satnav system plus RNS-e & bluetooth?

[kevin elliott]

Ive got the built in satnav but trying to get phone connected on bluetooth.

If I go into tel then hit setup it doesnt show me any phone settings. Just wondering if these units always have bluethooth or its a separate module I need to get? In my old A5 le mans it wouldnt connect until I updated the whole MMI then it sprang to life. Maybe I need to buy a software update?

its on SW 0360

BT is a separate module hence why it's not got anything in the menus, also if it's a UK rns with sw0360 it needs an update to latest which is 0650 if it's a MK1 version.

Pics of RNs would help.

If you wanted oem by for phone & want it supplier & fitted for you, ping me a WhatsApp.

Mine has the earlier s/w so thx for the tip for upgrading. I'm happy to fit it but appreciate the info on my old A6 57 plate it didn't show any bt stuff until I updated it all and then it connected to my phone. The handbook has some phone stuff scribbled on it so I assumed it had bt. Mind you the car had factory mfsw but not now so maybe there was an airbag issue or something which meant it had the wheel swapped over...

OK updated the ENS-e and still no bluetooth so need to grab one of those now, either orig module or an aftermarket one...

Let me know what you find mate, I'm in the same boat.

I'm looking to do the same. Just returned a Connects2 adapter as it was rubbish - having to accept call on phone and then manually changing the source on the headunit which takes 3 button clicks while driving. Looks like OEM retrofit is the best solution.

Go aftermarket HUand just use voice dial, easy as that.
My head unit discovers my iPhone within by the time I've got the car in gear, then I just use voice command to dial and one button to answer.

so easy and effective.

The functionality is undoubtedly much better on an aftermarket unit, but I would love to keep the OEM look. I think the RNS-E looks so cool.

Ive ordered one of these after doing a bit of research... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bluetoot...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Will et you know how I get on - seems to have what I need to plug it in to my RNS-e. Worth buying the DVD to update - mine is now on version 650 and TMC is working...
