Any ideas anyone??
The RNS-510 is HW03 1T0 035 680 B
running sw v. 2660

The Kufatec kit doesn't work with 2660. I think they were coming out with a firmware upgrade that you could apply to fix this but I don't know if it's out yet.

Good luck with getting it sorted, I've been there before with Kufatec and got jack of it after over six months of hair pulling.

Gyaaaaaa...thanks Mav.
Although i just found this "Voice dialling in combination with RNS-510 firmware from 2660 and our add-on product. "
FISCON Bluetooth Handsfree
Hmmm I'm assuming they have the add-on product installed.

My cable arrived.. I have arranged for it to be fitted next week... It came with a length of cable allready connected. The cable came with 2 pin connectors on it. Is there any cutting of wires involved or will they just plug straight on?

The mic is being installed tomorrow... How does it work, There is nothing about voice control in my manual. I could not find any settings in the RNS510.
How do you program it and what can you get it to do...

Well, the bloke arrived and removed the overhead console.. Surprise, surprise, There is allready a mic installed and he checked the back of the rns510 and the wires are plugged in... So what now, How to get it working?

Hi ugg327
Did you read all the posts above??
As Mav has said- you will need to upgrade your firmware to one of the later variants. If yours RNS510 is unchanged from 2008 it will not support voice control.
Kufatec kit is incompatible with 2660 firmware so you have to choose to either Upgrade and loose your bluetooth kit or not upgrade and do without voice control.
Why dont you hassle Kufatec and if enough people do it it may speed a software update for the kufatec kit that may be compatible.

The add on product is just the OEM microphone and cable for those who dont have it installed already.

As Maverick says, the Kufatec mic won't work for voice control of the RNS510, but what you can do is have a VW mic fitted (they're cheap off eBay) as well as the Kufatec mic - wire the VW mic to the RNS510, leave the Kufatec alone, and then you can voice control the RNS510 including "Phone home..." style commands. Once the call is active, the Kufatec mic will kick in and all will be good...

The way I read it, The firmware has to be upgraded in the rns510... But then again why was the mic allready installed and connected..
