Re: Samsung Galaxy S7 edge

There no guarantees with VW Bluetooth. Its juts not very reliable/compatible. You can check the module under your seat and see if there is a more modern version available. Speak to http://www.carsystems.pl/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; they can probably tell you what modu...

Re: Pumpkin android head units

Been looking at these as an option myself, but there is very little info on them. They sound too good to be true TBH.... Built in Bluetooth, MFD and steering wheel control integration, sat nav etc etc... I suppose for £200 taking a punt can't hurt, and you can likely resell it if its rubbish. Please...

Re: satnav on your mobile - audio output/Bluetooth options?

we seem to be at cross purposes here: 1) if your car has Bluetooth phone capability, and you listen to something via radio or MDI, then google maps can interrupt music from any source for nav directions. 2) if you don't have Bluetooth capability and you're plugging phone in via MDI, it has no way t...

Re: satnav on your mobile - audio output/Bluetooth options?

I used my phone as a sat nav (Google Maps/Navigation) on my old car with bluetooth, and that used to quieten the music when directions came on and the directions would come through the speakers, I have yet to use it on my Scirocco with bluetooth but I imagine it'll be the same. Can let you know nex...

Re: satnav on your mobile - audio output/Bluetooth options?

Can't seem to get audio on my VW/Bury Bluetooth from googlemaps - I generally prefer the TomTom app anyway, google doesn't tell you to turn until half way through an intersection! I guess there is no good option to have TomTom output over the car speakers? I'm not convinced a bluetooth module would ...

Re: satnav on your mobile - audio output/Bluetooth options?

Thanks for the replies.

I do have MDI, but the cable to too short to use the iphone plug and use it as a display, but AUX should be easy to extend - I never considered that option.

I take it that I can't listen to the radio and have it still work tho? I've not tried...

Anyone else?

satnav on your mobile - audio output/Bluetooth options??

For those that use the Satnav on your mobiles a lot, how do you handle the audio output? Can they work with Bluetooth over the car speakers? What is your setup? I currently use an iPhone 4s and a tomtom mount, but I want a new phone! The mount has am inbuilt speaker which helps a lot, and I don't th...

Re: Opinions on my private plate ?

Total waste of money IMO. 3 letters that sort of but not really spell the name of your car... Beyond pointless.

Buy something to make it go faster, run smother, last longer, look better or more comfortable/fun instead.

Re: Fitting RNS510

Best price for installation I got was £60, dealer said £70-100 depending if software needed updating. It's a pretty simple job and there is a tutorial on this forum as well as on YouTube. Only reason I'd avoid doing it myself is not being sure if steering wheel controls and mfd would work after, and...

So that's a no then... haha Not that this helps you, but what's wrong with water ?

It's still a necissity whe...

Waterless Car Wash?

I used to scoff at folk who used waterless car wash as lazy mans solution, expensive and a way to scratch your paint, but a few years ago while I was in America and owned a Black car I came across the stuff called "dri wash n'guard" which was really amazing. It lifted dirt, hazed up, buffe...
