Roof Console - Three-Button Module - Reprogram

[Corey_R]

They're for the Bluetooth. You'll find them in the Bluetooth supplemental manual.

Bluetooth.... OK... obviously there's yet another book I have to try to read. There's the owners, the RCD510 (player 8 or something), warrantee, service, and if it's in there a Bluetooth.

Here I was thinking all the bluetooth was controlled from the RCD thing and the steering wheel buttons. Bloody hell, where do I sign up for the pilots lisence to drive this damn car.

Thanks Corey, you're a goldmine of information.

Don't get too excited:

If you hold down the spanner it is meant to dial (via bluetooth and your phone) VW assistance - This tries to dial a Euro phone number
If you hold down the i key it will contact VW information - again a Euro phone number
Pressing the star will activate the voice control, unless you have an RNS510 in which case the star button on that device overrides the roof console.

Therefore the buttons should be labelled: Chocolate teapot, motorbike ashtray & bull tits.

Oh. They're useless then. I wonder if voice control would work with an iPhone. Seems problematical at best for those. Maybe I need to get a different 'smart' phone.....

I'll just use the MFD to make calls. Thank you people for the valuable information.

Gold. LOL.
Hmnn. Wonder if these can be reprogramed by VCDS to do something useful for local context.
e.g. spanner - call VW assist in AU

Hangonwut? The spanner button calls VW assist in Europe? Surely that can be configured to call the VW Australia's roadside assist. Surely!

[orkers]

Not sure if it can be changed. When I tried it the number it tried to ring on my phone was 008008655792436

sorry to drag up an old thread... mine too dials this EU number ... can you reconfigure the default numbers here?... like for pizza, hookers or something useful??
