Pepe - have you prepared that install guide yet ? Interested in your experiences in running the Mic cable, fitting it etc. Also was that large plug adapter "plug & play" or did you have to swap any wires around to get the voice recognition working on the Head unit ? Where did you fit the BT unit - under the seat or in the dash ?Quote:

I put it under the seat with the foam cover.
The trickiest things were actually running the cables around, my hands can attest to how tight some of the spaces you have to get them into are, they are covered in scrapes and scratches still.
What model car did you have again ? I am surprised the mic was there already or did you already have a different model BT unit installed ?Quote:

My Bluetooth kit arrived today. So it took a week to get here exactly.
Not bad.
Now I need to get my dealer to install it for me... And code my car...
I have called up Barloworld Glen Waverley and the parts department have ordered in the Foam Cover for me:
1K0 919 737 M
$27.10
Now Im also debating wether I order the RNS510 from Ebay too...
Where else would you get it from? The London seller has a great price and ships very fast.
If anyone gets a new Windows 7 Series Phone I'd be interested to know how well the People Hub (address book) works with the BlueTooth.
Is anyone thinking of getting one? The contract on my Nokia N96 expires in a month or two, and I'm looking to switch from 3 to Telstra NextG at this stage.
I was lucky enough to buy my RNS510 on Ebay from someone who bought it here from an Oz VW Dealer but never installed it. It came with the original DVD which the Lithuania & Spanish ones dont. When buying from Europe, factor into your budget that you might need to buy a DVD if the Navigation Maps ever get screwed on the Hard Drive. You can buy the Aussie Map DVD's on Ebay too.Quote:
