Have now had my Occy vRS for a year now from new and the one thing that I wish I'd ordered was the hands free/bluetooth factory fitted phone kit. I think that I can retrofit it after following a few threads, but I remain a little confused! So a couple of questions:

1. Is it definitely the 7P6 035 730C kit that I need? My local dealer was particularly useless with help on this!
   
2. Does the kit provide all the bits I need and is it simply plug and play? I've seen some posts where some programming is needed.
   
3. Where's the best place to buy the kit? I've seen it on e-bay for about £229.
   
4. Where does it fit in the car?
   

Now, it might seem that I'm a little slow after you've read this, but I want to make sure that I'm NOT wasting my money before I spend.

Thanks,

Phil.

You might want to consider an aftermarket head unit that has Bluetooth instead. You'll have the bonus of better sound, and it can cost less.

I'm in the same situation as the OP. Can you suggest such a unit? There appears quite a choice??

Can only answer No4. Its sits under the drivers seat and has a plastic cover that can be slid off.

I've found it to be a great bit of kit, it connects seamlessly to my phone as soon (Nokia 5800) as I get into the car. With iis own transmitter and external aerial the reception is brilliant. The phone connects using RSAP

I have a fiscon - its very good, completely invisible and works just like its OE (ie via the "phone" button and touch screen on the bolero and via maxidot also if you want).

Richter sounds in MK fitted mine in about 20 minutes.

Hi, i had one of these fitted by Ben at Shark Performance up in Mansfield yesterday. You definably need the vag/vas coding software to get it to integrate with the maxidot. Ben charges £399.00 fitted inc vat. Very neat job completely hidden no mess etc. Thoroughly recommend Ben top guy.

I'm in the same situation as the OP. Can you suggest such a unit? There appears quite a choice??

I'm using an Alpine CDE-103BT. It works well & is available at a good price: the phone part is by Parrot so designed by people experienced in Bluetooth. It also has line-in, USB and an optional iPod cable if you are Apple inclined.

parrot CK3100, both our cars have them

The Fiscon internals are Parrot, but tailored to integrate with the Bolero, Maxidot and MFSW...there is a guide somewhere on here to self-installing, but I'd save the angst and your knuckles and get it professionally done if possible!

I have the Bury CC9060, Bluetooth, Multiphone (at the same time which is handy if you have both personall and work phone), music stream etc etc

Cost me around £180 fitted

1. See this post re the kit require (the thread contains some usefuly info too) http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/188112-new-bluetooth-rsap-module/page__view__findpost__p__2275688
   
2. If you buy the kits off ebay like this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-PREMIUM-Bluetooth-KIT-RCD-mfd3-RNS-3C8035730A-A2DP-/200496242393?pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item2eae81ded9 it appears to be plug and play - if you buy from a dealer, i suspect you'd only get a box, and have to make up the wiring yourself
   
3. Yep, I'd agreed that the ebay route appears to be the cheapest
   
4. Under the drivers seat, but there's someone in here who fitted it in the dash to avoid running the wiring under the seat
   

I'll caveat the above with the comment that I too am in the same position as you - looking for hard information as to what to buy, before buying it.

Go on, you go first.....

Just be aware that this ebay listing is for the PREMIUM kit, (part number starting 3C0) and won't work in pre-facelift cars. I spoke to Ben at Shark about this, as I had originally ordered one of these units from this seller.

This Premiun kit only works for rSAP phones, whereas the 7P6 works with any bluetooth phone in the earlier cars.

Mike,

I'm confused (again) - the ebay listing says this will work with non rsap (using UHV) - or is that a difference between facelift and pre-facelift?

I've bought and install this kit 9W7, but I think you can also use the 9WZ. There seem to be lots of different bluetooth units but I think these are the two newest ones that do Bluetooth 2.0 and RSAP.
