Whats with the removable bluetooth screen thingie?

[gavs]

It's more of an issue with the iPhone, it routes through whatever was most recently connected. So when you plug the iPhone into the MDI unit, it'll play through that for a few seconds. But then the BT unit connects to it and takes priority over the MDI. The headunit doesn't notice this happened and still uses the MDI which now has no sound.

Anywho it basically allows you to use the BT for calls and the MDI for charging/music. But it does disable the BT Audio function, which may be annoying if your friends want to play songs or whatever.

Not sure on the rcd 310 unit but on the rcd 510, if this is an issue, you can go into the setup menu>Media and uncheck the Bluetooth audio box. This should stop the changeover to bluetooth audio.

Has anyone seen a unit similar to the VW iphone dock but for other phones? I guess if all else fails I could just get the non-VW dock and do the coding, is that correct?

I have an RNS510 and it only allows you to disable automatic switching to BT Audio, but the BT unit still tells the iPhone it can stream through it. I'm pretty sure this would be the same for the RCD510, it can't tell the BT unit to stop A2DP only to ignore it.


Edit: JP_The_Grey, yes you'll need to recode it if you use a non-VW branded Bury unit.

You can search for Bury S9 cradle or Bury Series 9 cradle. A few Australian dealers around, and a few different phones.

Search for Bury Series 9 or Bury S9 cradle. A few Australian sellers out there, and a few different models on their website. There's also an online store.

Hi djwiso, it's almost like you've read my mind!
I'm about to pick up my car (77TSI w RCD510) and was wondering the same thing - I'm in the market for a new phone as well so this would help me figure it out as well.

Thanks!

Hi JP_The_grey,

The dealer was able to disable the touch screen adapter, and now my S3 is paired up with Bluetooth, phone book is loaded, and I can make/receive calls without MFD b*tching for the touch screen. It was free of charge too.

Cheers,

New VCDS is out and it lets you set how you like the Phonebook ordered. Either first or last name

Just ask them to disable the touch screen missing alert, easy to do with VCDS too. Then you can connect whatever phone you have over the BT
