RNS 510 Bluetooth

[coop]

Hi Guys

Ive just been looking into fitting a mic to get the voice control working and this is what ive been told I need:

http://www.kufatec.de/shop/product_info.php/info/p1483_Voice-control---Retrofit---VW-RNS-510.html

Which looks perfect, however if im going to fit a bluetooth kit at some point I guess it would come with a mic, so i may as well just go for a bluetooth kit now. Can anyone recommend what to go for, will the mic which comes with whatever kit work with the voice control and will I need to do any coding? Cheers

That setup would be included with the OEM kit.

There are a couple of options, which to be honest have been covered quite well recently -

1Z0 729B Interface - Supports RNS510 and Highline Dash, doesn't support Apple IOS4
1Z0 729D/E Interface - Supports RNS510 and Apple IOS4, doesn't support Highline Dash
7P6 730C Interface - Supports RNS510, A2DP (Although some extra wiring is required) and Apple IOS 4, doesn't support Highline Dash.

You should expect to have to do some coding.

Thanks again VRSTU for you help, so i'm not worried about mac support and I don't have a high line so it looks like the best option for my rns510 ver C would be the 7P6 730C Interface right? any suggestions on what to pay and where to get one? Cheers

[vRStu]

I think there are a few of us here that have them available, SteveP, Darren (Mortygttdi) or myself.  Also you could perhaps try the usual places like eBay etc.

I've also herd allot of people mention Fiscon as an option, would you go for the 7P6 730C over this. I need it to work with android and possibly ios4.

[SteveP]

The fiscon won't be able to share or use an OEM style mic.

I have also heard reports of issues with the fiscon and phones running both IOS 4 and Android from another forum.

Do you have Highline in your car?

No highline, sounds like I need the 7P6 730C. Basically the boxes it needs to tick are:

SatNav / Phone Voice control
Android and IOS4 support
Full compatibility with RNS 510 Ver C

[SteveP]

Yep that's the one I would go for

Would this one meet my criteria

Cant find the 7P6 730C

[SteveP]

Nope that's the older 729E which doesn't support A2DP

You Want this one

white dot matrix only, I have a MK5 so red, the other one wouldn't have worked either, can you find any others. Cheers

[vRStu]

The 7P6 is for the white dash insert which is why we said that it doesn't support red dash insert above.  It will work in your car but will not display on the dash insert.

Steve - I've just had a look at some of my wiring looms, they are fitted with the extra wires for A2DP.  Did you look the one you had the other day??

He doesn't have highline anyway.

So I think I need the 1Z0 729D/E as I dont need A2DP?

[vRStu]

The 729E was the unit of choice until recently, and to be honest probably still is.  Judging by what you've said it'll serve your needs.
