Will a 729E work with maxidot Stu?
Norbreck21a:
Guys, following the thread above, if I got the 729E unit for use with my "B" Rev RNS and Iphone 3GS 4.01, would the fact that I do have highline screw it up. I'm not too bothered in it displaying on the highline screen, but will it cause other issues ?
Will I still be able to use the other highline functions (Audio, Nav etc.) ? Will the MFSW phone buttons control the RNS and switch the screen to the phone screen, or would that be a purely manual operation (i.e pressing the button on the RNS) ?
Cheers
Andrew

Only white ones. i.e. Mk6 Golf and facelift Octy.

No I used a 729E in mine for a while and it has been used in another MK5 Golf successfully with no problems.

Andrew, my MFSW buttons don't control the start/finish calls. The * button mutes, the volume buttons work with RNS or call volume, but the phone button does nothing. This is most likely because my buttons were a retrofit, not from factory, as was the 729E.
However, the touch screen and unit buttons on RNS510 are so easy to use with the phone interface. You'll be using them to select names/numbers drom your phone's memory, so it really isn't any hardship to tap the green phone on the screen to go, red to end. I can control volume from the wheel, I just can't start or end a call from there. Which doesn't faze me at all.

Ahh, cheers buddy for the info. Strange that the phone button doesn't do anything. I guess from yuor description you have the later style buttons (with the Star button and Menu button) ?. I have the older style with the 2 phone buttons on the left. One to initiate a call and one to end. I currently use this with a parrot CK3000 Evolution installed into the car, using a CAN harness to integrate with the steering wheel buttons, and it works fine, but as far as the RNS is aware, it just mutes during a call and routes the call through the speakers and that's all. No contacts, or "PHONE" appears on the screen.
It actually works quite well, but I was getting a little tired of the Iphones built in Voice dialling which can be a bit hit and miss, and so was considering the genuine article so to speak.
