VW MY11 Bluetooth - VW 9ZB

[Pepe]

Good news maybe bad news.
I can get the loom and mic from E B A Y for $130 delivered however i note now that my box is 730 b not 730 c .Does anyone know the difference ?and will it work in my golf r and with the mic/loom for the 730 c?
Also any comments on anyone who has installed the unit on the complexity of the install .
If the return of my part was easy I would take this option and order complete kit from ebay but not sure if i will be able to do this.

It is reasonably easy to do, just need a couple of hours if you're not familiar with pulling apart dash trim, etc. You'll need a lot of patience too. If you want it enabled in the MFD, you'll need access to a VAG-COM cable. Oh, and there is some cutting of wires and soldering involved for the R.

I'm 99.9% sure the loom would word regardless of 730b or c.

Pepe do you know if there is cutting and soldering of wires for a 2010 GTI? (made in April this year)??

Well, if you have factory fitted voice recognition, then there'll be a mic up in the central bit where the lights are above your head. As that mic uses 2 pins which are also the pins in for the phone kit, you basically have to cut the wires on the loom, then cut the wires on the factory mic plug (which is the same plug as the phone loom), and essentially frankenstein the two. It's only 2 wires that need to be done, but you do have to be careful because you basically have to do it in the car. I imagine that this wouldn't be different for a 2010 GTI than it is for a 2010 R.

If you don't have inbuilt voice control, then you'll have to run a mic cable and install the mic you get with the kit.

Have created a DIY for the installtion of the 9w7 bluetooth kit I got from Ebay from the bloke in Spain. See the 'Summary of Bluetooth Options' stick thread.

Cheers,

It’s a good kit, quality is even better than the OEM Parrot kit I had in my Mark V GTI. I am frustrated though, both my BlackBerry & iPhone’s voice dialling is not being initiated by any of the buttons mentioned in the instruction manual, and the dealer is not familiar with MY11 kit workings. Also a friend of mine is being charged $1295 for a factory Bluetooth kit, because apparently it needs different modules when connecting to the NAV? is this true? or is the dealer having a lend? (mine was $600 inc GST)

The MY11 Bluetooth is $550 from the factory, regardless of whether there is Sat Nav or not.

I haven't seen the instructions specifically for the 9ZB before, but I know that for other recent VW kits, the "voice dialing" doesn't initiate the phone's voice dialing, it initiates the voice dialing of the bluetooth's phonebook. Thus you actually need to record the "voice names" of the phonebook entries yourself. I saw this on "AskaVWSalesGuy" at some point, and it was not for the 9ZB... but maybe that'll help.

Yep, this is right. The voice dialing is from the bluetooth phonebook.

Has anyone else experienced any static (you know when a mobile gets to close to a radio it produces that annoying sound) whilst making a call on the factory fitted bluetooth as mentioned above??

I find it quite annoying seeing as the blue ant one I have been using doesn't do it...

I'm using a HTC HD2 with Android on it and spent about an hour on the phone today alone. Audio is nice and clear and haven't had anyone comment on issues hearing me etc like they did using my previous blueant 3 or speakerphone in the car. Also had no issues turning the car off and having it transfer the call back to the phone.

Phonebook is a bit slow so can't really scroll numbers on the MFD but search feature on the touch screen works nice enough so quite happy.

Bumping.

Can someone direct me to a link to buy the 9ZB kit? or its equivalent?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure but this might be it:
New OEM Bluetooth Handsfree kit RNS510 MFD3 VW SKODA (eBay item 280604912022 end time 15-Jan-11 20:37:11 AEDST) : Phones

Why can't they just use one set of codes/part numbers?

[MAD]

FFS people,
Why are we all getting excited about a $550 OPTION on a $50K car? It's ridiculous when you consider the hire car I had 6 months ago, a crappy corolla and a new festiva at $16K or whatever Ford were flogging them off for recently, comes with BT standard!!!

Such a basic feature, and the #$%^s charge $550 for it when it should be standard on all Aus production vehicles.

And yet, we all line up bent over the barrle wanting one.. including me....

Agreed 1000%,

When i can add blue tooth to a computer for $50
Or by a 7 inch 2din after market with built in blutooth
or just your average garmin, tom tom, etc gps unit with touch screen dial voice dial address and contact list etc for less than just the blutooth unit from VW,
WTF are they thinking,
many other cars much better priced come standard with reverse sensors, full alarm , imobilizer, blue tooth, etc etc etc

come on VW get with it

Regards

The reason people are excited, is prior to MY11, that $550 option you're complaining about was a $2200 dealer accessory.
And at $2200, it was not out of touch of other european bluetooth costs! So yes, other cheaper cars have bluetooth for free. From what I've seen, they're far more basic than what you get for $550 (at least based on my Golf with RNS510).

So that is why people are excited about paying $550 for bluetooth.
I'm sure at some point it'll be free, but $550 is obviously WAAAAAY better than the $2200 of six months ago
