Adding Bluetooth to the Bolero

[Phildo]

Hello all,

I have a bolero in the octy without maxidot.

I'd like to know if its possible to add Bluetooth for music streaming purposes. Specifically for android phones??

If so which part would I need?

Many thanks

Phil

You need a 5k0 035 730 d or above or 7p6 035 730 j or above module plus a loom and mic. Check out ebay for modules and carsystems.pl for the loom.

Thank you much!

I have a Scout (07/57) with Maxidot (but I believe that it's the 'basic' versions?). Would a 7P6 035 730F module work? Thanks.

[adamal]

In a pre fl very few of the modules show in maxidot anyway (only the really old RSAP only ones). I suspect that this one will work in HFP mode and phone book display will be on the Bolero not maxidot.

[Britbusdriver]

Thanks. Not too worried as long as I can access the phone book from the Bolero. HFP? Hands Free Phone? Could I stream Bluetooth audio? Sorry for all the numpty questions...

[adamal]

HFP means Hands Free Protocol. Works with all phones but gives slightly limited (but still good) functionality, (and including streaming BT audio so yr ok there) when compared to a premium connection. But without the newer facelift maxidot you couldn't take advantage of the premium functions anyway.

Thanks Adam. Ask me one on flying - that I can do! Looks like it's worth a punt then.

[adamal]

Yes. Don't pay more than 70-80 quid though...

[Britbusdriver]

For just the unit, or the loom & mic as well? Just paid £100 for the lot.

[adamal]

That is very good. I meant just the module.

[Britbusdriver]

Great. Let's just hope it all works - and that I can fit it!

[Britbusdriver]

Update...

Is this just a plug & play unit? All the connections seem to have worked, and the Bolero now recognises that there is a phone option. What I can't figure is how to actually connect the phone. Any help greatly appreciated.

[adamal]

With these units you pair from the phone. Search for available devices and skoda-bt or vw-bt or similar should pop up. Choose that and away you go.

What a numpty...helps if you have the ignition on! And to think they trust me with airliners...Thanks again adamal
