VW MY11 Bluetooth - VW 9ZB

[Zerosignal]

Ahh you are right it looks like it is the 9W7, wonder where the difference lies? if any.

Time for another thread though - cheers.

Yep, check the BT options thread stickied at the top...

FWIW, my money is on 9W7 being just the NA version of 9ZB or at least a functionally identical version for our market.

I asked the service foreman for the part number of the 9ZB, but he said it couldn't be ordered for after market installation, that the 'premium kit' was only available as a part of a factory build.

Pepe, I'll send you a PM re the VIN for your contact to look it up.

Oh, and more Googling has found this : http://www.volkswagen.no/media/count...__mai_2010.pdf

A spec list from VW Norway, that lists 9ZB as the "standard" bluetooth kit and 9ZU as the "premium". That was as of May.

Furthermore, this post http://askavwsalesguy.com/2009/10/25...-golf-and-gti/ shows 9ZU being ordered in Oct 2009.

So, more useless trivia for a Friday afternoon...

Okay, the 9ZB thing is solved (big thanks to Maltopia for his VIN so I could follow this up)

9ZB = 9W7

Using Maltopia's VIN, I had a VW parts guy look his car up on the system and confirm that the BT unit in the 9ZB code is 7P6 035 730B, which is the B version of the 9W7 kit. No idea why it's a different order code to 9W7 here, but it is the same thing. It has an integrated BT aerial, so is just a control unit.

VW Aus lists the price for the unit alone as $738.30 and doesn't have any in stock, in fact, they haven't ever had any. But, it is on their system now at least.

Does anyone know if the 9ZB/9W7 part can be integrated with an RCD310 as found in the new Polo's?

Just FYI I have had the new Kit installed in a 2007 Passat. It integrates perfectly with the RNS 510. Phonebook downloaded properly from iPhone 4 and voice dialing works with no issues. This does not work with the red MFD on the Passat, but I chose the kit due to it having no problems with iPhones (as opposed to the Skoda kit). Bluetooth audio also works perfectly and is as clear as using the MDI.

Wanting the 9zb/9w7 bluetooth unit .

3 is installation under seat or in dash ?
4 most sites say it is a plug and play, is it an easy install or specialist only/estimated fit time?
5 supplementary question can rvc be fitted with and rcd or only in rns

I recently fitted a 9W3 and RNS 510 in my car. If i can do, I'm sure you can. I mounted the unit in the dash under the radio (just behind the A/C controls.

There are instructions here on the installation. http://www.carsystems.pl/media/instr...oth%20v1.4.pdf

The trickiest bit is getting the microphone cable through the roof to where the overhead lights are.

I'll let someone else answer the RCD v RNS questions

I fitted the 9W7/9ZB to my passat wagon on the weekend, I wrote up some info here

My RNS510 already had voice activation setup, so I didn't have to do any coding for that, All I had to do was turn on the Telephone module in the can controller (19) in vagcom.
