Bluetooth for RNS510 -available

**tryingavw** · 27-11-2008, 12:38 PM

My dealer informed me that bluetooth was released for RNS510 sat nav
(on passat but maybe others as well) 2 weeks ago.

I am supposing its a dealer fitted option?

Anyone ordered it or planning to?

Feedback would be great on how it goes.

Latest news we MAY get it b4 christmas

IF we get it, that will be slightly over 6 months.

But you guys keep telling me it will be worth it

I'll let you know, my unit was on backorder so I'll be organising fitting soon now that it's available.

Hey Cro... what was the price of the bluetooth you have on back order? I'm thinking of ordering one myself.
Cheers

Is this price for the genuine VW fully integrated 'premium' version or a 'Parrot' based unit?

I asked for a freebie, and they gave me that

I was half expecting the Parrot kit, but when they told me the kit hadn't been released yet I knew I'd get the RNS510 integrated one.

I have a new Passat Wagon on order (due March 2009) with RNS510 and Bluetooth. Today I asked my dealer for details of the bluetooth device and received the following reply:

"Mate with the Bluetooth it is a very new system that is now being fitted. The old Bluetooth didn't suit the new MY09 sound system. The new Bluetooth is made by Nokia and I am told is very easy to use. I have only heard good reports. I don't at this stage have any information that I can forward you, but I will speak to the service department and see what they can find?"

I got the kit installed today, and so far so good.
I have two phones paired with it, and it seems that when both are in range the one that connected last gets priority.
I would have preferred to set the priority myself, but doesn't matter.

My phone auto pairs after a minute of starting the car, and call quality is pretty good. The one annoying feature though, everytime I open my phone (fold phone), the car connects to the phone. So the radio gets muted if I want to go through messages, or look something up.

I wouldn't pay full price for the kit, but I am glad that I have it now as I've been missing it for some time now.

Hi Cro,

Thanks for the info. Does it show your phone book contacts in the MFD screen & does it allow voice dialling?
