Retro Fit Bluetooth???

tomo10 · 05-06-2008, 01:21 PM

Hi

Is it possible to retro fit the bluetooth phone connection and if so how much is it? My car was already built so there wasnt scope to add options.

Cheers

When I ordered my GTI in February I was told that they no longer fit bluetooth in the factory, it is now a dealer fit option. Could not have it fitted when I collected the car either as the kits were on back order. Having it done next week (I hope).

Oh good, how much is that if you dont mind me asking?

It is rudely expensive from the dealers, but there is a superb diy guide.

It costs about £230 irrc, but works best/ might only work if you have the highline computer display.

If still intersted, let me know and I will search out the guide for install.

£300 fitted. £220 for the kit if you fancy doing it yourself.

I have Highline so itb should work...before I go down the DIY route......does it envolve me taking the dash apart? If so I'll pay the stealer as I'm OK at digging holes but messing with parts of my car is a no no!

Yes, the dash has to come apart.

If it is MFA/ midline with the line across the middle, and the red LED car sign when a door is open, then no.

If it is MFA+/ highline, and shows the LCD outline of the car, and which door is open, then yes it should display as standard. Calling/ answering etc can then be controlled with the right stalk. Also if you upgrade to the latest RNS radios the info should display on there as well
