Solution needed for replacement for TPK

Post by MattBlueGT »

Hey guys
I have the 310 dab stereo with the dash mounted tpk phone Bluetooth doodad for hands free. What's the quickest, cheapest solution to get rid of the dash mounted tpk touchscreen in favour of using hands free phone kit integrated with the stereo? I don't like having loads of stuff spread around the dash so looking for an integrated solution.

Considered something like this? http://www.carcommunications.co.uk/oem- ... ng-oem-kit

All I know if the microphone is stored in your interior light and the module can be hidden behind the radio or under the seat

Looks good thanks but would it be a similar price to just replace the headunit with a newer or better be one that has the Bluetooth phone system built in? I'm new to my polo so I don't know what all the options are yet.

Another choice is the fiscon basic or basic plus

Works best paired with an rns or rcd510

You could also get an rns315

I recommend getting the rns315, and then just remove the tpk yourself and install the headunit yourself its not hard to do

Is there any other improvement with the 315 over the 310 other than the Bluetooth hands free?

And is it best to buy a 315 from a VW dealer?

No very similar units

eBay is your friend!

Bit concerned buying on eBay due to stolen ones and duff units. Are there "go to" sellers that people can vouch for or recommend?

The map data is saved in the flash memory in RNS 315. Makes it a Whole lot faster reading the data compared with the RNS 310 using the SD-card.

So it is difficult to compare them - like apples and bananas :-)
