Hi folks,

 

Okay I know there are already some posts on this subject but as things move on there are different ways of doing things and new kit out there.

 

So I  would like to retro-fit a Bluetooth module to my girlfriend's Yeti 1.2 TFSi (2012 year) which has the Bolero radio system with the autochanger.  I fitted a simple system ( Yatour YT-BTA unit ) to my Audi A4 RNS-E that allows me streaming from my phone and receive calls  - that unit won't do telephone calls via the steering wheel but I can change streamed music tracks and adjust volume from the steering wheel.  This unit was connected to the CD auto changer of course.

 

Her Yeti is one down from Elegance trim January 2012.

 

So is there a system around the £100 mark (she doesn't want  to spend much more) that I could fit that would allow Bluetooth connection and steering wheel controls.   I don't have a tool to do any car software changes and have never even done this so if possible I would prefer to avoid this -  not even sure what a tool would cost or what is recommended for amateurs.   Anyway I'm looking for a hidden away unit  -  The Skoda OEM Bluetooth unit is a bit troublesome to fit and too expensive.  The Fisken system is decent looking but too expensive for her and of course the car software needs modifying.

 

This was something I saw that looked interesting and 'possibly' could be a simple solution - any opinions?

Any recommendations or ideas that forum members have tried and found to work?

 

Thanks in advance,

That wiring harness you linked to is simply to connect a factory bluetooth module into the CAN system. It would still need coding in.

 

 

I have seen these before. £99.

They look like they work very similar to the FISCON units but at a much lower cost.

 

Anything you get that will allow answering with the steering wheel controls will need coding in with VCDS though.

Thanks for your reply.  

 

That's what I thought.  In the end then a VAGCOM unit needs to be connected and the correct codes entered so that it will activate the bluetooth on the system.  So are there any VAGCOM units that would work  - without spending large sums on high grade professional units that go beyond my simple need to recode to make the Bluetooth module work with the steering wheel controls.   I've seen some hand-held units with a display that are not expensive -  of course they are made in China.

You could always just buy a cheap clone VCDS 15.7 cable on Aliexpress for less than £20.

 

They should code a 2012 Yeti without any issues.
