you most translate in google...
the sistem works well you really just need the bluetooth antenna (if you have the box under passanger seat) and activate channels 133 and 136 (and you most have the steeringwheel bottons for the phone... like this http://www.alojarfotos.com/images/mike23/pic4.jpg)

show this in a volkswagen dealer - http://www.alojarfotos.com/images/mike23/antenne.jpg

skoda doens know about this you most get it in volkswagen its about 12€

oh!! I forgot this only for who hasn´t factory bluetooth...

Am I right in thinking that in the UK we can't get any factory fit Handsfree? Is the dealer fit one the same as the factory one, just fitted by the dealer?

Do UK cars have the connector under the passenger seat - ie would we just need the interface box and the Bluetooth Antenna, or will that still not work without extra bits?

Questions questions...

Johnnyc

I've been through all this before. As far as i'm aware the connector under the passenger seat isn't there. If it was then there would also be an unused connector on the radio loom at the other end and there isn't.

You need to have the multifunction steering wheel fitted and after fitting the kit the functions of all these buttons will be different so you can answer the phone and use voice commands etc so you need to get used to that.

The dealer fit handsfree is a Cullman kit as far as i'm aware. It's a wired system and the cradle has to be purchased to suit your phone. A limited range of cradles are available for Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Siemens phones. I'm not aware of a dealer fit bluetooth kit but if they do one it's probably just a Nokia kit or something. Definately not the item referred to in this thread anyway.

Also, for certain regions (not UK) a wired cradle type handsfree option is/was available which allowed you to view the phonebook and incoming numbers etc on the maxidot screen but as far as i'm aware the bluetooth version doesn't allow this extent of integration. So it's pointless really.

An after market Bluetooth kit will do exactly the same thing and more. At least that would be guaranteed to work.

Surely you would also need a microphone somewhere.

I thought that you had the interface box...mine came whit one it has microfone everything was ready except not activate and the dealer told that it was not possible to put the factory bluetooth guess he was wrong

I am desperately trying to find out about the bluetooth kit for my Octy II vRS. According to the manual on Page 174/175 it states about the bluetooth kit. It also mentions the cradle though. I have a blackberry 7290 for my sins but would rather have the skoda kit than a parrot as I already have a tomtom on my windscreen

Forget it mate. It aint gonna happen. I've been through all of this with Skoda, VW and Cullman who make a lot of the kits and even if it was possible you are looking at several hundred quid to install it in a UK spec car.

Isn't the TOM TOM Bluetooth?

MY 510 is

Johnnyc

The top of the range Tom Tom has a Bluetooth hands free kit built in as far as i know. Good functionality but it's not hard wired to the radio so you're stuck with the built in speaker.

The Parrot kit can be mounted anywhere basically. You dont have mount it on the windscreen.

Not quite, me thinks - the tom tom 510 has the ability to connect to a car radio via the aux input, and in fact, the lead is supplied with the tom tom, in the box!

Johnnyc

Do you mean the aux input or handsfree input? To use the handsfree input on your car radio you also need a mute connection to the radio as this 'switches in' the hands free input.

I assume you mean the latter otherwise it's a total of a waste of time in my book on the basis that you have would have to manually switch over to aux on the head unit to use hands free or get voice instructions through the car speakers.

In contrast to this, the Parrot CK-3300 for example will automatically interrupt the audio on the head unit in the event of a call or to give sat nav instructions as it has a connection to the mute wire on the radio.

Forgive me if I seem a liitle naive but as I thought that bluetooth was the way to go I went to my local Carphone Warehouse yesterday and was quoted £450, including a new phone, to fit a hands free system into my Octy II (it has the multi-function steering wheel) but after reading this post I am a little confused.

At work all our vehicles have standard kits fitted and seem okay but I thought I'd spend extra to get a more up to date system as I'll be keeping this car for another 3 years and I don't like these silly (sorry, my opinion!) bluetooth headsets that you see people wearing in their cars.

Is the system that the Carphone W/house would fit any good or am I better getting a standard kit fitted? What would they fit? and how would they fit it?

Johnnyc

The car phone warehouse will probably fit a Nokia kit or equivalent. You'll get a button somewhere on the dash to answer calls, a mic at the head lining and the bluetooth controller somewhere behind the dash. The only thing i would confirm is that the audio will be piped through your car radio speakers and not through an extension speaker below the dash. These tend to be woeful for quality.

£450 is really steep though. £150-£200 will cover supply and installation of a standard bluetooth hands free kit.

scotskoda in that case just get the antenna! lol

Just fitted the sony ericcson blue tooth kit using the instructions that someone has posted on here (sorry forgot who but many thanks they were a great help). I've put the little joystick on the steering column (just under the left stalk) and the liitle screen fits perfectly above the stereo. I think it took about 3 hours to fit and my local dealers (thumbs up from me) give me the little connector block on the back of the radio. When making/recieving a call the stereo mutes and the sounds comes through the speakers - i think the kit was about £100

swing

Wouldn't CPW be the bext people to ask these questions - although we can hazard a guess, they will know what kit they are supplying. If you can find that out, confirming whether or not it's any good is a lot easier

scotskoda

Thanks for the info guys, I did think that the CPW price was expensive but I would never take the first price that I was quoted without checking out what other people charge. I was offered a choice of two cradles, one was a parrot and the other a nokia both with dash mounted buttons, I think. I did ask about how good a fit they could gaurantee, i.e I don't want loose bits of trim or exposed wiring and they said it would come through the car speakers i.e no separate speaker. Any ideas on who else to speak to about about a cheaper price?
