Newbie owner of Ed30...Hi all...but got question!

[Woody.Guern]

Hi all,

Been looking at this forum over the last week, since i bought my "nearly new" Edition 30.

Very chuffed with her too, a quality motor, a few factory extras, and gutsy power!

The only thing I need to sort out is bluetooth phone connection...which I havn't got. I have looked at threads on a few forums, all very informative, so much so I am now a bit confused over the options!

I want achieve full access to  phone functions of my RNS 510, and full function on the multifunction steering wheel. The two phones i want to pair are a samsung sgh-j700, and Nokia 2680. I am prepared to fit it myself.

I believe the VW "premium" system is not so premium, as it dosn't work with a lot of phones!(rsap?) Read somewhere that Skoda 729 bluetooth is good, and all functions that i want will work ok. Than there is a unit called Fiskon, and Mobridge. So you see my problem!

If someone can give any advice (their own installations maybe) or point me in the direction of topics/threads covering this i would be very grateful. Also where can i buy from.

Thanks in advance, Woody

Hello and Welcome 

For those phones it will be the 729 bluetooth kit you need.

Do you have the highline cluster (i.e. full height display inbetween the clocks) and a multi-function steering wheel?

Hi Stevep,

Thanks for your reply. Yes i have the highline display, and multifunction steering wheel.

Re 729 bluetooth kit, is this fully compatible for what i want? are there any site links for fitting?

Would i have to go to a Skoda dealer to buy, and what sort of retail cost would this be?

Thanks again, Woody

THe version you want is the 729B, this is the only one that works with the highline and the RNS-510 touchscreen.

Try this site for a very good fitting guide - http://www.octavia-vrs.com/technical/bluetooth.html

Have a look on ebay for seller car-systems.pl, he does the 729B kits but they aren't cheap as they are getting difficult to get hold of now

Thanks for your help Stevep, much appreciated.

All the best, Woody.

Hi all, thanks for your welcomes, much appreciated.

At last i have found the chap on ebay stevep linked me to, but got another question...i am a bit concerned about the coding of the bluetooth unit, i presume my VW dealer should be capable of this!? If not what are my options?....before i shell out £330!!

Thanks again for any advice, thoughts,

Woody.

I would say you are better off finding someone local with VCDS for your coding as it will be much cheaper.

The 729 unit fully works with the RNS but not the Highline. I am selling my 729C unit which I have only had for 3 weeks. I am removing it today or monday. PM if your interested!

Coding was a nightmare but VRstu was top tastic in helping. TBH i would find someone close to you who has vagcom to help!
