RNS510 with Fiscon Kufatec Bluetooth but no working microphone

**luongie** · 08-06-2015, 06:51 AM

Hi,

Have had a Mk6 GTI for over a year now which came with Fiscon Kufatec Bluetooth unit installed. It was working fine the last year and all of a sudden it stopped working. The car has been sitting dormant for over a week and perhaps was low on battery but don't think that would have contributed to this.

Anyone know who could have a look to get this fixed (Sydney based) or thoughts on how to address this issue?

Cheers

Can you find the control module. If so dsconnect it and reconnect. See if it works then mate.

^^^this.

Try and start your search by looking under the driver's seat. After that, try passenger's seat, and finally.....if not there, it'll be 'hidden' behind the dash/Head Unit.

Nothing under drivers or passenger. will have to suck up the courage to take out the head unit, nail biting for a noob like me!

Nothing to it, mate — a 5 minute job.

With small screwdriver or other suitable device, prise out the RNS510 surround — it’s all on clips — and remove the 4 Torx 20 screws holding the head unit, which will now slide out far enough to allow hand access.

There's plenty of slack on the wiring to let you work behind the unit.

Awesome. Will give it a crack first, was fearing once taken out there would be other issues. Thanks everyone for your help!

old credit card etc is also handy to remove the trim surrounding the head unit

Ok. Thanks for all the advice. It's worked! Used an old plastic trimming tool I had from an old car seat cover set to pry open the cover and low and behold the Bluetooth unit was hidden behind the head unit. Disconnected the plug and reconnected again to the Bluetooth control unit . Then just had to pair the phone again and it works! Very please with myself and thankful for the help. Cheers!
