Finally got my new Octavia and have installed the bluetooth kit I got from Stu (thanks Stu for a very comprehensive kit of parts and the fitting instructions).

Also got a Micro CAN lead when working in the US last week.

I have looked at the coding for Controller 19 and the Telephone Controller 77 and on my car it is byte 5 bit 2 this is different from the instructions which says byte 3 bit 7. Do I just go ahead and tick this bit ? See attached screen shots.

As this is the first time using VAG-COM I dont want to mess it up !

Any advice would be apreciated.

A couple of other points regarding the instalation which may assist others

1) If you have side curtain airbags the "A" pillar and "B" pillar trims can only be removed after removing a screw hidden under the "Airbag" signs, just lever these small plastic trims out with a screwdriver.

2) I found the main harness to the radio a little bit too short to route along the aluminium crash bar, so I took a more direct route.

Stu is your man for something like this, he'll be along shortly of that I'm sure

Some of the newer gateways have more than the 8bits type that was in the car when the original guide was written.

VAG-COM will have selected the correct label file for your controller and hence will be telling you to use the different bit/byte. Follow VAG-COM advice and you'll be fine.

Thanks for the info, it is all coded and working now that I got the radio code from the dealer, a process which took them about an hour.

The only thing I have not yet sorted out is the address book, it downloaded it ok but where I have multiple numbers under one name only one of the numbers is visible, the last one in the list on the phone, so it seems just to overwite the previous numbers.

Is this normal or just a quirk with my phone (an old Nokia 6310i) ?

According to the instruction book which came with the car "If several telephone numbers in the phonebook are under one name, all the telephone numbers with the same name are loaded separately."

Any ideas ?

I can't explain the numbers issue I'm afraid Keith. Do you have another phone you can try?
