Does anyone know if the new Bluettoth module 9W7 can be installed in the Octavia? Have read about it and it appears to be plug and play and give compatibility with the iPhone. Sounds too good to be true!

I'd be interested to know the answer to this as well :thumbup:

Anybody?

Yes I've fitted them to Octavias no problem.

Cheers - I've sent a message vis your web-site enquiring about this (along with a few other bits) so I look forward to your reply :thumbup:

I'd be interested to know what's involved in fitting one of these to a vRS which did not have the OEM bluetooth mobule fitted as standard - what wiring pre exists etc?

Same here. SUK seem to think the dealers know all about it and keep referring me to them. They know nothing about it.

I would be interested to know this too...

Shark Performance - can you supply these units?

The description looks right, but the proof is in the pudding as it were.

So, who's gonna be first? ;)

Not me :giggle:

Waiting on my reply from Ben @ Shark first!!

Mic wont be there unless you have factory fitted phone kit or voice control for Columbus. (well, there wasnt one in my VRS anyways!)

That Ebay kit looks good to me, price looks good as well, Interested to see how it compares to the Shark price - post that up when you get a reply......

Will do :thumbup:

As far as I know, no, unless you already have the GSM module installed.

I think there's 2 threads on the go here.

1. Changing the GSM III module for the new GSM III+ to use non-rSAP handset such as the iPhone.

2. Installing the whole phone kit from scratch.

1. is easy - unclip, unplug, maybe unscrew then replace with new unit.

2. Is a little harder - from what I can tell the bluetooth unit can probably be secured or wedged behind the headunit so there's no need to route cabling through to the OEM installation location. But the microphone is a little more work - the headlining potentially needs to be loosened and the A pillar cover either removed or the cable tucked into it.

I'm happy doing 2 but really only if there is a visual diagram which shows all the steps!

I'm not sure it is that simple. SUK don't seem to know themselves, or if they do, are keeping it really quiet.

Thanks for that. Certainly an option to look at. Now to find somewhere that sells it at a reasonable price.

If you find anywhere please let me know ;)

So far, it appears to be ebay only. Might take a trip to the dealer and lean on the desk for a while.

Swapping the previous yen unit looks nice and easy but is there any if the wiring pre-installed in the octavia if you don't have factory Bluetooth?

Anyone care to go out to their cars and have a look under the seats?? (my car isn't here yet!)

It appears not - I took a good look around while vacuuming the car out this evening.

I need to take a torch to the microphone slot to see about that - my biggest fear is that the headlining has to come off. I've never done that - the dash looks simple enough - very similar to the smart when I fitted a Parrot to that.

fitting the microphone is quite easy with the hardest part being getting the cable into the dash below the A pillar. Have a look at stus guide here - vrstu bluetooth guide

ive fitted and removed the full bluetooth kit on two octavias now and it gets easier every time :)

(Theres no pre-wiring by the way unless you have BT fitted from the factory) You should have a foam insert in the hole where the mic goes.
