its a coincidence you just mentioned you make them up??

No I don't Darren.

I used to supply a couple of VW and Skoda dealers but they don't use so many of them.
