Fitting a 2011 Alpine CDE-133BT head unit to my VW T4 Camper because CD player with Bluetooth

So wanted a new car stereo for the Camper but it has to have a CD player and Bluetooth, not common these days but back in 2011 Alpine had a CDE -133BT unit for sale so I got one. Surely Bluetooth is Bluetooth isn't it!!!! well let's find out :)

9:40 bro are you 100percent sure about this??

Very strange there was a chat thread on here about the head unit now working, it needed a confirmation both ends as well as the existing Bluetooth connections needing to be deleted to allow this. Looks like the person who helped out has deleted their profile and therefore comments. So to confirm it is working :)
