Volkswagen Polo Model Year (MY12) 2012 Changes

Wow, that is the Bluetooth solution for all MY12.5 Polo's? Are they serious? Can it be removed?

That's a showstopper, right there.

Yeah I'll be getting a 9WZ unit asap. This is actually a re-branded Bury unit, depending on how it was installed (I'm assuming its actually fitted by the dealer or maybe even Patrick's instead of it being done at the factory), it should just be a case of taking out the radio unit, finding the box and removing it. I think I'll do a guide when I get my car

Gahh.. that looks weird.. I'll be picking my missus' 77TSI up this weekend and it's got the Bluetooth and MDI update. Will take some pics. Hopefully it's not that bad..

That is dealer fitted. You lose any functionality on the steeting wheel controls and MFD - Better to buy a 9w7 and get it fitted.

Technically you're not losing functionality, you're just not gaining it. Its a clunky one-size-fits-all solution due to the fact the Trendline and 77TSI don't have the RCD510 or MFD+ which, AFAIK, either is required for the 9W7 (or the better 9WZ) to function.

It's deceiving for VW to deliver cars with that thing on the dashboard. There's nothing on the VW site, in the brochure, or in any other documentation about this.

If my Polo was delivered like that, I just couldn't accept it.

what is the difference between the 9w7 and 9wZ ?

9WZ is basically the 9W7 with rSAP. If your phone supports it the car becomes the phone, giving you better reception and the ability to read sms's and even have them read out to you, I believe you can even send out pre-canned SMS replies. If your phone doesn't support rSAP (ie, the iPhone4) then it just operates the same as the 9W7, but you can still operate it all from the MFD+ screen or the RCD/RNS 510. I believe they're the same price on ebay so it's best to grab it instead.

That function only works with the RNS 510 unit, not even the RNS unit available in the 6R which comes with the RNS 310. I thought it would be awesome and was going to buy one, but then I spoke to a few people overseas and they said no dice with the RCD 510....

Just spoke to the dealer. You can have the Bluetooth module removed or not installed prior to delivery - just as well!
