Kufatec/Skoda Bluetooth for mk6 GTI?

[mycl]

Has anyone had any experience getting this installed? In Melbourne perhaps? From the forums, apparently No Limits does it... but they cant do the VAGCOM?? Anywhere else in Melb?

The VW Basic Bluetooth is pretty expensive for the basic thing it does...

[mycl]

bump...

no one's done it or considered yet?

I'm considering the Skoda BT solution, but my car doesn't arrive for months.

Let me know how you go...

I got the Kufatec Fiscon Basic unit installed in my MK6 103TDI (stock head unit) from Freeway Car Audio in Dandenong.. my uncle put me on to them so I got a good deal.

Works a treat using the MFD and integrates the steering wheel controls.. Syncs with my iPhone 3GS just fine..

Thanks.

Do you know if there are any problems streaming via bluetooth lossless sized files or are you using the MDI for that? (Your not using the RCD510?)

So works fine with MFD means caller ID and song titles?

Do you know if you have 2 phones synced how easier it is to select and change?

[chopsticle]

I can't comment on the RCD510 as you need a Basic Plus and it works through the RCD510 rather than the MFD for this model from what I understand..

A2DP sounds like crap in comparison to the Aux plug - i don't have MDI.

Caller ID - no, song titles - no.. those items cannot be displayed on MFD from what I understand.. Might want to chat to Freeway Car Audio (dandenong) and check if they've done a GTI yet and what the deal is.. I suspect it's a whole different kettle of fish.. sorry, my bad for butting in about the 103TDI.

Hi all,
I didn't want to new thread about the Fiscon / Kufatec bluethooh systems within the Skoda forum, since I understand that the Skoda Bolero sound system is basically a repackaged RCD510 system. So I'd appreciate some assistance from VW users-
My questions are:

1) My Skoda RS sedan (with multi function steering wheel) will be arriving in 3-4 weeks, and I wanted to install a fiscon bluetooth system and integrate it with the Bolero + MFD. Reading about the various features on Kufatec's website, I'm still confused about whether I need a 'Basic' or 'Plus' model. I realise that the Plus is meant for Columbus (equivalent to RNS510), since it integrates with the Navi system. But does the 'Basic' provide all the other features i.e. display of phone list etc on the Bolero (or RCD510) screen, integration with the the 'phone' button on the system?, integration with the MFD and steering controls?
2) Is it better to get this system installed via the Dealer or via specialist independent installers? The price I believe will always be higher at the dealer....or at least for my dealer, since he is going to make use of a outside company anyway (so he will basically act as the middle man making his extra commission). So my question is, if there are warranty issues or installation troubles (I worried with how much panneling has to be removed to install the mic) - will the dealer be responsible for installation of this system, and hence its advantagious to go through him?
3) For people who have installed the 'Basic' or 'Plus' system, can you please provide a ball-park estimate? or can I PM anyone if they don't want to disclose the pricing?

Thanks Chopsticle for disclosing the price you got, but as this was a mates-rate, can anyone else tell me what they paid?
Thanks in advance.

I have the basic bluetooth ordered.. do i get any further functionality having the RNS510? Like in dash contacts??

Cheers..

Hi,
I didn't want to start another thread.
I'm thinking of getting the Kufatec basic plus unit installed in my Skoda, from Autofidelity in Moorabin.
Has anyone experienced any problems with the unit?

My dealership can install a basic bluetooth system. But wondering if Kufatec system is money better spent?
My dealer said Skoda head office have heard of issues with the Kufatec system (he didn't provide details).

I am in the same boat. The only thing is I have now been told that there is Dension unit available in Aus that is ment to be better.

Oh I give up!! Today I asked my dealer to fit the factory Skoda bluetooth kit. This way if there are any issues I can blame them, instead of a small car audio shop, with little support from Skoda.

I got the Fiscon Basic Plus kit for mine, which runs the RCD510 unit, the basic plus system fits easily in around half hour, Don't buy the system locally, I got mine from the UK from justcarkits.co.uk got it for $625 landed in Aus, some $300 cheaper for the same kit here, all you need to do bar fitting it is take it to a dealer to get the MFS to work (turn on coding for kit) but having said that, the kit will work with full functionality through the Head unit straight up.
