I got rear parking sensors fitted by a local auto electrician for £200. Painted carbon grey too to match the bumper.Audible beep system which is all I wanted.

Defo the cloth interior it is so classy looking and I think will be better for resale than the leather. Add to that the fact that you have £1500 to buy your upgraded stereo.  I have the rcd510 with dynaudio and it is a superb piece of kit.

Like others have said you can pick up an RNS510 from fleabay (just make sure its a trusted seller) I have brought mine over from my mk5 and have had it about a year and paid just £700 iirc. Best investment i have made by a long way.

Have also updated the firmwear twice so its now running as a version C (latest version) with Speed Limits of the road your on also :grin:

Also installed the fiscon bluetooth earlier today which works seemlessly with the touch screen.

It just needs vagcom to work with the mfsw and mfd. Once thats done = me a happy bunny + lots of money saved :grin:

Forget about retrofitting leather - no chance. (Unless you want to change all of the seats, big, big £££)

Personally I find leather too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer although it does look and feel very nice.
(This has been discussed to death before and is of course a personal choice)

I just love the jacara cloth, it always reminds me of my old mk1.

It was very easy... i just watched :grin:

tbh it didnt look that hard, but i just didnt want to break anything. Seem to be getting a little feedback from it at the moment, but will wait until I have worked the vagcom on it to see if that sorts it out. :smiley:

Are they an option in the UK?! We get front & rear sensors standard here.
