Whats with the removable bluetooth screen thingie?

If you're worried about Smash and grab, please note that the touch adapter can be removed from it's base.

You can even put any phone-specific bury unit in there too if you wanted wired communication and charging.

I know, but its annoying

Im SO glad i have the RCD510 unit to control the bluetooth. Controlling it with the bluetooth touch screen is not practical or safe at all. You need to take both eyes completely off the road, no speed dials, and navigating takes a fair few button pushes, and i need to lean forward to reach it (i am pretty short though), would have been much better if mounted closer to the steering wheel.
Im yet to see how good the voice activation is, its still 'learning' my voice, and i dont even have an aussie accent really!
I think this one was a fail on VW's part, great that they are including bluetooth as standard - but not keen on the design and functionality.

Incidentally does anyone know if the message reading function is available in australia? I cant get it to work - is this a europe only feature?
