Unsure on the sound quality, but a good price.

the only decent oem style unit i would reccomend is the zenec it is specifically designed for the uk market and also you get a full uk warranty

Well before going nuts over the Waywell, have a look at this -

Gets a luke warm reception over on mk5gti.co.uk

£350-odd. For a reason.

I've been looking at the Pioneer 4100DVD - no sat nav, but TomTom XL will sort that out (and a darn bit cheaper than paying for an F700/900bt)

personaly i am not a fan as it has quite a small screen compared to the f900 etc

it does look nice and is what im looking for but £1400 is bit more than i wanted to pay lol

agreed it is very expensive
look at a kenwood dnx5240bt for example bigger screen better sat nav faster start up

then add the facia and the canbus adapter and your still around £500 better off compared to the pioneer
