Bluetooth on Mk5 Golf GTI

[Guest212]

Is the lack of bluetooth really making you miserable and bitter?

You probably should consider yourself lucky if that's the only thing making you like that, others have more important things to worry about and yours is easily fixed by fitting the VW/Skoda bluetooth.

BTW what is a $43,000 premium car?? Is this a magical car that has every feature?

The Golf is a premium small/medium car. I could have bought a Mazda 3 or a Ford Focus and had it standard (and have paid less)! The bloody button is right there on the steering wheel! I take comfort in knowing that bluetooth sucks and many people never get it to work properly anyway.:p

shame only one of you can have the username Angryman

MODERATOR FAIL!!!!! Don't know why but.

Just talk to Dean at Volkspower (Vic) or Guy at Harding Performance (Bris), then you can have a fantastic VW bluetooth which uses the RNS, MFD and steering wheel buttons with voice recognition on the bluetooth unit.

Fantastic service from both gentlemen.

Then you will find the problemd with the bluetooth phones

And you would have a gotten a car with a different features and attributes. I find it hard to believe that you would choose one car other another just because of bluetooth.

As MrX posted below get the VW/Skoda bluetooth fitted or fit it yourself and your rant can be over and you can move on.

Its not worth the $$. And i would barely use it.

But its still an outrage that it is not fitted as standard.

If the MkV didn't drive as nice as it did, well, I'd probably be in one of the other cheaper cars around. I still kick myself when I look at the figures on paper. Thankgod all is forgotten when I grab the keys.

So why whinge about it then. Do you whinge that you don't have backseat side airbags? The lack of a automatic park brake? The lack of a reversing camera? Vibrating seats?

And the price would go up, you just said you would barely use it!

I feel sorry for you that you can't enjoy the GTI, perhaps you'd be happier with a Hyundai

I have picked flaws in just about every car I've been in. Sometimes they're bad, sometimes they're what makes the car special. You do understand that a person can have dislikes of something but still thoroughly enjoy it, yeh?

And just to say it again because I like doing so, the worst bit about my VW is its value for money.

Have to disagree with you there I now have a Euro car for the fraction of the price try buying an Audi / Merc / BMW etc with same features at same cost.

Just my uninformed 0.02c worth inc. gst

You got it at a fraction of the price because you didn't get the wanker-stigma attached to those other marquee's badges.

Well I do want to whinge now ..why did I pay so much for my GTI and NOT GET the backseat side airbags, the automatic park brake, reversing camera and Vibrating seats? Did I get stiffed? Maybe I should have bought a Hyundai Accent .. sure they don't have these either.. but hey .. it costs a LOT LESS!!

How did you get the backseat side airbags when they're not offered in Australia in the Golfs?

[Mischa]

lol you guys quit your bitching and buy a bluetooth headset; its better because then not everyone in your car hears what you say plus if you have tinted windows you wont even look like an M3 driver
