EOI: Bluetooth Group buy for RNS/RCD 510

[RoknRob]

Nice! Count me in, then!
In my current car, my phone will stream via Bluetooth, but the MDI equivalent will not recognize it. Go figure. (It's not a vw, BTW)

also interested pending price

That would be why then

You're kidding yourself, Gavs, if you think VWs are always hassle- and trouble-free!

Ha ha, I already own a VW and am going into another one! I'm a sucker for punishment

[Smacca]

My VW dealer only last week quoted me $750 + GST for Bluetooth. So for half the price, count me in!

Just let me know when and where to send the funds...

Any chance of posting the ebay listing link Gav?

[gavs]

No worries, looky here Hopefully it works this time.....

Thanks. What a straight-forward listing! The seller obviously isn't interested in marketing it to anyone other than VW enthusiasts or those in the know (works for me).

I see the condition is listed as "new-other", but the seller doesn't further explain this. Do we know if the units are factory seconds or defects, or just not in original packaging?

Or off the back of a truck.... Don't konw, don't really care

Looks promising...link does work now

[onions]

i managed to pick up the same unit from the spanish seller

Bluetooth VW RNS 510 9W7 UHV/RSAP AD2P / 5K0035730 !!! | eBay

The install is pretty straight forward if your feeling adventurous. Don't forget though, the gti has drawers under the front seats. I placed the bluetooth unit between the carpet and firewall under the glovebox.

It also definately doesnt fit behind the rns510 in a polo gti without comfort pack.

bluetooth should be standard imo.

[gavs]

The actual VW manual still shows the install under the front seats with the drawers so it can be done, unfortunately for us who have cars coming that are MY11.5 spec, we don't get the drawers

[gavs]

Ok, so shipping for 10+ units will be around the USD100 mark, units he will do at USD300 which includes the module, all cables and the microphone.

So, based on the aussie dollar, it will cost AUD50! Awwww, poor wittle american dollar that is worf nuffing...

Ha Ha, no seriously, it will be 310 USD which is basically 310 AUD. I will organise separate shipping costs to our interstate persons once the units arrive, vic peoples, feel free to pick up from me.

So, do we go ahead? If so, I will need a response by monday 18/4/2011

At that price, I am in. But at this stage I can not transfer funds until next Friday (good idea to spec when you would need the funds in your account by Gavs - trust me)
Like I said, happy to get Brissie units posted to me for pickup from Mt Gravatt (home) or Virginia (work)
May even host an install day (especially if someone has a VagComm to code the installs...)
Al..
Edit: Not a bad idea to list in the first post all the details, including who EOI'd, who has committed, when you need funds by and how much it is going to be.
Also, with the $ less than 1 AT THE MOMENT, perhaps propose that if there are any remaining funds they be donated to VWWC to keep it clean. ($310 US currently = $295 AUD). We don't want to see you out of pocket though...
