lol i agree it looks good ,seems as if the gti weve bought has a few toys so im happy 

You won't be disapointed it is a cracking car and gets better with age, had mine nearly 2 years now and still love it, and i get bored easily with cars

Looks a nice spec - you'll be very happy with that although Neil is slightly wrong - Black is the fastest colour 

Back on topic. I added BT to mine - module, mike and cables all bought off ebay - total cost was around £130. Fitted it myself and just got the phone enabled in VCDS by one of the guys on here.

Let me know if you need anymore info.

Was told by my dealer that the 2011 models don,t have the sharks fin on the roof any more as the antenna is built into the rear window, as I specced it on mine

No sharkfin ariel on roof for phone kit so it won't have bluetooth ?

Now I'm probably being thick here, but how does the phone in your pocket connect to the aerial on the car? I would have thought the roof fin is for the sat nav and/or possibly DAB and the rear window aerial is for the radio.

My VW Bluetooth kit uses the phone to call so uses the iPhone aerial.

You can get aerials for the kit itself but this only works for the rsap type where the unit uses your sim but calls from the unit itself. Hope that makes sense?

When i picked my car up it had the sharkfin and i didn,t order Nav or DAB just ordered premium phone kit, as said above the stereo unit makes the call by copying the sim card via bluetooth 
i now have the RNS led version with Nav but it is not connected to the sharkfin it has its own little gps reciever that sits inside the dash or stuck to the windscreen 

I'm prob talking bollocks but it's something like that

if i buy this kit is this all i need to do the job or will i require a garage to activate the steering wheel controls ?  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Golf-Mk6-Touareg-Scirocco-Premium-Bluetooth-kit-/370457240275?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_GPSSystems_GPSSystems&hash=item5640f8e2d3
