Hi All,

Finally picked up an RNS-E for the beast and now before I install wanted to ask a question to determine if I need the bluetooth module or not:

Can the RNS-E head unit be hooked up to the onstar mic to provide cell call' through the stereo speaker system without the bluetooth module?

Thanks,

You need the Bluetooth module in order to interface with your phone. Unless you have a motorola v60 still and a cradle in your 6...

Thanks, JSRS6

LOL on the v60 got rid of mine years ago...the MY 2000 JagXJR I used to own had a Motorola Timeport/Startac cradle in the center console.

Please advise if either of these bluetooth units will be compatible with the RS6:

First one will not work (it is a VW RNS-510 unit)

Second one will have limited compatibility (address books not shown on unit) and not work with all newer phones. It is also a Euro unit, so it is hard coded to expect a British accent I dont recommend this unit.

You want a 8P0-862-335-J or newer BT unit for newer smartphones.

Here is a list of RNS-e compatible BT units and functionality. You dont want a Euro unit as I mentioned, unless you want to speak with a British accent!
