Yes, it would be lost, ...you would have to use the
star button to control the RNS510 by voice.
I see. Then I will probably leave it inactivated too. Even though they are nice to have, none of the two voice control features are very useful to me. However voice dial feature is the less useful of the two, since it rarely works (at least that was the case with the RNS 315 since the voice language was English and it didn't understand the non-English names that make up the majority of my phonebook.
Anyway, as I installed the wiring harness and the BT module in the car today I got a nice surprise. Since I bought a used BT module it was already coded, and it turned out that everything worked right out of the box. I was able to connect my phone, stream music over BT, see song/artist/album in the MFD, change song with the arrow buttons on the RNS and the steering wheel, I got the phone menu both in the RNS 510 and the MFD (and it is a more extensive phone menu than the one I had in the MFD when using the RNS 315) and I was able to make a phone call from the MFD and it worked perfectly.
I will still hook it up to VCDS when I get the opportunity, to have a look at the settings. But I'm not in a hurry since everything seems to be working so far.
As a bonus, when I bought the BT module I also received the foam holder even though it wasn't pictured in the seller's listing. The foam is for the Golf and it is too tall to let the Polo seat slide front to back freely when the seat is in the lowest position. So instead of just leaving the module unprotected on the floor, I cut off 1.5cm from the bottom of the foam, put the module in the remaining foam piece and secured it with velcro strips to the floor under the passenger seat. I'm about to go trough with the OEM Fabia fire extinguisher bracket as my next mod, let's hope it won't interfere with the foam piece...
