I can confirm that the Toyota Corolla Bluetooth is absolute rubbish. I currently own the current shape corolla, and the head unit is rubbish.
To sum the toyota unit up:
6 Stacker in Dash which is great! plays MP3's and the lot, great in that regard
Sound Quality from the head unit is okay, not crap though.
Bluetooth is RUBBISH! the mic for the unit is on the face of the head unit! WAY WAY WAY away from your mouth. So the people that are talking to you, can bearly hear you!!! all they hear is road roar!
You cannot change the sensitivity of the mic eaither!
I ended up getting a full touch screen GPS unit installed that worked with the steering wheel controls and a dedicated mic, and it is a HUGE MASSIVE improvement with absolutely everything. Including the sound quality that now gets sent to the speakers! for a 25K car, the sound quality is actually pretty damn good. And if you play the right song, the bass is not to shabby eaither. Considering price and all.
Its amaizng what a good quality headunit will do in a car.
But back onto this.
I agree 100% that VW have way way too many options for Bluetooth, and more then half of them are absolutely rubbish.
They should really only offer 2 (cheapy one, which will do the basics of hang up and calling) and the Skoda kit.
Im hoping that the iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 are able to sync contacts to the unit or ill be pissed!!!
