Got myself a bury cradle. Is there anyone in Canberra with VCDS to help me recode.
Would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Warning! Bury S9 active cradle to suit iPhone 5 model S9AAPIPHONE5 does NOT fit correctly!
VW touch adapter has two grooves and two slot at top, bury s9 unit has one slot and does not seat correctly in base. Charging seemed to work but I have not recoded to test other features.
The unit fails to lock correctly and with likely a poor connection I'd advise not buying this model.

I'm not sure what model iPhone you are referring to.
I have fitted in my car a genuine THB Bury Series 9 cradle and an iPhone 5 model ND299x/a LTE bought unlocked through Apple Australia. As far as I know there is only one Australian model but some have carrier locks.

If anything, the cradle for the 9 fits more snugly into the baseplate than the iPhone 4 cradle - with a nice click from the baseplate lock - which is a good thing

I don't have a problem with the iphone 5 fitting in the cradle, my issue is solely with the cradle.
It will not go all the way in and lock into baseplate, also it very hard to remove too after you try get it in. After inspecting it I realised it is different to the touch adapter and presumably the genuine VW iphone adapters as I previously had an iphone 4 genuine VW unit and had no issue fitting it. The bury unit I purchased is model number S9AAPIPHONE5 and as you can see from the photo the attachment is different? is yours a different model and does fit the baseplate correctly or you just pushed real hard?

I've got the Universal XL cradle and it is also tight fitting. Its not really an issue..

Thanks , if you look at the ones in this picture does yours have the VW style mount in green or the bury system 9 one in red?
N.B. the two notches circled in yellow missing from the Bury unit to not fit in my car, I could carve them out with a dremmel though to make it fit properly? If there are non genuine Bury units that have the correct fitting that'd be good to know.

Though this raises a query, does the unit suit? it may be the wrong type, a change in adapter mount usually would mean different hardware?

My VW Touchadaptor model number is the same as yours, and both my iPhone 4 and 5 docks look the same as yours on the back, and they all fit. The bar code for my 5 dock is different, 3130000001119171, as is the date (16, not 15) not sure if that means anything though.

The top of the iPhone cradles do indeed have slightly different slots, but if you notice the slight recess around the curve - that's what grips on to the top of the cradle to lift it.

Do the square docks at the bottom look the same, and does it say System9 on the front?

[Karl]

Yes it does say system 9 on the front and it does have the same square docks on the bottom. I'm guessing the solution is to dremmel some grooves into the bury unit so it fits. Are the locating "bumps" on the base circled in yellow in this picture very worn on yours? mine may not be as I never used to take the thing in and out much.


Here's a video showing the difference between touch adapter and bury unit, I no longer have my Genuine VW iphone 4 handyadapter but it did also fit very well and easily like the touch adapter does.

[ill0gitech]

My 4 didn't fit in too tightly, but I was able to click it in with a bit of a push down on the top of the baseplate at the back. It was certainly never as loose as the one in the video. It was never a very solid click though - and to be honest, I never thought it was about those grooves, but that it was slightly too tall to fit in, but it's hard to say.

My 5 has no issue with that at all though, and clicks straight in, no issues at all.

Hi readerr0r,

Nice thread and very comprehensive instructions. I think it depends on the build date of the car etc? Because I don't have the same options of 00, 01, 02 as you have shown in the screen.

I had someone with a cable come by and help me out and we tried to code out the adaptor and it always says code 'accepted' but it still remains the same numbers when we reconnect the cables to double check the coding.

Then after a while VW Phone poped up, my phone connected to it but for this to happen I have to keep the Voice-Touch adaptor connected as well. Is this how you have it setup?

I have no other way but it now connects directly to the RCD510 but the Voice Touch still in place. I had to return my iPhone 5 adaptor as we result (and it didn't fit well anyway) as shown in the later pictur

Here's some pretty pictures, because someone who doesn't own a Polo said so

Yes, you can still direct connect to the BT unit with the touch adapter in place but the touch adapter may try to take over. If you read a bit into ill0gitech guide at the start of this thread you'll notice he goes into detail about the differences. Doing the VCDS coding means you don't need the touch adapter in at all.

Your friends VCDS cable might not've worked due to two reasons, it's the cheaper Micro-CAN model (light blue, see through, silver cable) instead of the Hex-CAN model (Black all round) or it's a Chinese copy. The Polo, especially the BT adapter tends to only work with the legitimate Hex-CAN model.

I've got my iPhone 4S directly paired with the Rcd510... I just made my phone forget the touch adaptor...and set the touch adaptor display to go to sleep after 15 secs... No issue there...
Now waiting to get into VCDS - I wanna disable that thing totally

Don't know if this has been posted somewhere already but Kolumbus24 now have the genuine VW iPhone 5 cradle in stock (plug and play, no VCDS coding required).

This guide is excellent however I don' t have RCD510 in my Polo TSi MY12.5! I have the stock RCD310, can I still disable the touch adaptor via VCDS, purchase a Bury S9 dock and still pair the phone with my Bluetooth module?

Without a RCD510 or MFD+ Speedo you have no way to accept calls handsfree. You can still sync up the phone to the BT though, so if you're ok with manually accepting and dialing numbers from your phone then you can still upgrade (I guess having your phone in the dock would be the same as having the touch adapter anyway).
