How do I activate Phone and Star Buttons on my mk5 Golf? (RNS and 9W7 installed)

[DaveLinger]

To clarify, coding the CAN gateway for phone is what adds the phone menu to the MFD, and coding the steering wheel controller for push to talk is what makes the star and phone buttons talk to the phone controller instead of the radio. So if you want to use a bluetooth module but still want the star button to mute your radio, you can choose to code only the CAN gateway.

Can anybody confirm this actually works? I have a 9W7 kit but I haven't installed it yet

The BT mic also needs to be plugged into the 'mic in' on the RNS, then from the RNS 'mic out' this needs to be cabled to the mic pins in the 9W7 module.
If you got a decent kit, there should be a removable connector on the 9w7 wiring harness that allows you to choose between having the mic wired to the BT unit directly, or piggy-backed via the head unit.

I don't have the wiring harness I just bought the module I thought the harness that's used for the bt kit I have in the car now would work with the 9W7 but looks like not..

You can either buy a harness or modify your own to add the connections to the Mic in/out pins.

So with an rns510 and red MFD will there be any phone functionality on the MFD? Or is a white MFD required to utilize the 9w7?

I'm trying to confirm that the 9w7 would be worth the extra money over the 9w2.

Do you have a full height or half height mfd? If half then no phone functions on mfd just on the rns.

Full height. 08 r36 so it sounds like it would be worth getting the 9w7. Thanks

You will also need a fis converter. Check carsystems.eu they have the complete kit.
