Title: RNS-315, what's needed?
Post by: Bigjimknickers on November 19, 2015, 05:21:48 pm
Looking into an rns 315 for my golf, it currently has no bluetooth, no gps, no mic.
So my question is, the 315 has integrated BT am I right? So I'll need a gps aerial & a mic to install one on an 2006 GTI?
When I search for the 315 mic it comes up with a BT mic so now I'm getting confused as to what I need for a total install!

Also, is a 315 a good way to go? I want an OE looking radio, with sat nav & a good BT setup for hands free calls/music streaming.
I'm not convinced by the android systems, I think they would irritate me as I'm an apple fanboi!

There is different version of 315, not all has BT integrated. I could supply you RNS315 with BT and DAB aswell.

How difficult is it to tie the mic? Is it an OE one which goes overhead?

ok so i have fitted the unit and all works great apart from i cant access the radio via vcds.
i have tryed controllers radio and navigation but vcds wont talk to either of them.
is there something else i have to do?
i want to access it to change from cd changer to aux in and check it has rearview camera input option available
i could access the old radio fine
thanks stu
