Use the Search tool - there's loads of info in here and (I think) the Mk5 section.

Das, who is going to code it for you? You need someone with VAG.com to activate the phone kit (2 minute job, ticking a box on a computer screen).

Are you reasonable competent mechanically? Got torx bolt sockets/drivers?

Vw are going to activate it for me and I have the torx screws but I'm not exactly clued up with electrics

Mate, i might suggest getting them to fit it for you if you're not sure.  For someone mechanically minded it looks very straight forward so if you can't figure it out by looking you might be better off paying them (no more than 1 hour labour though!!). Not saying your NOT mechanically competent though fella!!

If you fancy it yourself i'lll dig out my old thread on fitting it and post in here.

Cheers

OK, there's some info here

First, remove headunit facia plate (I used a blunt cutlery knife). Prise the cover off gently as it snaps into place.
Now remove headunit with the four torx bolts
Now unplug the headunit, plug in the fiscon, plug the leads back into the fiscon plug
Wrap the bluetooth box in bubble wrap to stop it rattling when positioned behind the headunit.
Plug the mic into the box and route the cable down through the dash cavity and locate mic where you please.
Bolt it all back together, probably need to recode stereo as well as set up the phone on vag.com

Vw are fitting it for me but they said we never seen it before and we don't know how to fit it ?

VW are fitting it and they can't figure out how?? I'm sure a decent mechanic will have it in in 15 mins.

As for the mic, I just slipped mine inside the door seal rubber. Primitive but it works...

Try Googling for "Fiscon installation manual" and you should come across a couple of pdf guides. Had mine fitted today, but it doesn't come with any kind of owner's manual. Fortunately the fitter knew his stuff and we had it set up and synced to my phone in 10 minutes.
