Show phone number of Bluetooth call on RCD300

[mlevit]

Hey guys,

I have the RC300 head unit with the Bluetooth car kit. Do you guys know if it's possible for it to show the number of the person calling on the screen?

Or is there a way of upgrading the version of the either RCD300 or the Bluetooth car kit to allow this to happen?

Probably need to
Upgrade both to be honest.

Hey mlevit.

Sorry but the RCD300 won't do that, period.

You will need an RNS510 if you want to see it on the screen, but if you have a full height trip computer, which i doubt being an 06 model, then you can get the VW bluetooth kit which will show the phonebook in there.

So RNS510 is the go. They can be had second hand for under $1500 or from O/S for about $1000 shipped.

Hope that helps.

Hey benough,

Does it have to be the RNS510? Can't use the RCD510?

Yep, RCD510 will be fine, but to use either in an 06 you will need to upgrade the gateway.
Al..
