#15 of 30 Sound Sucks by mikeinsincity May 13, 2008 (5:11 pm)
Hey all, I just bought a 2008 GTI and love it...BUT the sound system sucks, especially radio and iPod. CD is ok. Anyway, what would someone recommend? I was thinking of getting an Amplifier or an Equalizer? Would Best Buy or another commercial retailer know what the hell they are doing? Should I take it back to VW and pay the outrageous prices? I just got rid of my 2001 Jetta and the sound was awesome. Thanks!!!! Replies to this message: gman31r (Jul 07, 2008 10:01 am)
#16 of 30 Bluetooth by sealbeach May 21, 2008 (6:20 pm)
Hi all, I have a 2007 MkV GTI with navigation and it comes with the phone button on the wheel. Where can we find and how can we actually install the bluetooth system and approximately how much it would cost?   Thanks a lot Replies to this message: upstatedoc (May 22, 2008 6:29 am) rv65 (May 24, 2008 12:37 am) upstatedoc (May 25, 2008 3:13 pm) and 1 more... rv65 (Jun 07, 2008 1:36 pm)

Replying to: upstatedoc (May 22, 2008 6:29 am) Thats not the only kit. Startac has one thats for Skoda but works with the GTI. That kit is better but more expensive. Also requires some wiring and programming with VCDS aka VAG-com. It does have full integration. It uses the mute button for voice dialing. Has your usual features. Can voice tag contacts. VW is also planning an official kit with Nokia that can be installed on 06-08 models. Replies to this message: upstatedoc (May 25, 2008 3:13 pm) rv65 (May 25, 2008 10:47 pm)

Replying to: rv65 (May 24, 2008 12:37 am) So you could only use the bluetooth paired with a Nokia phone.....? Replies to this message: rv65 (May 25, 2008 10:47 pm)

Replying to: upstatedoc (May 25, 2008 3:13 pm) Well it's a bluetooth kit made for any phone that supports it. Just about any phone with bluetooth should work.   There is a Premium rSAP kit that does what you are saying. That kit is much more expensive and is European only. Only Nokia GSM and BenQ siemens GSM phones with rSAP work with this kit.
#21 of 30 MDI Unit by rv65 May 27, 2008 (6:48 pm)
VW is working on a proper iPod adaptor. It's called the MDI or Media In. Supports USB, Aux and iPod. Comes with a USB cable but you need an iPod cable if you want iPod. Full integration of the iPod. Requires the RNS-510 in order to use it since it fully works with it. It can work with the RCD 510 as well which is like the RNS-510 but no navigation and some other features take off of it. The MDI unit needs a harness but there are some sellers selling it. So far the RNS-510 isn't out yet along with the maps. Can't use the maps from the current system in this unit. Maps are stored on the hard drive. Hope this helps.
#22 of 30 Some pics of the MDI by rv65 May 29, 2008 (10:49 pm)
See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com   Shows the MDI and some cables. Also shows the ipod cable for it. Again it requires the RNS-510 which the dealers will offer a retrofit kit for it. Needs a harness or some wiring. The new MDI will finally offer a proper iPod solution. Hope this helps. iPod cable sold seperately. I'm sure there are people wanting a proper VW iPod solution.

Replying to: upstatedoc (May 22, 2008 6:29 am) I hate too say this but if you want multi info display integration then you must get the Skoda kit at over 500 USD. You will need to get the wiring for it. Go to www.octavia-vrs.com and click on contact then it will give you the email needed to buy it. There is an installation manual there which has some parts that you will need to buy. A copy of VCDS 805 will also be needed to program the unit. Also the coding can be done at your local dealer.
