BLUETOOTH WITH RCD 310

Post by Rachel9292 »

I have an 11 plate polo match, in the radio settings it gives me the option to turn bluetooth on and off. Sometimes when trying to pair with my iphone it sometimes pops up with handsfree but it comes up with an error telling me to make sure hands free is turned on? Do I have the bluetooth adapter installed on this radio, how do I find out and if not I would like to know what the cheapest way to do this is?

Regards,
Rachel

To get the 'proper' VW Bluetooth system up and running you need one of the following: a touchscreen radio headunit (RCD-510, RNS-310, RNS-510), a multifunction steering wheel, or a highline cluster. The stock Polo Match doesn't have any of these things.

VW currently fit an ugly little aftermarket (but VW branded) Bluetooth system, made by Bury. It's not that well integrated into the stereo system TBH. What quite a few people seem to have done is to fit the proper VW system into their Polos, with the RCD-510 to control it all. I'm not sure when they started putting in the Bury system.
