Polo and Bluetooth

(Sorry if this is the wrong area - it's a cross over between Polo specific and the Electronic section).

Hi,
Just wanted to check the bluetooth options on the Polo. I've just ordered a 77TSI and the dealer says that there are no factory bluetooth options. Really? I want something fairly simple - just be able to answer calls on an iphone. Don't care a lot about outgoing calls. (I wish that if there aren't options VW removes mention of options in the brochure - page 31 bottom right).

If there isn't a way of getting a proper system factory fitted, then what are the options?

The dealer must be pretty stupid.....

The Bluetooth is a genuine VW accessory and is dealer fitted at a cost of around $700-$800. It integrated with the MFD and steering wheel controls.

Hope this helps.

Do you know the part number? (it's the dealer at Hawthorn Kane-St-Kane - closest to me).

Factory Fitted Option and Dealer Fitted Accessory are two completly different things in the world of Volkswagen. I suggest you speak to your sales consultant again regarding the Volkswagen Dealer Fitted Accessory Bluetooth Kit. Part Number is 1K0051473.

Get a Pioneer aftermarket unit like I did, it features full bluetooth with phonebook function on screen. Also, it functions a hell of a lot better in other areas too.

Thanks - maybe that's what he meant. We did the deal for the car quickly yesterday afternoon just after COB, so we've left some of these aspects later.

EDIT: Yes, dealer called to talk about delivery times (May/June ) and that's the bit they'd install. Does the simple answers calls bits which is what I want.

I have the dealer fitted basic bluetooth on my new Polo GTI - simply answers calls via the steering wheel, plus enables "BT Audio" as an AUX option with the RCD310 stereo... which is a real nice way for me to play tunes wirelessly with my iPhone.

Bluetooth for the Polo is not a factory option, it is a dealer fitted option only that costs $995 fully installed.

If you pay $995 you are paying too much. I paid $660. In the end it didn't do what I requested so I had it removed and refunded. Ended up getting the 9W7 system and fitted it myself. I couldn't be happier with how things turned out.
