Replying to: rv65 (May 13, 2008 6:13 pm) "The audi version makes more power" -- False. Within the VW/Audi sable of cars, all transverse engined models (Tiguan, Passat, Jetta, Golf, A3, and TT) get the 200 HP version, however, all longitudinal models (A4, A5...) get the "Valvelift" version that puts out 210 HP and ~250 lb-ft of torque. "They are secretly using them in certain cars" -- I'm not sure how secret it is, the Jetta, A3, TT, and Tiguan are all showing up with the new non-Valvelift version of the mill. "The specs are the same as the current 2.0T so who knows." -- Yes, the output specs are the same, however, my understanding is that the new mill makes that power using less fuel and creating MUCH less pollution in the process.

Bluetooth will be standard on all 09 models. The kit is made by Nokia and should even have RNS-510 integration. No need to have the RNS-510 in order to have bluetooth. It will be retrofittable in 06-08 models. All models will have it except the Beetle bug and the Touareg. Startac also has one but thats for the European market.

Replying to: rv65 (May 18, 2008 11:56 pm)  BTW, I don't have the nav unit, just the regular stereo (this one). I assume it will still work with that unit? I assume talking on the 'car phone' via bluetooth requires both a mic and speakers. Speakers I got. But where is the 'mic' in the car?

| The new RNS-510 can now integrate with climatronic. Requires a new climatronic module. VW will update the climatronic units to work with it. It sends CAN-BUS signals into the unit and therefore displays the information. I know it's a CC but it can be retrofitted. Or you can just retrofit the 09 Climatronic. Just another cool feature. | |

| It's avaliable now but only in Europe. The basic Skoda kit does work with the Passat. This kit is available but pricey. Need to get some wiring and connectors. About 525 USD shipped from Octavia-vrs.com and you have to contact them to get it. Also programming by VCDS aka VAG-com is needed. The microphone goes in the overhead console. The piece with holes. This kit also integrates with the RNS-510 navigation system and has a garmin like touch screen menu with dial pad. Hope this helps. | |
