2010 Jetta rcd510to rns510 radio mod with a problem

[williamgd2]

I did the radio swap fom the factory rcd 510 to a brand new fully updated rns510 and did the coding and the steering wheel controls and other features work great except for the voice command feature, The mic button does try to control the unit but it doesn't hear or reconize the command and I have tryed all the right commands. does anyone know what could fix this? It is a option I would really like to have if possible. Thank You

Which Bluetooth module do you have? You may need to swap in a 9W7

Toeball I don't know which bluetooth I have I will have to look but the unit responds to the mic button but doesn't hear or recognize any commands.The dealer who sold me the unit says I can rerout the mic wire from the bluetooth to the rns510 and use the mic out on the rns510 to the mic in on the existing bluetooth. Unless someone who really knows that won't work thats what I plan on doing. I went to check your link out but its dead.

Did the existing sharkfin antenna work for GPS?

I'm not sure if the sharkfin is different if you have nav from the factory but there's no wiring for it anyways. The solution is to add an aftermarket antenna under the dash. It takes 5 seconds to stick it under there vs. running wire to under the headliner so I wouldn't recommend using a sharkfin even if it did work. The aftermarket antennas are really cheap too, like $5-10 so it's well worth it.

I have found numerous sites that sell these, any recommendations for a source?

Sell what, the RNS or the antenna? Check out mfd3.com, a site sponsor for any VW nav related accessories
