Hiya Guys

Well today I tackled the fitting of my new Bluetooth kit (Thanks to Eddie-NL for the purchase)

I thought I would do a guide as there are some around but not for fitting to a mk5 golf.

So here we go....

First off a box full of parts



Then by moving the front seat forward there are some pre cut squares which need to be removed (dont you just love working on VW's!!)





Then opposite there is a large section which is also pre cut. No need to fully remove as the wiring loom is all that's needed to fit through here.



There are two black plastic inserts which fit into the holes which have no been exposed





Next job was to lift up the plastic trim which runs along the door so the the new loom can be run down the side, with the other looms.



Next job was to remove the plastic trim in the foot well where the boot release handle is. Took a few mins but realised there is a black plastic clip which needs to be pushed out to release the handle.



Once the handle is removed there is a small black plastic cap and screw which needs to be removed.



Once both removed the plastic trim can be removed





Now with the plastic trim removed the carpet and underlay can be lifted up exposing the other loom wires which are there



Now you need to start putting the new bluetooth loom in place, to make this easier i removed the large black plastic housing so that it was easier to slip underneath the carpet.



It quite a tight fit but it is possible to slide the loom underneath the carpet over to the large cut out where the Bluetooth unit will be fitted



Then the plastic housing was refitted



The loom was then fitted along  the floor and along the side of the car (plus a hoover of the carpet :happy2:)



The next step was then to remove the plastic trim on the side of the dashboard exposing the fuse board





The next job is to remove the trim on the A pillar, this does have a hidden screw underneath the "Airbag" badge which can be missed



Once that screw is removed the trim pulls off, there are 3 clips holding it in place



To make fitting the mic cable the vanity light and grab handles need to be removed









Then to get into the central overhead console the sunglasses holder needs to be removed



Then with that out of the way the grill can be removed



Which then exposes two screws which need to be removed



Once removed the main section can be removed



There is a piece of foam in place where the mic would be, which is simply pulled out.





Then the mic can be fitted



Also good chance to clean the plastic for the lights, mine was quite grubby and a few small dead flies in there!!



Now need to route the mic cable



Found the best way was to route it from the side of the car to where the vanity light would be



This can then be pulled down to follow the A pillar



Then from where the vanity light to where the central overhead console is, Didn't need any wire or something similar, as the cable is quite stiff can be pushed through on its own.



Now just need to connect the mic cable to the mic and refit the light unit







Then to cable tie the mic cable in place







Now need to get the bluetooth loom and mic cable to the RNS-510, so decided to do this by running it along the footwell, so unscrewed the cover and placed along the bottom. There is just enough clearance to get the end with the big plugs through and to the back of the RNS.



No to take out the RNS-510















With the RNS removed you can get your hand down the back to the two large plugs on the end of the bluetooth loom and pull it through



With this plug and play loom you just need to simply plug it into the existing plug and then the new plug on the bluetooth loom plugs into the RNS







Then need to put everything back together



Now need to attach the bluetooth antenna to the unit and fit it into place





Fit the cover over the top



Now its time to code the unit in via VCDS. All that needs to be done is to select Telephone in the Gateway section. (number 77)
Now there should be a new Telephone button which is now available, the codeing should be set, but in here you can change the pin code for the bluetooth, default is 1234. You can also tell the unit if you have MFSW etc.

Then turn on the unit and turn on bluetooth on your phone, my iPhone 4S only took 30 seconds to find the cars bluetooth and pair.

You now have full acces to your phonebook and missed calls and recieved calls. I was really surprised how much info there was and that it was all on the RNS  :happy2:

I did think there was an option to see your text messages on there too, but can't see anything?!!
