The earlier mk6s had the blue backlit screen and the later cars have the black screen to bring it up to date with the screen between the dials. There may well be firmware differences between the models.
How South West are you? I'm in Devon if you want to try your MP3 in my car, or my phone in your car to see if there is a fault with your unit. I also have VCDS if you want to check the coding is set up properly from the factory.
