Bluetooth kit is now available by rv65

1K0 051 437 is now available. Not in stock yet but you can order it now. Now you can finally add bluetooth to an 06-09 Passat.
 
Edit: This kit does offer A2DP but works like a Parrot kit that's OEM. It doesn't have any MFI integration. If you want MFI/MFD integration than get the latest Skoda kit. The Skoda kit has no A2DP though.

What a disappointment . This kit has no MFI/MFD integration. No RNS-510 touch screen integration. Skoda kit is better but no A2DP and more expensive.

I just don't get it...what is VW's dysfunction, that they can't understand the utility of full BT integration for their US customers.
 
My dealer is telling me that he's had customers complain about the Skoda version of the BT interface, so I had high hopes that VW was going to "right a wrong" with this newly released accessory. But if there is no MFI/multi function display interface for caller ID, phone book, etc. then what is the point of a "new" accessory?
 
Seems retarded to me.

Really the Skoda kit is the best you can do for now. The Only other fully integrated kit is the Premium rSAP kit. That kit is very expensive and only a few phones can use it. It supposedly has HFP but I haven't confirmed that. The Premium kit takes over a phones SIM card if it's compatible with rSAP. The Premium kit is a fully featured cellphone. It works on the European GSM frequencies so it's useless for the states. Requires an incar GSM antenna. Has text messaging, RNS-510 touch screen integration, Voice commands, you name it it has it. There are some more bluetooth profiles that the Premium kit has. If it did work in the states it would only work on T-Mobile and Cingular.
 
It would be nice if it had the Multi Function display integration. The skoda kit is the only one other than the Premium kit that has it. VW was using a Motorola kit as an interim solution until the Nokia/Novero Volk-L kit would come out. Some people are happy using Parrot kits while the Skoda kit seems to be the number 1 kit for now.
 
Hope this helps.

One good advantage of the Volk-L system is that it doesn't use the mute button for voice dialing.
 
However this kit may just be an interim solution. An even better more featured kit may be in the works. In Germany there are 3 modules for bluetooth. Plain which is like the Volk-L but without bluetooth audio. Basic is like the Skoda kit and finally premium which the fully featured rSAP kit. The USA RNS-510 works very well with the Skoda kit and VW might just release a new kit that has A2DP and fully works with the MFI/MFD. Also this kit should have RNS-510 integration. It's sort of like the VW iPod adaptor. It was terrible until a new adaptor was introduced with the RNS-510 called the MDI. The MDI only works on the RNS-510 in the USA for now. Until this Premium 8 radio is introduced. Premium 8 is likely the RCD-510 which is a touch screen cd changer without the nav system.

All we know is that VW also offered a motorola kit which is also an interim solution. I'm sure VW will release a new kit that is superior to VolK-L in every single way.

Bluetooth function on VW Passat 2008 "Komfort" by tudorel
Nov 11, 2008 (3:42 pm)

When I bought the car, I thought the bluetooth function is available / enabled (included in the basic / original package) - particularly after seeing the "Phone" button available on the steering wheel...Now, after wasting one hour looking for info in the car's book and another 30 minutes searching for a bluetooth enable option in the car's MFD (multi functional display), I think I was wrong. Please help me a bit here: is the bluetooth an option at this point in time?
Regards,
Ted

There is a bluetooth kit that integrates with the MFD. It's about $525 to $550 shipped from europe. It does require a laptop with VCDS and a USB dongle to program it. You do lose the mute button for voice dialing but everything is fully integrated. Even your contact list. There is a cheaper kit but thats akin to a bluetooth headset that is integrated within the car. This kit that I'm talking about is made by Skoda. It's a Harman kit that uses a very good star[rec] voice recognition system. Part number is 1Z0 035 729 though the B version works as well too. You can get one at http://www.octavia-vrs.com/ and email them about it. There is a section on the bluetooth kit. Skoda is owned by VW so it works fine.

Is this the system that the dealer uses? They quoted me $650 installed - is that about right? The dealer also referred to the system as Volk-L. I am trying to get this installed for my husband for christmas and want to make sure I buy the right system. Is Volk-L what I want installed in my 2009 passat?

The skoda kit is a Europe only kit. It's a factory part number. People have retrofitted it. The part is rather expensive from Europe. It does work with a passat though. About $550 just for the kit. Volk-L is the just the basic kit. It has no integration at all with the MFD. It doesn't remap the mute button as a voice button. The skoda kit isn't really designed with the 1 phone button but it does work with the mute being the voice dialing. VW supposedly is adding a factory bluetooth kit in the US that will act like the Skoda kit. It will probably add A2DP for the new touch screen nav called the RNS-510 thats available in 2009. The US parts database does mention some part numbers that are similar to the Skoda kit.
 
Edit: It appears that the Skoda kit is now in the US parts system. It's even mentioned in the ETKA. The part number is 1Z0 035 729 A but it might have the B version. Also the CC has a part for bluetooth as wel. The ETKA is a VW parts database that the dealers use. There is a 2nd part for bluetooth as well. Part numbers are 1K8 035 730 and 1K8 035 730 B. Your dealer might be able to order this.
