Summary of Bluetooth Options for RNS510 & RCD510

[pabs10]

Still a little unsure as to which unit to buy for my '11 golf gti mk6 RNS510.

Any ideas? 9w7 or 9wz? I've read some issues with fitting the 9wz in the golf. I was hoping to buy it off eBay from the spanish dude.

All depends on if you plan to use the RSAP (Remote SIM) features (if your phone supports it). If yes, get the 9WZ, if no, go for the cheaper 9W7.

You can always get the 9WZ and not use RSAP as well. Just has an extra antenna that you have to install somewhere.

Does the 9WZ have any other features over the 9W7??

I want the song name to come up on the screen over bluetooth and I want to be able to control the bluetooth using MFSW

Is this possible? Also is it possible to update the 9W7 firmware yourself?

The only one who has got that working to my knowledge is VRaptor. He had the 9w7 kit and the RNS510 with firmware updates. So you are in with a chance.
By "update the firmware" do you mean update to provide more features (ie version c to version G)? I don't think so, but happy to be corrected.
Either way you will need coding.

I think I'll got the 9W7 then. I'll try to find VRaptor's response.

In regards to updating the firmware on the 9W7. Can we actually update the Bluetooth firmware on the 9W7 itself?

Seriously, while it is hard work, have a read through the first few and last 10-12 pages of this thread.

just thought i'd mention that I also see the track name, album and artist on screen when streaming via A2DP. I have a 9W7 bluetooth unit (7P6 035 730 F), an RNS510 running v3970, and an iPhone 4S running iOS5. Buttons on RNS screen allow skipping tracks, and play/pause.

Great post & very informative. Thanks.

Would you know if the B7 SatNav uses Next G or is it still relying on GSM. A friend of mine has a 2yo Tiguan & she noticed coverage drops out in country Vic even though her phone has signal. That would be annoying!!

Hi,

I have the F model 9W7 and the name and controls come up through A2DP - that must be the model to get.

I've installed it and it's working although I can't get the menu up through the White MFD. Golf Mk6 GTI. Any ideas?

Have you done the VCDS coding?
