fair point lol..

trying to find one with usb but not on the front, my current one has connection at back with cable so can hide memory stick away

im saving for this one... http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/produc ... 11755.html

its a lot for something that dosent even play cd's lol

Here's mine.

I got it from eBay for £134 inc. postage: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT

You can change the light colour to match your interior lighting. Fills the gap and has a sort of OEM+ look.

Now i'm gutted! I literally just brought the Sony MEX38...blahblahblah last weekend and this one looks mintfor the money!

Nevermind, good purchase all the same but screen is a little small and fliddy controls, actually think it makes it more dangerous to drive than before!

Ide actually looked at these already, is the usb on a cable to back or straight into the front? if it has usb that is

you can see the usb lead plugged in on the picture lol

Im thinking about a double din. Need one with full speed ipod. Would love a proper VW one. Guess say a mk5 golf one wouldn't fit though?

Factory looking or flashly?!

looks like an auxilary jack???

Hi, Yeah. You can get the same head unit with a USB port (which is on the front, next to the AUX jack) but I opted for the cheaper one and bought an iPod connection lead (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT) that plugs into the back and gives me full control of my Pod form the head unit controls (the right-side round knob is a sort of joystick).
I don't like stuff hanging out the front. Gets in the way of the cup holders (I have two) and the gearknob.
I had a standard AUX cable plugged into the front in that photo as I was still waiting for my iPod lead to be delivered.
I'll get a photo of it in daylight and upload it tomorrow.

I'm having a similar debate myself. So far I've just been considering the MFD from our era and some kind of iPod connectivity kit. Dension or Xcarlink or whatever it is. I like the OEM look but the MFD from that era is a bit dated now... I saw something in PVW a few months back about a company called inphase audio who had made head units that have a VW OEM look, tons of functionality and at a fairly decent price. Unfortunately, there's nothing on their website about it it's been a few months since then too. I'll have to hoke it out!
