Another bluetooth confusion thread

[tooch]

So I've been doing tons of reading about the various bluetooth options available for our cars with RNS510's, and am even more confused than before.

Which of the 3 retrofit kits here Bluetooth Kits & Parts is the best to use?

You should post it in the VW Audio section , ...to get it answered faster or just search in the Audio section.

Thanks mate, I did plenty of searching but just confused the hell out of myself
Just thought I'd try get a direct answer

basically u want a "kit" - not an "upgrade".
considering u have an my11, u want one with "white mfd" - so that leaves u with:-
- VW Bluetooth KIT 3C8035730B (9WZ) - Retrofit - white mfd
- VW Bluetooth KIT 5N0035730D (9W7) - Retrofit - white mfd

it comes down to either 9w7 or 9wz.
the only advantage 9wz has over the 9w7 is that it has an additional feature - it supports rSAP bluetooth profile. hence the additional GSM antennaes (external) that come in the kit for 9wz.

Thank you, exactly the info I was after

Looks like I'll buy the 9wz. Even though my iphone doesn't support rSAP, I'd like to have the facility there for future use.

I bought a 9W7 that supports RSAP and it's cheaper than a 9WZ too - Only two left!

that module doesn't support rSAP functions, just rSAP devices

as jameshero already said - the 9w7 most definately doesn't have rsap functionality.
another give away is in the ebay link u provided. u can clearly see there is NO external gsm antenna supplied, nor is there a connector for it on the pictures of the bt unit.
this is a must for rsap functionality. in rsap mode, the bt unit becomes the phone. it uses its own external antenna & power. it doesn't use the mobile.

hence why "its cheaper than a 9wz".

Sorry guys, my bad

I must admit that the description was a little misleading....oh well, thankfully it's a feature I don't require.
