Can you make a video where exactly it will show connecting to BT and if it is required additional then let us how to do that.

Hi. Just collected my new Polo match and getting very frustrated at not being able to listen to my ipad mini playlists. The PERFECT explanation. Thank you.

Honestly thanks to your video I finally figured this out after having owned this car for 4 years. Seriously, thank you!

Thank you! I appreciate the input!

Very helpful exactly what i needed to know- Thanks!

For folks with VWs outside US, bear in mind that your car may not have the BT module with the RCD 310...thus...no phone or BT audio connectivity, even though the RCD 310 unit itslef shows the "BT Audio" on the display... I've had the same issue with my Polo.

+shreddedreams The Bluetooth module is actually separate from the radio. Until 2014 it was located underneath the passenger seat. You can try resetting it, just unplug it, wait 30 seconds, And plug it back in. That may help you out

BTW, if you pick up a, let's say a used Golf VI and it has this radio. Does it always have bluetooth like this, or do you need a handsfree kit from VW?

thank you Danny. much appreciated.

Thanks. Driving a 2013 Passat, and struggled to get my GPS to announce turns through the cars system. Found out that I have two options; Have the radio/cd running and just keep an eye on the map, or drive in silence with the turns through the speakers. Wish it were clever enough to play the direction from teh handset and the Radio too!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO

Excellent quick review and it helped me much. Does vw with this base system also have a mdi port hidden somewhere?

Hi, great video. Is there a way to show info like song name, etc? And how do I control music with handwheel buttons?

Even after activating the BT audio as shown?

Mine is polo. Now d audio is working well. Gud sharing. Thx alot.

Thank you so much! I tryed everything to connect by bluetooth but couldn't until now!

can you control the tracks and folder from the radio controllers after pairing? thanks in advance for the response

Not on cars equipped with the rcd310. However you can use the voice commands

I've been driving a Jetta for 8 years... I cannot BELIEVE I didn't know this thank you so much dude

If it has the convenience package yes. For the Jetta its in the glove box.

What is the name of the car bluetooth, I can't find it on my phone

Thanks for the response. One other question.... Have you been successful with being able to change tracks on your bluetooth device via the steering controls?

Danny, I followed your instructions step-by-step. My iPhone 5 is paired. Phone calls go through. However, the RCD 310 still doesn't detect or play music via Bluetooth. I have a 2010 Jetta TDI. Any ideas?

does the RCD 310 display metadata? Does it support A2DP?

can i use these settings for vw vento with an samsung Galaxy S3

I've got the same audio system but I'm unable to seek music tracks. Is there any fix for that?

Thanks for the info! This feature isn't really obvious. I have an iphone 6s. The best way to change tracks and control what songs to play without handling the phone is to use the "hey siri" commands. You can voice command track, artist, song, etc commands by saying "hey siri".....

Perfect. The key piece I was missing is that the device had to be playing the audio before the RCD would display the BT AUDIO in the media menu.

Is your phone already paired and operating correctly with the hands-free phone?

Can you use the next/previous song when using bluetooth?

hey. is there a way to change the soundtrack without using the phone when its connected to the bluetooth ? like with the controls on the steering?

Can you receive calls through this? And also can you control next and previous using the controls on the system?

Thanks Danny, Please help me. I saw the Bluetooth-Audio in the menu and turned it on yesterday and today I cannot get to that item in the menu anymore, I can't even scroll to the right to see it in the setup on the phone. Do you know why? How can I tell if I have bluetooth?

Is there a way I can change it from displaying "Bluetooth Audio" and change it to show me the song title and artist instead? I have the 2014 jetta basic with bt capabilities

Does anyone know how to get the steering wheel controls to skip tracks while using bluetooth?

i get the bluetooth settings option in 'setup' . does that mean its bluetooth enabled?

I believe so yes. I'd have to double check to be certain though

Can the system change songs and browse the music library over bluetooth?

i turn on the bluetooth, but my phone will not pick it up? my phone just keeps searching, what do i do ?

I know this is an older video but does anyone know how to change the display from “Bluetooth audio” to say the name of the song or is that not possible?

Great video! Does anyone figure out how to change track during BT-AUDIO streaming using multifunction steering wheel? and is there a way to see song names on RCD310 screen?

I have a vw polo 2012 blue motion. I just can't seem to hook my spotify up. I can turn bluetooth on, on my s6 and through the car speakers I hear s6 connected. but can't seem to play spotify. the only way I can is through an aux cable. but I don't want to use cables. any idea... thanks

I finally got my Spotify on here. Thank you 🙏🏿

The one down side about the Jetta 2013 is that the steering wheel controls don't work with Bluetooth. I am taking the car to the dealership tomorrow to see if they can do something

i have the base 2011 golf, no steering wheel controls. how do i pair the device?

Is there a way to change track without doing it on the phone?

Great video! Can you please just explain to me how you paired the iPhone to the VW?

@lookatcha, No RCD310 is not standard with Bluetooth, though pretty much all models other than the base models in RCD310-equipped VW's will have Bluetooth.

The reason this isn't working for most people is that the BT only works if your car has the BT module equipped. Otherwise the radio essentially doesn't have Bluetooth.

followed the exact steps on 2012 Jetta. Phone calls and navigation works fine but does not stream music. plz help!

is the bluetooth integrated, or do you need a bluetooth kit?

Danny,,,, how do u connect the phone to the Bluetooth in the first place.... i have a passat bluemotion 2010 and cant find how to connect the phone to the car... thanks

Can you tell me what the set of voice commands are for this stereo system (RCD 310) which I also have on my 2013 Volkswagen Beetle. Can I say the voice command "play music" or are such commands not allowed on this Bluetooth system?

My Radio from an VW Caddy looks similar, but i have no manual and the only thing i know about it, is that it´s also called "VW radio LOW EU UP BVX", is it all the same? Thias is marked on the left side of the radio on a sticker.

Hey there! I'm able to pair and connect over bluetooth my iphone using the VW UHV connection to take calls but when I turn on bt-audio and try and play music it just doesn't pick up at all? I saw you say that not all cars have the BT module (as I am outside of the US) but I'm assuming I must do if I've already connected. Could you provide any other troubleshooting tips? Thank-you!

Thank you very much bro

Have newly purchased Passat with two BT issues: When phone is connected and playing media other than BT, interruptions occur with each phone app notification which requires a reset to the original media and.... when playing Pandora thru BT, after each song played, player disconnects...I've found by trial that pushing the volume increase button on the steering wheel reactivates... can these issues be corrected?

Hi I have the same stereo but I don't know how to make the arrow apear or the blue tooth option appear

I can use the phone via bluetooth however after following your instructions I can't get the audio to work

You saved me, thanks

Hello. Does every RCD310 actually have bluetooth or do they just have the option in the menu? Because; i can activate bluetooth in the radio but my phone can't find it...

Thanks 😊👍

Should i be able to change tracks from the steering wheel because currently i cant?

hy , i see the bluetouth in my car and my phone phound it but he can't connected with him

How to pair for first time

does bluetooth functionality come with all rcd 310 units?

thanks bro💪🏻💚

So I did everything necessary and had Bluetooth audio playing for a good while. Then it just stopped! I have unpaired my phone and the car asks for me to pair. The BT function stopped working about the time I disconnected my aux jack. Is this somehow the reason? I wouldn't think they would be related in any way.

Thanks but why is the cable connected in earphone socket, is it only for ex: only earphone?

Thank you is very good

There is a separate Bluetooth module located under the passenger seat, if it's not there, you won't be able to connect with any Bluetooth device.

Só funciona em iPhone ou em Android funciona também??

Any ideas how to get rid of crackly AM reception on the RD310 radio ?

hi i have a 2014 jetta se with the rcd310. is their a way to retro fit bluetooth to my radio or do i have to add rcd510

Yes, it has to have the Convenience package to have the Bluetooth included.

Hi. I got a 2012 SEAT Leon. the stereo looks like this, and has the bluetooth option in the menu. However it does not advertise itself over bluetooth, so my phone can't connect to it. I had the car since new, and the radio manual does not have anything regarding bluetooth. Do you know anything about these radios shipped without this feature?

I have the same system in my car only my phone is connected with a parrat system. And if i play the music and than press media i see nothing even with bt on at settings. Do you know how i should connect it?

Do you have a video on pairing Bluetooth because that is where the challenge is for me.

Since its not US car, I dont know, but there may not be an external controls. Try pairing your phone first, I would assume that it has Bluetooth if it shows it as an option but its not guaranteed.

How do I add Bluetooth? I have same RCD310 in my car but no Bluetooth. I know I have to buy something and install it but I can't find guides online

How do you connect it or pair ??

Can you tell me please how to connect the phone to the actual stereo to play the songs

Now how do you control the music. I can stream, but can't use the RCD 310 to skip tracks.

Hi, i have a VW Polo 6R and the same radio but the BT don't work, the phone not find the radio. I've the media-in it was a problem?

How do I pair the device?

how did u pair it

I am unable to pair my phone. Do you know why this is? I don’t see an option for it anywhere.

how did u connect u r aux

Hi am from India I have bought a volkswegan vento in this I have rcd 310 but I don't have Bluetooth in this how can I connect the device into it.

I have the 2012 Volkswagen Jetta model with this stereo but when I go to menu I don't see anything you do, I see aux stuff but that's it, so confused

i can enable the BT-Audio Source but i cant find it on my Phone. Any Ideas?

How did you pair your iPhone with radio? My phone doesnt see the radio. Even my car computer doesnt show any BT option.

My Bluetooth has aways worked fine but I'd like to be able to skip tracks from the steering wheel controls. Has there been any VW or radio updates to allow that? Seems like most bluetooth speakers with controls communicate back to the phone and play/pause and SKIP.

Tuis is working only with iphone?

Do these get locked when you transfer them to a different car? Trying to install this headunit on a 2007 jetta

How do I pair the phone to the player though?...
