You should be able to pick up an RNS 510 for reasonable money nowadays and they're dead easy to fit.

There cheapish on ebay but wouldn't trust that to work or arrive with no issues with maps etc etc, £1200 fitted at my local place.
But wouldn't i need the bluetooth module under the seat regardless of the head unit ?

The problem i have is being in sweden makes it a pain using ebay, plus i dont know what code bluetooth module etc etc i need and never know who i can trust on there. Installation isn't a problem as i have built cars from the ground up in the past I just don't want the hassle of incorrect, copy or crap parts.

Unless someone knows a trusted seller  :smiley:

There are some with built in Bluetooth and they'll integrate with steering wheel controls etc too.

Even VW dealers in the UK stock aftermarket ones that are 'officially approved' so the easiest thing to do would be to find a cheaper source of those units!
