I have a mk6 Golf GTD with RCD 510 including reverse camera.

All the buttons are there for the phone system but no Bluetooth module under the seat.

What's the cheapest way of having a professionally installed Bluetooth system that will integrate with the head unit and allow Bluetooth streaming of music?

There are plenty of places that do the full vw retrofit for 350-400 quid

It's not cheap but it fully integrates

Alternatively google fiscon that also fully intergrates but instead of It saying BT on the menu it says Fiscon BT I think

Regardless you need a module, mic, loom and will need coding in VCDS

If you want the OEM module and want it under the seat you also need the foam insert to fit it to

TBH when I was looking a Bluetooth module, loom, mic cable and foam insert was over 250 quid on eBay. I got mine supplied and fitted and coded for 369 was not worth the effort since the eBay sharks have ramped up the part prices for anything german

Bluetooth modules are around £150 and that tends to include the loom and Mic cable.
Ebay prices tend to be inflated, but on Facebook and owners club forums are where the savings are.

I certainly agree for £369 is not a bad price fully fitted, coded etc.
