MY11 Multivan Bluetooth - can it be fitted later?

Probably only by changing the head end unit.
I fitted a Kenwood with sat nav and blue tooth - an expensive way to go, but it works great with my Blackberry.

I don't see the reason why it shouldn't. You can also fit RNS510 radio in a new T5, if you didn't optioned it. See Sharkie's sticky http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f136...ery-54477.html , he fitted RNS510 in his new T5.

Transporter recently fitted the latest Bluetooth to a new Skoda, so I believe it can be done. Have a look at his thread in the Skoda section for details of where its from.

Be less than $500 landed + fitting and coding. I'd certainly be doing it if I were you. Also, if it turns out not to work with the Multivan, theres plenty of Golf/Tiguan drivers who will take it off you for no loss to you .....

Here is the one I bought the parking distance sensors from and still waiting for them (bought on 19/02/11), but I'm confident that they will arrive.

Sorry to bump an old thread but better here I guess...

I have installed a 9w7 kit from bluewagen which works fine with the RNS510... In a few guides they suggest mounting the unit behind the climate control module under the head unit. Sad to say I couldn't make it fit there. I ended up with the control module wedged into the hole under the drivers feet where the clutch would have been. Snug fit, but we will see how it goes. I couldn't be stuffed trying to run the cables under the floor - lazy I know.

The only annoying thing is the microphone that came with the kit does not fit anywhere inside the roof console. There is one section which I think is made for a microphone but the one I have doesn't fit.

This is the console I have:



The microphone i have is rectangular and the section where I think it should go is basically rounded and on the passenger side. Sorry no photo - I will pull it apart again later.

Does anyone have any idea s? I'm giving my kids about 2 weeks before they pull on the mic the way it is and break it

I had the dealer I purchased my van from install the bluetooth kit and RNS510 I bought from eBay. They drilled a series of small holes in the roof console and used sikaflex to glue the mic in place. Works a treat and neat install. My wife tells me she has never noticed the holes and thought thats how they came.

I had my bluetooth factory Installed, I believe it is all under the passanger seat.
