All your MY12.5+ Bluetooth Touch Adaptor Answers

I should have spent the extra $10k to get the GTi! The VW PHONE is discoverable for a little bit, I don't get the "touch adaptor not installed" warning. I do have Bluetooth options on my RCD310 though, I might take some photos of the menu and post them but will try and get someone to help with the with VCDS settings.

I Thought I'd put pics of my Universal XL installed since it is difficult to find pics of it all installed online.

And just a note the power cable normally just hangs down on the left.
I've wrapped some tape around it so it is fat enough to hold in behind the unit so it is a little neater.

Nice, where did u get this cradle? Self install or need someone to do it

I bought the cradle on eBay, it just clips in place of the touch adapter so no hard work other than getting someone to do the coding.

You should start by reading the start of this thread.

Thanks for the pics dening, I've been trying to get my head around how it works.
Is the cable on the left hand side fixed, or detachable?
Do you get a signal boost when it's plugged to your phone? Or just the power? (not sure if this was covered already)

Yeah the cable is removable, it's a right angle mini usb then the micro usb for the android phone. I've tried to find a neater one with an up angle micro but haven't had any luck.

The bury site says that there is a signal boost, I'm not sure how it might work though and haven't noticed anything yet.

There will be a signal boost, the bury dock is directly connected to the antenna on the roof of the car. I believe they put a loop in the dock. You probably won't notice more bars (receive), but it should really help the phone getting the signal out of the giant metal box that is a car (transmit).
