#1 of 32 How can I get Bluetooth to work in my '06 Passat? by hiyngrl Apr 21, 2007 (4:08 pm)
I've heard that there is something out there that you can buy to turn on the Bluetooth feature in my 2006 Passat. Does anyone know where I can purpose this?

Quickconnect Products and Paser have products that work with the Parrot CK3000 bluetooth system. Only use the Main unit not the little controllerthat comes with it. Works perfectly with the Multi info display and the button. These units do require the Parrot CK3000 system. This kit even includes a no solder harness for easy installation. A plug in play install. Just search for Quick Connect Passat or Paser Bluetooth module. But yes you can activate that button.
#3 of 32 A new bluetooth unit by rv65 Mar 15, 2008 (6:22 pm)
Just found out that the Skoda Octavia unit works. This unit is a very nice unit from Europe. It fully integrates with the phone button, MFD, and a new navigation system called the RNS-510. The RNS-510 integration allows for touch screen dialing and 6 presets for emergency/common numbers. Also there is an RCD-510 that allows you to have a touch screen radio but no navi. That unit will also integrate with it. US RNS-510's are floating around but no maps. They will eventually come out but 09 model year will have it. Perhaps this bluetooth module will appear for the 09 Passat. VAG-COM programming will be required in order to make this work.
#4 of 32 Need Navigation System? by jaxs1 Apr 14, 2008 (7:52 pm)
Do you need to have the navigation system for integrated bluetooth kits to work? Are they cheap enough and easy enough to install to be worth installing in a leased car? Replies to this message: rv65 (Apr 15, 2008 5:59 pm) jaxs1 (Apr 15, 2008 6:06 pm) rv65 (Apr 19, 2008 11:46 pm)

Replying to: jaxs1 (Apr 14, 2008 7:52 pm) No not with the VW/Skoda kit. I have seen bluetooth kits that don't need a navigation system. The skoda/VW kit is the Basic module in Europe. Expensive but some what tricky to install due to wiring issues. Also requires programming. I have seen a european store selling it. The alternative kit is to get a Parrot CK3000 and use an adaptor by parrotkits.com/. That will give you the integration but no caller id. The Skoda kit has that feature. The skoda kit will remap the mute button so it can have voice dialing. Hope this helps. Replies to this message: jaxs1 (Apr 15, 2008 6:06 pm) rv65 (Apr 19, 2008 11:46 pm)

Replying to: rv65 (Apr 15, 2008 5:59 pm) Bizzare that VW doesn't just install the same European Skoda kit at the factory. Who wants to buy a car the price of a loaded Passat that doesn't have bluetooth?   So, what kind of prices to expect for either kit professionally installed?   If the Parrot is much, much cheaper, I suppose you could get some kind of phone mount (such as an air vent mount) and look at the phone's screen for caller ID.

Replying to: jaxs1 (Apr 15, 2008 6:06 pm) Still not sure on the Skoda kit having caller id. Apparently kufatec sells this with a wiring harness. It's expensive at 549.00 EUR. The Parrot will run around 300 for the kit. The parrot works if you just want bluetooth. There is a premium rSAP bluetooth which is also more. Kufatec only sells that for 839.00 EUR.   They could have had the Skoda module installed at the factory but VW decided not to pay for the royalties or decided not to. Startac makes the unit for VW. It's also used in Audis and European BMW's.
#8 of 32 USA bluetooth by rv65 May 07, 2008 (1:35 pm)
Bluetooth is finally coming to the USA market. This kit will be similar to the Skoda kit but maybe some changes. Perhaps it will be cheaper. The downside is that it will come out within 6 months. The new kit will integrate with the new RNS-510 touch screen navigation system. The RNS-510 integration is quite good. Touch screen dialing, contact list, answer/send calls with touch screen or phone button, voice dialing, bluetooth settings, Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP), hands free calling, and finally 6 phone number presets. 2009 models will get it but they will make a retrofit kit for older models. Hope this helps.
#9 of 32 Multi Info Display by rv65 Jun 07, 2008 (1:39 pm)
If you want to have MFD/MFI integration then you will need either the Skoda or the Nokia kit. The Skoda kit costs around $525 USD at http://www.octavia-vrs.com/. There is a link on how to install it but the Passat has some modifications. Also a copy of VCDS 805 aka VAG-com will be needed to program the skoda kit. The kit can be programmed at your local dealer. Perhpaps they could install it if you gave them the right directions.
#10 of 32 OEM bluetooth is coming by rv65 Jul 07, 2008 (7:42 pm)
A new USA spec OEM bluetooth is coming soon. Late July to Early August. Part number is 1K0 051 437. You can get it for less than 400 USD and takes about an hour or 2 at your local dealer. You need an installer who has VAS or VAG-com. VAS is the official VW programmer while VCDS aka VAG-com an unofficial way of programming your VW. The new kit supports the phone button and the MFI so if you have the MFI and the phone button then you can have OEM bluetooth. The unit works on other VW's as well. No Touareg or Beetle bug support.   This unit will be optional on the 2009 models but can be installed in 2006 and up models. 09's that don't have it can also get it.
