Bluetooth announcing calls and other notifications
​

I've read all 14 pages of this thread, and I'm curious about the above issue. Did anyone ever respond to PeteC's post way back on 21-05-2013?

I don't think anybody responded, but I can recall an answer in another forum, which said that SMS notification sound comes through differently than ringing, it comes on the same way as the music for example. So the only way to hear the SMS sound is when I set the unit to Media and click on the Bluetooth icon or actually listening music on my iPhone through the BT unit.
If I am listening to Radio or CD, I will not hear the SMS sound.

Also that's why I cannot hear the sound of videos for example in Facebook or Youtube, while my phone is connected to the BT unit, but I am listening to Radio. I have to change the source of the sound to Media and Bluetooth to be able to hear it. Do not use Facebook or Youtube while you are driving!

Whoops, I just saw this thread, here is my original question

Hi guys,
Extremely new to all this, I think I have it figured out but I am looking for confirmation...

I have (very) recently bought a 2010 Passat wagon with a Voice Control enabled RNS510 with Sat Nav. I installed the Kufatec Basic Plus unit yesterday and have mixed results. I had to install the Kufatec mic as well, is this normal? I would prefer just the one mic but I can live with that. My main issue is I do not have the Kufatec menu on the MFD... This means I can't set alot of things up. I have no skip control on my AD2P streaming (iPhone 6), I get a little pop noise as I take the key from the ignition & Siri and the VW Voice control seem to race each other at times. On the plus side, I have full phonebook and call list access, and streaming does work with excellent quality. The phone button on the steering wheel does nothing, the voice control button fires the Starter's Pistol for Siri and VW voice control.

Now, I have done no programming. Would the appropriate VCDS programming sort out these issues or do I not require further programming as I have the unit semi-functional & maybe I have missed a step? I have played around with the various activation codes in the Kufatec manual which seem to break it to varying degrees. I think my main goal must be the MFD menu. Thoughts?

Probably need to add it as a device in the canbus gateway installation list. This is the case with OEM and other OEM-like aftermarket units I have seen. Can't speak for the kufatec unit specifically as I've not used one.

Ok, thanks for the advice. Will one of the cheaper interfaces on eBay suffice for this?

[kamold]

Possibly. I would never rely on them however as they are notoriously fragile.

I've installed a 9w7 BT into a rcd510 for my 08 golf mkv. BT is working, however a2dp music streaming is not working. Do I need to activate it with vcds or is there something else I need to do?

[kamold]

It can be deactivated with vcds however that's not the default setting. Can you expand on 'not working'? What phone, what are the symptoms?

BT audio option on rcd greyed out. IPhone 5s. Play music on phone but not detected on head unit.

Just wondering if anyone here as a working and functioning Kufatec Fiscon Basic+ unit and could help me out with some info and settings? It's in 201 R36 with RNS510 and while it works, it's bloody frustrating at times and seems old and slow. Just keen to know if anyone has one... thanks

Hi guys,

I've gone through this whole thread,and haven't found anything specific to what I'd like to do,so I'll post it here and see if anyone is able/kind enough to fill me in:

I have a 2010 mk6 103TDI Highline Golf wagon and want to add bluetooth,the same as my wife's 2014 103TDI Tiguan.
The Golf runs a white MFD,RCD310 & multi function steering wheel (same as the Tig), and has a booklet on various bluetooth units in with the service/owner's manuals,but no bluetooth unit appears to be in the car,and I didn't find one when we last plugged VCDS into it.
A mate is stripping a 6J Fabia RS and has offered me the bluetooth kit out of that car. Is this unit likely to be plug and quick VCDS coding affair or a lot more involved?
If anyone can offer a walk-through (and/or tips for VCDS coding) it'd be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Justin...
