BlueTooth related questions (all BT questions go in this thread only)

The plug on the unit will be the same, so you should be able to do a straight swap of the black boxes (if it is indeed a 9W2 and not some parrot jobby). But you may need to do some VCDS coding on the new 9W7.

Alright, fantastic. I was concerned that I'd have to start pulling apart more than just the centre facia to run new wiring.

Much appreciated.

Hey guys, just a quick question, I am having issues with the bluetooth and im not sure if its normal (vw thinks it is...)

if i am listening to radio or a cd with my iphone bluetoothed to the car and a message/push notification/someone unlocks my phone, the head unit automatically switches to bluetooth music. How do I stop it as it drives me up the wall.

Cheers

I would try another VW dealer.

My iPhone is constantly connected via Bluetooth, if that happened every time my phone tried to make noise, I would have sold the car by now.

You need to disable BT autoplay.
Can't remember where it is in the menu, go to setup and then media I think...

Quick question to those who have retrofitted a 9w7 bluetooth kit (mated to RNS510).

Did you need to unplug the main connector behind the RNS510 to fit the bluetooth wiring?

If yes, did you need to re-enter the security code to activate the RNS510?

I have one arriving this week and will be installing it probably this weekend in my Tiguan if it does not need the security code . Otherwise I have to get the code first from VW service

Q1 - Yes

Q2 - No, if your RNS510 came with the car from factory. Yes, If it was from ebay, audiupgrades, dealer etc.

Thx!

Just clarifying Q2.. bought the Tiguan used fr a Skoda dealer and it already has the RNS510 & RVC. BUT, can't really tell if it was factory optioned or dealer fitted one.. it has a RCD510 manual too

The GPS antenna is on left corner the dashboard instead of a sharkfin one. It's a prefacelift MY2011 model. Perhaps someone with a prefacelift RNS510 optioned Tiguan can confirm if it should have a sharkfin one if from factory?

You only need the code if you connect the RNS510 into a different car. I've disconnected my one (from eBay) plenty of times, have also had battery disconnected a few times, I only needed the code the first time I retrofitted it.

The GPS antenna would never be on the dash if it was done at factory, that's for sure!
