While we are talking Ipods and the VW connections - is there anyway to get the track names from the ipod to list on VW factory stereo when it is connected. Mine just displays it as tracks from 6 CDs? 
No you cannot get the VW audio systems to display tracks. To say the VW IPOD prep is a rip off is an understatement. It was my main reason for going to an aftermarket set-up. If VW did a set up like mine, it would probably cost £3k 
Care to detail your setup? 
I have an 80gb IPOD playing through a Kenwood DNX7200 double din head unit. The head unit will play DVD straight from the IPOD. The IPOD connectivity is fantastic and far better than any other I have seen so far. It is hyper fast at scrolling through the tracks as it uses a 2.0 USB port. You can select all the options that you can from the IPOD through the Kenwoods touchscreen, plus most often and most recently played options. There is also a touchscreen bar at one side of the screen that lets you instantly track down to any part of a list, so you don't have to scroll through 5,000 plus tracks.
In addition the Kenwood also has a hard drive based Sat Nav, DVD playback, Bluetooth handsfree (I had put in as an extra), and a reverse parking camera (also an extra and much better than reverse sensors).
Sound wise I was a little disappointed with the standard speakers and so binned them in favour of Hertz "Hi energy" component speakers up front, coax speakers in the rear and a 10" sub in the boot. An amp powers the front components and the sub. Plenty of Dynamat sound deadening throughout and it now has a top quality sound to it
