VW MY11 Bluetooth - VW 9ZB

[Corey_R]

Okays, I'm starting this thread to clean up the discussion in the MK6 Golf forum in relation to the new VW Bluetooth kit available on MY11 cars. (Sorry Swallowtail, feel free to merge/clean/etc this as you see fit).

The information on the MY11 Bluetooth (VW code: 9ZB), is that it is factory fit option for Golf, Golf Wagon, Tiguan, and Eos, and Standard in Passat CC. It won't be available in the Bettle, Passat, Jetta or Touareg because all of these are getting a complete new model, so won't have a "MY11" model in their current form.

It is a factory fitted option for $550 (at least in the Golf).
No word one whether it can be a dealer fitted accessory, whether it can be fitted on MY10 and older cars, or how much it would cost etc.

I have been informed that it has all the advantages of the Skoda Kit & 'Premium' kit, but much more cost effective (basically makes all the existing Bluetooth options redundant).

It works with the RCD310/510 and RNS510, in combination with Multi-Function Steering wheel and MFD Plus.
Apparently works with "generally all bluetooth phones".
Allows Bluetooth Audio Streaming
Alows operation via the phone,. MFD Plus, and RCD510/RNS510 touch screens
Allows phone book via RCD510/RNS510 touch screens


Edit: Update 10 Sep 2010 thanks to Pepe:

Okay, the 9ZB thing is solved (big thanks to Maltopia for his VIN so I could follow this up)

9ZB = 9W7

Using Maltopia's VIN, I had a VW parts guy look his car up on the system and confirm that the BT unit in the 9ZB code is 7P6 035 730B, which is the B version of the 9W7 kit. No idea why it's a different order code to 9W7 here, but it is the same thing. It has an integrated BT aerial, so is just a control unit.

VW Aus lists the price for the unit alone as $738.30 and doesn't have any in stock, in fact, they haven't ever had any. But, it is on their system now at least.

Also note, the MY11 VW Bluetooth option wasn't on that list, but I have been informed it will be available, has all the advantages of the Skoda Kit & 'Premium' kit, but much more cost effective (basically makes all the existing Bluetooth options redundant).

Im not sure if I should a new thread for this one, but can this be dealer fitted to people who are after bluetooth on their Golfs?

Unfortunately it does not state whether it can be dealer fitted. Hopefully a dealer can confirm that sometime soon for us

I have Emailed my dealer to find out if it is possible. Heres hoping!!!

But for $50,990 for the 3 Door with DSG, it is awfullty close to what my speced up GTI has cost me!!!

My dealer did not get back to me about the bluetooth. But damn for $550!!! it surely cant be THAT much extra to get it dealer fitted...

Don't be shocked if it cost double. Not only is it more expensive because of shipping and packaging and storage in local warehouses etc, but it's much more effort to install once the car is finished...

I understand. However it is still $500 MORE then getting the Skoda kit installed. So it should be a win win. Heres hoping the dealer can order and fit it.

You can't go wrong getting the VW/Skoda kit. Doubt the new one would be better or cheaper than $600. If the dealer can't fit it then see Volkspower.

I was thinking about seeing them, they are not that far from where I live too. Whats their reputation like when it comes to pulling apart and putting back together cars?

They sell and install them, i'm sure they've done plenty (as have Harding Performance and European Autotech).

I had one as well in my MK5, worked 100% the whole time.

Would this new Bluetooth adapter also allow Voice control of the RNS510?

My dealer has confirmed that the MY11 9ZB Bluetooth CANNOT be dealer fitted, it must be done at the factory.

I have been offered the installation of the Skoda Bluetooth kit, which is regarded by many people as being the best bluetooth kit you can get on VW's (still need to wait and see what the 9ZB kit is like to compare!).

I have been informed that the kit will cost $1500 fully installed at the dealer.

You can get it installed by a third party, such as G-Rig mentioned, for a much lower price than that. They're just as capable (if not more so sometimes) than the dealers at working with the cars...

I have no doubt that is what he told you, but I'd put money on that not being true...

What makes you say that?
