Summary of Bluetooth Options for RNS510 & RCD510

[sharkablue]

Shark,

I had the runaround with the dealer, when I brought the MY10 R, I asked a guy in parts about a bluetooth unit and he told me all MY11 were a $550 factory order and they COULD fit it (MY11) for 1800 dollars. After I choked on my Pizza subway, he told me to go to Fiscon to buy a bluetooth unit ( which was considerably cheaper and fit it myself, which I did ( which is extremely easy ), and I brought it for $643 delivered. Look it up, Shark, and do yourself and your wallet a favour. If you can use a screwdriver you can fit this kit, cause thats all it takes, glad VW sorted out the dashboard radio fitments on the 6.

Hello Swalee,

Are there guides on getting this fitted? I personally dont feel confident ripping apart my interior to get mics and cabling installed in the car?

However I am yet to see a guide on doing this.

Hi, I would need some expert advise here. My ICE setup is in my signature. I have Fiscon plus (v1.83 software) and MFA on my RNS510 (firmware 266.

My Fiscon BT works like a charm when it's connected up with the amps and stuff, without the Alpine PXA-H701 processor. But once I plug in the H701, the caller will hear very clear echo of his or her own voice when I answer the call. They sound like they are talking to themselves, hearing repeats of every word they say.

After some trial and error, I found that the caller is actually hearing himself through the mic when his voice is re-produced via the car speakers. When I turn down the speaker volume, the echoing starts to disappear....but then I can hardly hear the caller too. Somehow, the H701 is delaying the voice signals by a sec or so such that by the time the voice is projected out of the speaker, the mic is already in receving mode and picks it up...

I've tried moving the mic from the front cabin light area to the top of the A pillar....doesn't help.
I've tried disabling the time alignment feature in H701....doesn't help.
I've tried putting 2 layers of sponge over the mic....doesn't help.
I've tried plugging in another different unit of H701...doesn't help.
I've tried removing the H701 and plug the RCA inputs directly to the amp....no more echo, works like a charm.

The last thing I've not tried is VAG-COM programming but someone told me that it will throw up a series of fault codes as I'm not using the original VW BT module. Not sure how true this is.

Basically I'm looking at:
Telephone - Contoller 77
Channel 130 (offset delay to avoid echos)
or Channel 136 (ofset delay for send & receive)

I can't find any functions in Fiscon Plus that can set any delays as well..
Can any experts advise?

Hi, need a life-saver here. My wife said I spoilt the BT and I keep telling her it's not spoilt, it just echo

Anyone with this encounter above? Seems tough to find someone using a H701 and Fiscon BT combo. Have been searching www for clues. BTW, swapping of amps doesn't help either, have tried 3 different amps.

Can the first post be updated with regard to the E version of Part number 1Z0 035 729 E?

I'm thinking of getting it for a MK6 MY10 Golf 118 TSI since it's plug and play and reasonably priced. Not terribly important, but is this the one that does or does not support BT music streaming? I'm not too concerned about voice activation either.

Thanks

i think you may find that the fiscon unit has adjustable mic gain etc etc.

accessed with the MFD and steering wheel controls, in setup.

try that.

Oh, that was the very first thing I tried but it didn't work. It's not a mic sensitivity issue. The gain in the MFD controls the sensitivity of the mic. I've even set it to only 8db, anything lower I don't think the caller can hear me. The echo is still there.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could advise me on this. I've just had Fiscon BT installed by Mobiletek in Adelaide into my MkVI GTI with RCD510 (No sat-nav). The MFD is the white type, being a MkVI.

1) I was expecting there to be phone info and settings on the MFD not just on the head unit.
2) I was also expecting to be able to answer calls from the phone button on the steering wheel, but I seem to have to press a button on the head unit to do this.

Were my expectations incorrect or does something have to be set differently?

Thanks in advance,
p2b

Fiscon BT should integrate with the MFD and the steering wheel, yes. Refer it back to the installer and ask them to fix it.

It just needs to be 'coded' to work with the MFD and steering wheel controls....Very simple with a VAG COM cable and software or the dealer should be able to do it... It is a 5 minute job....
