does the RNS510 comes with Bluetooth module? how much does it cost now?


Added on October 14, 2012, 4:18 pmquestion to all the VW gurus, with the MKVII probably coming Q1 2014 (or late 2013?), is it worth it to get the MKVI with the current year end discount?

I feel the year end discount is not enough for an outgoing model actually...

but am in big dilemma between the year end Golf TSi and next years Ford Focus...

please advise...

Bluetooth module is optional. Most VW cars doesn't come with the module.

Same here. Currently drove Civic FD facelift too. Still love my Civic interior but fall in love with GTI power & handling after test drive them.

IMO, realibility, total cost of ownership of the car, service, spare parts are very important beside the looks and specification of the car.
For the high price of the care like conti, you will not want to go to service center once a month or frequently visit service center. I have used it before and TOTALLY REGRET for conti.
You have spent so much for a car, you will want to have a peace of mind and spend the rest of money and time with your beloved family and not just use the other $ to repair the unrealibility car and spend so much time to service center.

Now many AES, cannot even drive fast for fast car unless summon is not a issue for you. Summon = $.

Owning a car is like owning a house, just that car will reduce in value. You want to stay in a house with reliability and comfort, no water linkage, no electricity off, no roof top dropping, etc. as compare to a house full of fancy and high tech things but always need to call technician or contractor to repair.
Just sharing…
T&H still the best in car in MY.

Sharing: reliability is very important. looks for those give you peace of mind. You can sleep well for T&H.
As you also knows many issue on this advance gear box or turbocharge, not only that, bad service center and lack of service center also causes you problem.

Too bad it came with the 7speed DSG. I assume this is the dry clutch gearbox. Heard so many horror stories about the 7 speed DSG. One of my friend had to replace the entire gearbox in just less than 1 year!

Will regret ! Looks for peace of mind, T&H will give you.

While I agree with the principle that reliability is very important, I can't help but get the feeling that pjkl is working for T&H.

Anyway, Sam, can you pm me the latest offer for golf gti? Thanks.

Not working for T&H, but have experience for non-reliable and reliable.
Always want to have peace of mind and spend more time with family rather than spend more time to worry, go to service center, broken down here and there or broken down in the middle of the road... waste valuable time.

Many AES, no point to waste $ to buy turbocharge while cannot speed fast. If want fast, then pay summon = burn $.

It is everyone choice...just sharing experience.

Am getting a Polo GTi headlamp to swap out my original TSI one. But, will it void the warranty? Most important is can it fit? ECU? Sockets? Everything?

I still remember when my mum use to buy a honda, accord to be exact, use for few months only already overheated. Send for fix, after that still overheat. The third time honda offer to buy my mums car and giving some good discount for other model(oh btw the sc dont even explain and not willing to explain whats the real problem with the car). Since then my mum rather buy a perdana than Honda. There are no perfect car. Its just depends on your taste and budget.

Yes its the same, with everything else in life.

So now, do you find a wife just because she is reliable and cheap or rather a wife that you love?

Hi, experience to share.
Owning a car is same like owning a software, Total Cost of Ownership, included time.
Yes, recalled, but they are responsible that is important. Reliability is not just 1 person to say but build on long time. For me, rather take a old tech, but reliable and have more time with family and friends rather take a high tech with problem and need to spend time to find spare parts and go to SC waste valuable time, $ and effort. More high tech tend to have more problem and more speed will let you more high chance of speeding and get AES summon and take your life to higher risk.

Car is just a transport and time with family is more important.
Wife and car cannot compare, one is human and another is vehicle (no life). It is just sharing, no offence to anyone. Choice is still at your hand.

Hello, even the best laid plans can go astray, just buy what you like.

My suggestion for you if you don't want hassle then don't buy car and just hire a personal taxi driver to ferry you around. I've got friends who do that. No need to waste time going SC, no need to worry about maintenance, no need to worry about AES, no need to worry about installments and at the end of the day still cheaper than owning a car.

It's just sharing, no offence to you. Choice is still in your hand too wink.gif

I do agree the reliability of japanese car compare to continental. Hence, my daily ride is T, my weekends ride is Conti. Dont go buy those 15 years old continental car, definite face problem what you mentioned.
