Retrofit Bluetooth

Post by Rory » Fri Aug 24, 2012 9:24 am

Any idea how you can retrofit bluetooth to run through the Nav system using the telephone function? I asked Audi and they quoted me some ridiculous price for it! I don't really want to go down the route of parrot or anything like that just want the whole car looking factory on the surface (but actually be OEM ++ :FIREdevil: ) if I can. Is there anyone who does this and can code it in with Vagcom?

Do a google. I think there's plenty of fitters that will offer this. I had the Kufatec/Fiscon system fitted a couple of years ago. Fully integrates with the RNSE (but without the horrible OEM cradle)

Craig is awesome and did my RNS-E retro-fit and is used by Audi so is legit. Give him a call for advice.

That's sound if he's in Manchester - only down the m62 at the better end of the Mersey.

You can also get a complete kit (module, antenna, microphone and harness) from Kufatec.

Fitting takes around an hour - but you also need access to VCDS to recode (and clear fault codes from) the RNS-E, the instruments, the steering wheel (if you have an MFSW) and the BT module itself.

^ Got all my multimedia stuff fitted by HazzyDayz within weeks of picking up my car towards the end of 2010. Cannot fault those guys. They removed the old Parrot kit that was in there and fitted the OEM Bluetooth kit, Alpine/Kufatec and also set up the RS4 multimedia logo on startup. Place was a little tricky to find but service was excellent.

Everything still works faultlessly to this day.
