Pairing an iPhone with a newer car

I cannot pair my iPhone 4S with the phone system in my 3 year old (59 plate) Tiguan. The local VW dealer advises that the bluetooth module will have to be replaced - cost £380. Are there any cheaper alternatives than this? Thanks for any help you can give.

Typical VAG. The £380 you have been quoted is the cheap answer. Had it been a FIAT you could simply have downloaded the new pairing codes for phones not already in the system. iPhone 4s do pair readily with the latest BMW Bluetooth.

Decent SUV with diesel automatic option. Comfortable seats. Escape version capable off-road. Optional Park Assist works well. Much better from September 2011 facelift.
