Sound quality is good,i`ve never been in a mk5 so don`t know how they compare,the dab is cd quality or better i`ve driven about 250 miles and only once did i lose reception for about 2 seconds,it just says no coverage no loud hissing i was abit concerned i`d be driving along with the dab up loud and suddenly it would go off and just make a very loud hiss
You tried going up the M6 between about Killington Lake and Tebay?
Bugger-all reception, do what you will.
