#41 of 139 Re: iPod for Passat CC with Navi [rv65] by ivan_99 Nov 20, 2008 (12:53 am)
Replying to: rv65 (Nov 19, 2008 4:53 pm) you certain? Are dealers aware of this?   So 'everything' would get installed...30gb hd, auxiliary multimedia connector, SD card slot, backup camera, etc?   Do you know what the cost of this would run? Sounds like a pricey prospect to me.   I haven't tested many NAV systems...but this one looks like one of the best for graphics/ergonomics/design/functionality...much better than CTS and G35...and new Acura's...I like the NAV in the Lexus IS, but didn't do a direct comparison.   I was impressed with my brief play time.

Replying to: rv65 (Nov 14, 2008 9:59 pm) Yes! Thank you so much. That cable is nothing like what I expected. It is not a USB at all. It works just fine, and I got it online for $15-20 less than at the dealership, which was clueless to begin with about what I needed. So thanks for the posting and the advise...

Replying to: miamicc (Nov 20, 2008 12:47 pm) You're welcome. It's got a dock connector. Glad you are enjoying it. Keep posting this to other new CC owners with the nav and iPod. The MDI will also be on non-nav models but that won't be for another 1 to 2 model years, since it requires some non nav radios that have yet to be released here in the states. Then non nav owners can have the full iPod integration as the nav users.

Replying to: ivan_99 (Nov 15, 2008 11:45 pm) I think the CC is a very sharp car. Cheap, no, but any car built in Germany is not inexpensive to manufacture.   But with the iffy quality and less than premium materials of some of the cars like Mercedes, a loaded to the max 4 motion V6 CC is not that bad of a deal at just a little over 42k.   Your 70 grand Mercedes CLS will be lucky to be worth 30k in 3 years time with the horrid depreciation and bad reputation of the brand.   Doesn't make the VW look like it's overpriced then. No matter what the brand, any AWD car with close to 300hp and all the tech goodies is 40k plus. Replies to this message: bobgwtw (Nov 22, 2008 4:24 pm) rjlaero (Nov 24, 2008 3:58 pm)

Replying to: rjlaero (Nov 22, 2008 12:48 pm) I agree that the CC is a sharp car; but VW ranks right up - er down there - with Mercedes when it comes to quality, shoddy workmanship & service costs.   I'd like to buy a cc; but it's not a good value. I drive 55.000 miles a year & replace my car roughly every three years. I'm not willing to live with the depreciation, problems & cost of maintaining it when there are reliable relatively trouble free Asian ccars available.

Replying to: bobgwtw (Nov 22, 2008 4:24 pm) I'm not sure why VW can't seem to get the nagging check engine lights, sensors, and other electrical things down.   It's not that their cars fall apart...they hold up quite well. Its always having to run back to the dealership to fix the small things that get annoying.   Audi has done an amazing job over the last 1/2 decade with this stuff. Not sure why VW can't follow the same lead. Especially now that they are into cars 40-55k.

Replying to: ivan_99 (Nov 20, 2008 12:53 am) You can do it. It's possible if you have time and money. I have seen the RNS-510 with nearly everything you need for 2,030. You will need a sirius extension cable and the MDI. The backup camera is about 800 USD extra. The MDI is 250 USD plus 50 to 60 depending on the cable. The MDI has special cables for Aux, iPod, and mini USB. MDI comes with the USB cable. You can't use the USB cable for the iPod. iPod requires 000 051 446 C which is the MDI iPod cable.   The best bluetooth kit is about 500 USD. It adds up but you can do this gradually.
#48 of 139 Factory bluetooth by rv65 Dec 05, 2008 (5:12 pm)
1K8 035 730 B   Apparently the ETKA has this part number listed as a factory bluetooth module. It might have both basic and premium in it. It looks like a premium kit rather than the tried and true Skoda one. The premium kit is like an in car cellphone while the Skoda kit is more like the bluetooth systems that other cars have. I would think it would be Basic and Premium. Will probably have BT audio streaming for the RNS-510. Appears to be better than the Volk-L kit. Skoda kit doesn't work with the CC due to the steering wheel controls. The 1K8 unit can be had for 421 for just the unit itself. Probably needs a mic, harness, and programming. The Volk-L kit is just an in car headset. So Volk-L is a temporary solution until they can release the factory module which can be retrofitted. Replies to this message: rv65 (Dec 06, 2008 10:50 am)

#50 of 139 Revised Nav System and factory bluetooth by rv65 Dec 12, 2008 (6:08 pm)
The nav system for the 09 Passat CC and all other models has been slightly revised. This new revision has a different software and firmware revision. The MUTE button is now the PHONE button. That means VW is close to releasing a factory bluetooth option that has RNS-510 integration. The RNS-510 has a bluetooth menu where you can access your phone book and touchscreend dialing. This kit will likely have voice recognition and MFI/MFD integration in addition to the touch screen.   VW is planning to replace the current non nav radio with the RCD-310 and the RCD-510. The RCD-510 is basically a non nav RNS-510. It has the same touch screen and similar graphics. The RCD-510 has a slightly different fascia though.It doesn't have a hard drive but has an SD slot. They also added in a 6 CD/DVD/MP3 changer. These new head units are also compatible with the MDI which means integrated iPod with the right cable. The RCD-510 also has a touch screen bluetooth menu as well.   All in all VW is finally going to roll out a bluetooth as a factory option and new non nav radios are on the way.
