Bluetooth capable replacement head for Golf 5.

Post by Jambalya »

Hi Guys

My CD player is giving up the ghost, it only works if the car is hot.

I would like to replace it with a affordable and reliable bluetooth capable head.

I was looking at the OEM Radio RCD510 but it doesn't have bluetooth as standard?

Are there any other brands or specific models I should be looking at?

Can also PM Senna on the forum. He sells aftermarket units that work beautifully for the fraction of the cost of an OEM unit. They also usually are fully featured (Bluetooth, Navigation, Touch Screen etc etc)

Thanks man, I'll PM him.

The RCD330 is a bit too pricey.

Cheers!

RCD510

Post by Ndivho Rambau »

I've had an RCD510 screen for about 3 - 4 months now and I have been trying to find a bluetooth module. As it was sold to me as a radio that featured bluetooth but after being unlocked by Volkswagen it seemed to have lost that function.
Is it possible to activate the bluetooth function through VAG-COM or do I have to buy a module and if so which module should i buy?

For the RCD510, you would need the 9w7 bluetooth module and wiring harness:
