Absolutely yes.

Is that a new system? It sounds/looks like one of those dealer fitted bluetooth system with the separate unit.

That's a bit strange considering most of standard bluetooth are all integrated together with the RCD310/510/RNS510.

It can be operated from the steering wheel controls if you have a comfortline or higher. Looks almost like a small GPS unit.

I think it'll be a different unit too, something like the 9W7/9WZ bluetooth unit. It'd take way too long to put that touch screen unit in on the assembly line, and I dont think dealers would be up for having to fit it to every polo.

I hate to say it but, the unit is the horrible seperate item I linked in the picture from my previous post. They will be shipped seperately to the car and the dealer will have to fit them. For those with steering wheel controls you will be able control it from there. For those with trendlines you have to touch the screen.

I would be tempted to install my own 9W7...

I just emailed my dealer asking if I can get a refund on my upgraded RCD510 and also if my car will be getting the Comfort package by standard. At last report mine was scheduled for build on Week 51... which is Christmas, but I imagine its been pushed back.

So.... my dealer rang me up today with some updates.

He can now confirmed that the bluetooth and MDI will be standard across the Polo range including my order. That said, the updates have pushed my missus' Polo, much, further back. The built date is now week 6 of 2012. Expected delivery around March or so. He said, it takes about 4 weeks to ship it to Melbourne.

Not sure if that's good or bad news.. I'm not too good with delayed gratification. LOL!

Should I cancel the order and look around (at other dealers)? Don't know if it's worth waiting another 3-4months (on top of the original Dec delivery date) just for the bluetooth/MDI. My missus don't reaaaallllyyyyy need the car immediately though..

What do you guys reckon?

Well, there is no point cancelling the order unless you want to compromise and just get whatever is in stock at some dealership.
That also means sacrificing negotiation power, as what is in stock IS IN DEMAND, and therefore the better dealers are usually on the factory orders.
