I received my new 9W7 Bluetooth controller from Steve (Euronavsolutions) today, and installed it, took me about 1 min and 37 seconds to swap the box including taking the pictures for this DIY so ... I'd say it's easy !
VAG COM is optional, and will basically enable the lowest left button to enable the voice activation, which is also already enabled when you press the largest button on your roof control panel buttons, so basically the VAG COM will add a redundant button for voice activation, if you do not code it, the steering wheel button will remain a mute button for your radio, and you will have to use teh overhead panel for the voice activation.
Anyway, here we go with the DIY,
Enjoy !!!
Step 1:
Open your passenger door (front if a 4 door)

I hope that wasn't too hard, if that was, seek professional help to install your Bluetooth system ...
Step 2:
Slide your front passenger seat all the way back, you will see the Styrofoam box where the blutooth module resides

Step 3:
Un-Velcro the Styrofoam box, it comes out very easily

Step 4:
Flip it over upside down

Step 5:
You need to disconnect the plug that goes to the 9W2 module, in order to do so, push the little black tab near the white latch and lift the white latch, the plug is now unlocked and can be removed

Step 6:
Remove the 9W2 module from the foam box, be careful not to break the Styrofoam, the module will come out. Here is a shot of both the 9W2 and 9W7 modules side by side, I wrote 9W7 on the 9W7 module so I wouldn't get them confused

Step 7:
Install the 9W7 module into the foam box

Step 8:

Step 9:
Flip the box back right side up and re-velcro it back into position, there are 2 little tabs on the tunnel/center part of the car that help position the box correctly

Step 10:
Exit the car and close the passenger side door

Step 11:
Now go sit in the driver's seat (don't forget to open the door !) and turn the ignition on, when it is on, go to the new PHONE page on the MFI, you will see this
![]()
Step 12:
Delete the current Bluetooth profile in your phone for your car, new module = new profile. Follow your phone's instructions for Bluetooth pairing, once the car is found (VW PHONE) enter the passkey 0000, and you will see this

Step 13:
Next, the page will go to the Create user profile page, select OK, your phone will be displayed, you can choose to keep that name or rename the profile (that is what will be displayed on the MFI and the RNS510 when on the phone page) I changed mine to my first name
