Group Buy / EOI new generation DNS head units (RNS-510 alternative)
It does have blue tooth streaming and quality is good as I have heard.
Thanks for the reply, how would you rate the streaming sound quality, as good as CD, as good as an FM broadcast etc?
I've never had bluetooth in my mk5 hence the questions, my wife has a brand new Polo with factory bluetooth and her streaming quality is crap (sounds like an old transistor radio lol).
I know AS should really supply us with all the cabling for USB and AUX, but for a more 'OEM' fit, would this adapter work for mk5 as well as mk6? My mk5 Jetta doesn't come with factor usb or aux, but in the center console there appears to be a tab that is the same shape and size as the adapter I've linked to...

Nice neat design, I don't know where this would fit in a mk5 though.
I think the Aux is normally in the glovebox and on a mk5, how bloody inconvenient!

That looks great! Hopefully it (or something similar) will work with the DNS! Thats what I would like. something nice & OEM looking. I'm wondering if it will fit in the space in the glove box. Can't remember if I have the blank on the centre console for it on mine. I'll check this afternoon after work.
sorry ... meant to say mk5! I'll try to take a picture of what I'm talking about. In the center console where the handbrake comes out from.
Yeah it should fit there just fine. You'll need the VW specific cable for the back of it though as it uses those locking auto connectors rather than a standard USB plug.

Man that looks nice. Wish it fit the buttons where the traction control button is.

Do an eBay search as I found quite a few designed to fit there. They have neat little covers on them too for when they're not in use.
I also found a DIY guide where someone to an old USB-PS2 Microsoft keyboard adaptor and a dremel to cut a slot through one of the installed blanks. He then soldered a standard USB cable on the back to create his own version.

for those of you wanting a more clean install for your USB / auxiliary. take a look at this. I'm thinking on getting this myself for my car... I'm guessing it will work, the plug for the USB looks the same, not 100% on the auxiliary harness as I'm not at my radio, but if its to use stock oligarchy this Otta work
Besides the missing cables (which have some awesome OEM solutions as per above) are people still finding "hardware" problems? Again let me know your firmware as it may have shipped with an old one.
has anyone else had trouble with the camera? when I put it in reverse I get scrambled screen but if the car is turned off and I just turn the key once and then I put it in reverse the camera works fine why is this?
