Default Yes to all, but the OEM parts are $$$ Cha Ching

There is site somewhere that focuses on exactly what you are asking about...some Nav+ site.

Good Luck

Default You can retrofit a RNS-E (nav) into the B7. Choices are either sellers from Navplus.us, where

packages are about $1400-$1500. There are some reputable sellers on eBay that sell units as well (flashed with US software, same as sellers from Navplus). Those are a little less pricey, about $1000-$1200 which include the DVD, antenna, adapters, etc.

<a href="http://stores.vagnav.com/Detail.bok?no=16">Bluetooth</a> package is $850 for just parts alone. You could probably install it yourself but if not, expect to pay a little for labor.

Default Definitely with RNS-E if you have a double-DIN radio slot. Otherwise, not so sure.

<a href="www.navplus.us">NavPlus.us</a> explains the complete conversion. It really helps if you have the red and white MFD/DIS.

Neither the nav nor the Bluetooth is as good as what you'd get from, say, a Garmin c550. But it is nice to have everything integrate between the radio, the wheel and the display.
