bluetooth music streaming functionality help. rcd510

[jedi-knight83]

So on holiday last year i had a mk6 golf tdi with a RNS315 headunit and bluetooth. Its my first experience of vw bluetooth and it was great. Easy connection of the phone and then I could stream music .. and this is the bit.. where the music track and artist came up on the head unit and i could skip forward and backwards with the steering controls

Skipping forward in time. I bought a 2012 caddy with em bluetooth and was disappointed to find that although I could stream music to the basic RCD310. it simply came up on the display "bluetooth-audio'. I spoke to Eddie-NL about a possible need to upgrade the bluetooth module but apparently its one of the latest versions. The suggestion to try a RCD510 was given so I've now done that and get exactly the same display.. just 'Bluetooth - Audio'

I was really hoping it would display the track info and allow me to skip music with the head unit and steering wheel controls instead of having to control the music via the phone.

But now i'm wondering if this is something purely reserved for the RNS315... which i've since found out has its own built in bluetooth module.

Thanks in advance.

That's all I get on the display

This is the part for the headunit.

What bluetooth module have you?  I have the 7P6 M module installed in my car with a RCD510 and I get all Artist, track name and Length of track etc. on the RCD510

[jedi-knight83]

Im guessing mine is 7P6 J?

I think that's the problem then.  Look at the features here. I don't see it mentioned that you can control a2dp Bluetooth music streaming on the headunit with it. In the m version it is listed

I've got the 9W7 module which I've used with an RCD 510 DAB and RNS 315. In both cases all I get on the screen is BT-Audio with no track names or ability to skip.

So I would say it probably indeed is bluetooth module related.

Spanner in the works.

Eddie-NL tested a J module on his car today and apparently the song info came up on his!?

Not sure whether to try an M module or not now. I het knowing my luck it would make zero difference.

That is a bit of a spanner allright! I looked again on the car systems site and they have a second newer J module and in the features it mentions track information will be displayed on head unit.   I still think it's your module to be honest.  Modules K, L, M are all listed with the functionality on their site

[jedi-knight83]

Is there any model identification for the newer one? Just so I could see if Eddie tried a new one and I have the old one??

There is a M module on eBay for £100. I might give it a punt and cross my fingers.

100% fed up this evening.

no ones fault obviously and i value everyones advice to date.

I bought 2 bluetooth kits 7P6 035 730 M (one to upgrade the van and one to install in the car). I was hoping the M module, compared to my current J version, would give me the track info on the head unit as I've wanted all along.

Sadly this hasn't solved things. I tried simply changing the J module in my van for the M module in the van and also tried with the new loom and the M module in my car.

Both worked exactly as my current J version.. IE.. perfectly well as a handsfree kit and to stream audio but without giving the track info on the head unit and without giving control of the music to the head unit or the steering control..

Any other ideas?

To recap..

I have an iPhone 6 (I also tested my J module with a friends samsung S4 mini)
2012 VW Caddy highline with RCD 510 DAB currently with 7P6 035 730 J
2005 VW Golf GTi with RCD 510 DAB. currently no Bluetooth but now tested with 7P6 035 730 M and not giving track info.
Everything works perfectly, just no track info or music control when playing bluetooth music either in napster or iTunes on the phone.

I put in a 7p6 E version today and it shows the track info. Can even change the tracks from the RNS too.

Hope that helps

I really don't get it... and I wouldn't say I'm an idiot. I've successfully managed to retro fit several cruise kits, upgraded mk6 steering wheels along with related SWCM's and CANBUS modules and managed to code them all so I'm really hoping its not me being an idiot with a simple setting..

... also I'd have said that I need to switch my RCD510 to an RNS510 but Kieran earlier in this thread said his RCD510 showed the track info????

Really confused.

Yeah I have an rcd 510. It's not the dab version though but has rds. Model number 5K0 035 190b.
