IMPORTANT: The mentioned BT-option in the video is also available if your radio has no pre-configuration for mobile connection. So you can change the option in the menu, but it won't activate the bluetooth option, because it's not available in your radio. You have to buy a new radio with mobile connection or buy bluetooth adapter for 30 bucks, which is connected on the back of the radio. This option is pretty confusing, because it's available but not supposed to work.
Hi, I have a Golf 6 Plus Match with this RCD310 radio. In the console between the front seats I found the AUX for 3.5 plugs, but where can I find the connection for a bluetooth adapter? Is It hidden on the back of my radio?
Under the passenger seat is the Bluetooth module box, this is what picks up the Bluetooth, you can reset it by pulling out the leads and plugging them back in. BUT.....you will see BT-Audio on the headset but you may not have the parts to make the Bluetooth work
Thank you! I just bought a 2013 jetta TDI and it has that unit, I was wondering if it had bluetooth audio! I'm suepr happy as its a cool feature, however I bought the car for the fuel economy. So this is just an awesome bonus!
Mine says that it's activated but still doesn't appear .. I have setup media - activate Bluetooth audio and there is a tick by it but the BTaudio button is still faded out on the main menu
I have a vw polo 2012, and unfortunately you can't use Bluetooth on smart phone, yes the phone pairs for calls via Bluetooth but not for music like Spotify unfortunately. I just bought a seperate Bluetooth adapter that goes onto my cigarette lighter. Only other option you have is to change the radio for a new one which I'm prob going to do tbh

I think the option is build in in every VW in the operating system but bluetooth itself is an option wich you need to buy before you can pair your phone
_noreason_ that happened to me yesterday I had to mess around with it. For some reason i could still connect my phone to Bluetooth but the option wouldn’t come up so I connected my phone and turned Bluetooth on and off till it showed up. Who knew it would be so hard to play music in your car /:
I have the settings, turned it on, shows up discovered in my phone and also connected once to my fone showing that it connected to my phones Name, and then after that I couldnt get it to connect anymore??! I don't have steering wheel buttons so maybe this is why?

Hey bro! I have a problem with this model, well my phone conects perfectly with the car but when I try to play a song or something it doesn't work, only works for phone calls and stuff like that, what can I do?
after ride with a paired phone I turn the car off (Golf 6, rdc310). (Played radio or radio off.) Few seconds after i turn the key off, phone starts to play music. Does this with samsing gt i8160 and iphone 4. Both phones worked without flaw with bt audio in different cars. Seems to be some problem with how BT is implemented in rcd310. Does anyone came with sollution to that?
i was able to connect my phone and play media via bt and one day i just couldn't anymore, bt-audio source is set on "on", i unpluged the connector under the passenger's seat a 100 times and still nothing
