I am having some difficulty getting to the bottom of something I thought was quite straightforward. I wanted to fit a premium bluetooth unit so I bought one off a popular auction website and (many scraped knuckles later) have now fitted it. The car from the factory had no bluetooth unit at all.

Now it is all connected and the head unit offers me the possibility of making emergency calls. So far so good, I guess . . .

Now then I understand the car needs recoding to recognize the unit but I say "I understand" rather loosely. I do not seem to be able to get a consistent answer about what I need to do next.

Dealers I have contacted are telling me the unit doesn't need coding and that they don't understand.

A large independent in Manchester gave me a quote but then said they didn't know how to do it . . .

I have the 5N0035730D Premium bluetooth kit, a 2010 vRS, a Bolero head-unit, and a multifunction steering wheel.

So my question is what exactly do I need to do to finish this installation off? Can anyone tell me what coding is required? If there is anybody in the Newbury or Oxford area who can do this and is looking for some beer money then so much the better.

I guess the fall-back position is that I buy the VCDS cable and puzzle it out for myself but I cannot really justify the expense and I would probably screw it, or possibly everything, up.

First you have to enable Telephone(77) in CAN Gateway(19)

In Telephone(77) start with the soft coding set to 0000422 and adapt the channels as follows...

128=0

129=6

130=2

131=130

132=0

133=1

134=0

135=Pairing code (choose a 4-digit number)

136=9

137=1

139=0

Thanks for that - be good though to understand if you have actually done this yourself or whether you are reporting what someone else has done?

I've done quite a few of them and neither the installation or the coding is that difficult. If bought from a Skoda dealer you may find that all you have to do is enable the Telephone module. However, many of the units sold on eBay do not have the correct coding/adaption and this maybe why some dealers are telling you that no coding is required.

Take a look at http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/74720-list-of-vag-com-diagnostic-system-vcds-owners/ to find someone to code it for you.

That is fabulous, really reassuring, thank you.

Good to know as someone asked me recently about coding in bluetooth to a 2007 Audi "RNS-E?" unit

Sorry I have 77 but how do you edit it in vcds sorry only just bought this

Hi all. Sorry to take up an old post but this one fitted the bill for me perfectly. I've got a pal with VCDS and after setting but 77 the bt magically appeared in my maxi dot. Got the music streaming too which is just great. Address book and everything spot on on the dash but the address book is blank on the bolero (last call etc all bring up names and numbers....) could this be the subsequent coding that's missing (we couldn't see quite what to do....)or an incompatibility with the bolero ?

5k008530f with. 2009 vrs bolero ....

So close but not quite there..... Any helpers ?

I think I recall reading there is an issue with older Bolero units and the phone book. It probably needs an update to the firmware on the Bolero, but the latter is not something I know much about sorry.

Yes, corrupted names in the phonebook when using  an original Blaupunkt Bolero - they are probably OK with certain early BT modules, but I suffered this issue.

 

I changed to a newer Bolero which fixed the phonebook issue - but quickly found that they suffer from a phantom traffic report issue so radio stations switch away every so often. Eventually changed to the RCD510-DAB and no more problems!
