Retrofit of Bluetooth & MDI kit to Passat R36

[Red Diablo]

Hi bts,

Good news on the install.

My R36 is December 08 build with a white MFD and the RNS510 is a B-Series.

I'm particularly interested on the installation process and I noticed on the Carsystems website that they provide "Step by Step Installation manual". How usefull was it?

Hi mate,

Installation overall wasn't hard and was pretty much just plug & play.

Install of the BT unit is supposed to be under the seat but not worth the trouble IMO as there's enough room behind the RNS which is where we opted to install mine (just remove the BT unit from the foam).

Most difficult part (if you can call it that) was ensuring there was enough clearance in behind the RNS once the BT and cables were installed (I had the cable from the MDI kit in there as well).

Can't say much about the installation manual as I never received one for the BT module lol Got one with the MDI kit which was used at the end for the VCDS coding.

Feel free to PM if you need more details .

One thing that is slightly annoying is the PTT button is set to mute and the phone button does nothing (even when receving or trying to end a call). Assume I need to recode the MFSW controis, as per the following coding on Ross-Tech:

VW Golf (1K) Steering Wheel - Ross-Tech Wiki

Any pointers on what needs to be changed?

VCDS coding is necessary:
