Title: Bluetooth options
Post by: liveround on December 12, 2009, 08:14:15 pm: Hi Folks

New mk5 GTI owner :happy2: so excuse the newbe questions. Got a mint silver GTI, unforunately pretty basic, only options are 18" monza 2's, highline computer? and centre arm rest ?
How do I tell if it is a highline computer? and was centre armrest std?

I need to fit a bluetooth kit and trawling the forums the options appear to be;

1. Parrot CK3100
2. OEM blutooth kit
3. Fiscon

I don't have a multifunction wheel, and want caller display, phone book dialing and voice dialing. Whats the best option and approx prices?

The OEM unit is a nice install and interfaces with the car well. You don't have any obvious attachements on the dash etc as it's all controlled on the Highline and or RNS510. It is expensive compared to other options though.

As long as your phone has the option of voice dialling it will work fine. I also tend to leave my bluetooth switched on permanently on my phone as if you switch it on after you switch the ignition on it can confuse the Parrot.

Does anyone have any pics :confused:

Yes it can be driven from the right stalk or a MFSW if fitted.
