Spec for new GTI.

Pretty much decided on what I want with my new GTI. There are a few options left I have let to decide on. I am not sure whether I want to go for factory sat nav (discover nav) right from the factory as the option to have it fitted later here in the UK by the dealers is an option (kenwood/garmin) Oem nav. Anyone had this done or does anyone know what the different between the 2 is? I know that the factory option is £100 more expensive.

I am also not sure whether to spec the voice controls for nav and telephone. I assume the car already has a microphone somewhere as the car has Bluetooth as standard, I believe if the previous 6r has Bluetooth from factory it was just a simple coding change to enable voice controls, is this true for the 6c does anyone know? My other concern is if I don't go for factory nav and then spec voice controls and go for the dealer fitted nav option at a later date, is the voice control going to integrate with the kenwood system?

Finally I am unsure whether to spec the electronic climate control. Paying £380 to have the air kept at a constant temperature seems a lot to me considering it is only single zone climate control at that from what I have read? I'm sure it looks nicer within the cabin but is that worth £380?

I also notice that the GTI does not come with adaptive cruise control or city emergency braking, is that true? It seems the blueGT does and it seems weird that the GTI wouldn't.

I am also wondering whether to spec the sports performance pack. can someone give me advise on the aspects of this?

Sorry for all the questions!
