Any hope for me?

I too would have liked DAB, but have a reversing camera RCD510 unit instead. My hope is that VW will at some point release a unit that handles both camera and DAB (maybe even a Nav equipped one). In the meantime there are these two options...

I'm not going for it because (a) £400 for the first one is just too much to hear Radio 5 a bit clearer and have access to Talksport, and (b) in my limited experience of aftermarket upgrades to the VW oem system (Fiscon bt, Audison amps & speakers, Bitone), the chance of it turning out to be a real PITA is high.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that, come the Mk7, VW will have an oem answer that still fits our dashboard. And Mortygt140 gets hold of some!
