Post by: Top Cat on March 12, 2009, 06:29:21 pm: Vrstu fits all this type of stuff, and comes highly recommended, once your post count is up to 10, give him a PM and he will sort you out. :smiley:

Post by: duncan on March 12, 2009, 06:31:42 pm: will this invalidate my VW warranty?

that is my only concern - and what type of products / prices are available? im guessing it will work through my stereo, will my multi function steering wheel control the phone as well?

Post by: Hedge on March 12, 2009, 06:40:56 pm: MFSW will conbtrol certain aspects of the phone.

Stu is your man but due to the exchange rate for the Euro the cost may be a little prohibitive.

Post by: duncan on March 12, 2009, 06:43:42 pm: what is the unit that he provides / fits?
Title: Re: any reccomendations?
Post by: Hedge on March 12, 2009, 07:26:44 pm: It is an OEM VAG one which is available in Europe but not in the UK.
I'm sure he will be along at some point and add his thoughts. :smiley:

Post by: duncan on March 12, 2009, 07:58:43 pm: is it better to go for that than say a parrot bluetooth system of some sort?

would i need to get VW to fit it to retain the warranty or does it not matter?

would rather give some cash to someone on here than to VW

Post by: CocoPops on March 12, 2009, 08:02:08 pm: It's 10x better than the Parrot.
It doesn't change warranty... they are VAG parts.

Post by: duncan on March 12, 2009, 08:03:29 pm: sounds great!! any ideas on price (rough estimate)

Post by: animal on March 13, 2009, 12:15:29 pm: Have a poke around here (http://www.kufatec.de/shop/index.php/language/en).

Gives you an idea of what is available and price. I'd OE Bluetooth over something bolted to the dash any day of the week.

Post by: Phil Mcavity on March 13, 2009, 04:23:21 pm: If you have this combo, Highline dash, multifuntion wheel, and even better a Vw SatNav mfd2 or RNS510, then the kit works in conjuntion with the cars Multifuntion computer and even has voice recon and Contacts displayed. Cost be around Ã‚Â£300. Highly recommended.
Title: Re: any reccomendations?
Post by: Phil Mcavity on March 13, 2009, 04:26:18 pm: just seen you have only have the Midline computer nor Sat Nav. Best bet would be the Parrot setup.
