No bluetooth but MFSW and RNS 510

[greatnortherncamper]

A first message from an (almost) newbie...

Almost certainly about to buy a 62 plate 180 4 motion DSG but am a little confused as the topic header may explain. I had (apparently incorrectly) assumed that the high spec satnav and the multifunction wheel would have had some form of bluetooth by default.

Dealer has kindly offered to fit a Parrot unit but wondered whether the existing set up can be re-configured to provide "inbuilt" bluetooth and compatability with phone button on sat nav and steering wheels without having to add another unit ?

Would welcome any thoughts or advice you may have

Kind regards

The parrot will be a seperate vs integrated system. Best option would be to get the vw bluetooth retro fitted. See this site for details:

There is additional hardware required but it is so much better than an aftermarket solution, particularly if you have the 510 satnav.

Alternate option for fitting (but less info):

Steve,

Many thanks for that - I'm certainly keen to avoid a separate unit if possible - I've sent a message to the first co. you mentioned to get an idea of costs etc..

Thanks again

Depending on how handy you are, or if you want to try and build it into the deal for your dealer to fit but you can but the parts really quite cheaply.

I have fitted my own and another couple for other members.

There have been several posts giving details of where to buy the parts but if you want to pursue it and can't find the posts let me know and I'll repost.

Not got that particular one but I have fitted a similar one in our Yeti.

All works well apart from the radio which doesn't retune automatically very well so we have a Pure DAB unit wired into the Aux input.
I have tried it in the Cali, straight swap as it comes with the Canbus interface, no recoding necessary.
We had a similar unit in our old Bongo for a couple of years without any problems.
