VW will be releasing a Bluetooth kit within the next 6 months. Will have full RNS-510 integration with touch screen dialing. This new kit will probably have the Bluetooth A2DP in addition to the usual hands free profiles. The A2DP profile allows you to stream music from your phone to the RNS-510 headhunit. The RNS-510 integration is quite good. Touch screen dialing, Contact list, settings, answer/recieve, and 6 different phone number presets. Hope this helps.

Replying to: feliciatwo (May 08, 2008 5:24 am) Do not expect a Tiguan less than $28,000. Think about an Outlander if you cannot afford a Tiguan 2.0L petrol. All just propaganda. |

On the VW site for the Tiguan its says: Fuel Requirement: Premium fuel recommended for maximum performance. Does this mean you can use regular, 87 Octain too? According to Consumer Reports, if it does not "require" premium, you can use regular 87 Octain. It would be much easier if VW just gave the minimum Octain requirement? Anyone have any better information?

Not an expert here, but before i bought my 07 Audi A3....i went through this exact same question-discussion here on the edmunds forums. Everyone has their own opinion. But i think the bottom line is this:if the manufacturer recommends premium. USE PREMIUM, if you dont, performance can suffer and Gas milage will be less....and opinions differ on if it'll harm the engine...lots of people use regular from what i read.....i went with premium with no regrets....the added cost isn't as great as you would think it would be. And i agree all manufacturers should design their engines to run on regular. |

| Coming out in October. Made by Nokia for VW. This system will be retrofittable so you can install it later. The new bluetooth kit should have all the bluetooth features including bluetooth audio. Also will integrate to the RNS-510 which is nice. The RNS-510 has some nice touch screen features which is cool. Touch screen dialing and 6 number presets. Could have used the European skoda kit which has a US english option. That doesn't have bluetooth audio but does have RNS-510 integration. This kit will finally utilize the mysterious phone button. | |
The pricing is crazy on this car. Why not buy an RDX or anX3 for the money that VW wants. This car needs to cost 5K less for it to sell. I'm very disappointed.

I just drove a Tiguan at a local dealer here in Valley Forge, PA. Seemed like a very nice small SUV, somewhere in between the pricing and luxury of an Acura RDX and a Toyota RAV4. The base price is only 23k. However the SEL version with leather seats, NAV and sunroof bumps you up to 36k. You can get the NAV system as a stand alone option on an SE model for 32k. This is pretty much exactly what I am looking for, but VW reliability scares me. We have a 2000 Passat that's basically falling apart at 50k miles.
