I only recently discovered that my Scirocco has a 6 disc changer, I've never used the CD player, ever.

But single cd payer in the glovebox is as much use as a chocolate teapot.

Will a six disc changer be possible retro fitted?

You say you would have liked the sat nav, but don't want a single CD player in the glove box.  Does the standard stereo not have the single CD player in the glove box regardless?  I don't think ordering sat nav makes any difference.

Yes, for the UK at least, all of the MK7 platform infotainment units utilize a CD / DVD drive that is glove box mounted (even the Nav versions). No versions (for the UK) have a CD / DVD slot on the head unit itself.  The part that most people think from photographs is a CD slot in the fascia, is actually the infra-red proximity bar that detects the hand movement towards the unit.

In fact the touch screen unit in the dash is just that (with nothing behind it), see below. All the electronics, amp, tuner CD drive etc are in the unit contained in the glovebox.

It's in the little section behind the gear stick.  It's quite handy as you can cover your iPhone/iPod by closing the cover and the surface has a rubber lining to stop it moving about too much.

From what I've seen it look like it is in the little compartment that flips up at the bottom of the dash, in front of the gear stick.

Excellent stuff, thanks chaps.  That's a much better place than on the previous golf, nice and easy.  Now we just have to hope they provide the lead/lightning adapter in time  :rolleyes:

I know everyone's answered above, but I thought a little picture wouldn't go astray ?

That's very interesting about the fascia bit being just that.
Wonder how long til some clever person works out how to run the bigger (pro) screen with the lesser spec discovery nav until connected? hmmmm...
