Bluetooth Installation on VW Golf GT Sport

[Hiken]

Hi guys,

Looking to upgrade my car bluetooth and stereo to an RCD510. As my car is Jan 08 I think the CAN bus won't be an issue. I've read a lot of articles on bluetooth modules and bluetooth compatibility for MKV Golfs, however I still cannot find an answer.

I've purchased the Genuine Version B 9w7 Bluetooth Module from Ebay ($120 not sure if steal or not, the others were bluetooth kits at $360). From what I understand I'll be able to control my phone from the RCD510 but not from the steering wheel buttons.

I already have a bluetooth system in my car (Don't ask which one, all I know is there's a microphone behind the steering wheel on the cluster). I have a series of questions, and would love some clarification

- Do I need any other cables/harnesses to install this module?
- Do I need any VCDS coding? I've read somewhere that if the CAN Bus is coded the steering wheel buttons can work as well (Red MFD), is this true/false
- Do I need a Bosch or Delphi RCD-510 (I've read somewhere only Bosch works with 9w7)?

Thank you

Red mfd does not work with BT kits. You should have got a plug and play harness abd mic with the BT kit? Yes you still need vcds coding to function and yes delphi do not work with 9w7 so you need a bosch unit.

I only got the module as my car already has a BT kit (mic and harness should be same yes) but I think it's the Volk-L (constantly on when the radio is on)
Okay, so I won't be able to code it into the MFD unless I code the CAN Gateway yes?

Mk5 golfs with red mfd never came with factory bt. It might be a nokia retro fit kit thats in the car as yes they are the same plug and does work as i replaced my 08 jetta nokia kit with a 9w7 control unit and works fine but the dont interact with red mfd you have to use the radio touch screen. There is a until that will make a 9w7 work with red mfd added to the bt kit but cant remember what its called..think they are about $150

My old Mk5 had a dealer installed Kufutec FISCON bluetooth system. Could that have been the old unit installed?

[vdubmotorworx]

Yes either that or nokia. Either one you should be able to use the wiring in the car

How do I activate Phone and Star Buttons on my mk5 Golf? (RNS and 9W7 installed) --> According to this it's the CAN bus.

Anyway, now I know I need a Bosch RCD510 and someone to code the BT for me ! Thank you
