Blue tooth and Iphone 5 issues.

[Morgan]

Ive just got myself a 2010 Octavia VRS with the Columbus head unit.
When I tried to sync my Iphone 5 nothing happened.
I tap the Phone button on the head unit and it either pauses or/and mutes what ever is being used at the time.
Same with the Phone button on the Steering wheel.

Im currently assuming that I simply dont have bluetooth fitted.

Any tips or hints would be a real help.

Your assumption is correct. It's an easy retrofit however.

Any brand in particular?

[kamold]

Oem is the only choice I can recommend. All others have shortcomings. Where are you located?

SYD eastern suburbs. I keep seeing Fiscon being recommended. Does the OEM provide full function?

[kamold]

I don't know anyone with a Fiscon who is happy with it. OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. It means same as factory.
Pm me if you want some help sorting it out.

I thought bluetooth was standard in the vRS/columbus? Is that not the case?

[kamold]

Nope. Mine came with an aftermarket install from dealer.

I believe it became standard from MY12.5 onwards or so........

^ same with Golf R/GTI. Before MY12.5 it was a $500 option (i optioned it on my MY11.5 Golf R)
