RCD510 fitted, now phone problems???

(1/3) > >>

Garth:
I have just fitted my new RCD510 (with lots of hasstle from VW!) and have some strange changes from the multi-function steering wheels buttons...

Before, I had an RCD500, a Parrot ck3000 evo and a multi-can interface to enable use of the steering wheel buttons with the parrot kit. This all worked perfectly and the steering wheel phone button was used to make a call (via voise dialling) witht eh volume buttons controlling the phone volume during a call.

Now with the new stereo, the phone button does nothing when pressed once (but still does redial if you hold it, as before) and during a call the volume buttons do nothing at all. The new RCD510 says nothing different when the phone is in use where the old RCD500 said 'Phone'.

This is very frustrating as I now need to dial numbers from the phone, which is obviously bad. Does anyone know if something can be done with vag-com to enable the new head unit to 'see' the phone kit and allow use of the buttons, or is it something that a new can gateway would sort out? Wiring changes?

Basically, please help!

If anyone can suggest a fix that works, I'll send them some free stuff  :grin:

Garth, I'm running exactly the same system as you WERE (except instead of the RCD500, I've got the MFD2). To be honest one of the reasons that I haven't upgraded myself to the RNS510, is that I didn't want to loose phone functionality that I currently have (and that like yours used to, currently works perfectly), and no one could absolutley tell me if the Parrot CK3000 EVO using the Can interface, would still work ?

I know that there is a proper solution for the RNS, a full Bluetooth kit that shows the phone book on the screen of the Navi and fully integrates with it. Trouble is, that's onother £300 on top of the cost of the RNS. :laugh:

You might want to PM Darren (user name mortygttdi), as he has installed a few of these including in his own car, along with the full bluetooth prep and voice activation. He might be able to give you some pointers as he's pretty sh1t hot on this sort of thing.

Garth:
Thanks mate, I might give Darren a shout. He's a good guy having already been round to sort me out with vag-com once before  :happy2:

Garth:
I've got hold of the pin-outs and it looks like the phone connections are on different pins. Looks like I might be able to sort this myself.....

The tel mute pin has changed on the 3rd gen head units so it looks like my head unit is not getting the mute command so the system is not giving away control of the steering wheel buttons to the parrot kit. I'll re-wire the tel mute tonight and see how that goes

mortygttdi:
I was just going to say something reg the pin out changing but you found it... :happy2:

Any probs mate you know where I am.

Darren
