The wife and myself finally decided on a GTI , what is the 'basic' spec?

armrest is very easy to fit yourself. It cost me about £190 from vag parts and took me half an hour. It adds to the comfort and also makes the interior look complete.

The highline is in my mind essential. I think the black looks okay on the 17"s, and depending on angle, actually prefer it.
I wouldn't pay extra for the VW ipod kit. It is lousy, gives no track info, only 5 playlists and only allows you to advance the tracks one at a time. There are much better after market solutions. I have the harmon kardon and love it.

We have a new Harman Kardon DVD Player at home. Extremely expensive but the sound

Hi 08micsta, I meant the Drive+Play ipod kit. Connects to the cd input via a connect2 connection, with the ipod lead in the glovebox. If you want photos though I can get some, I have the display unit in the cubby hole behind the gear lever and the control wheel on the armrest alongside the handbrake.

Oh alright... And how does the setup sound? Is it better than the VW Ipod Prep kit? Becasue the Vw Ipod Prep sounds  it tinny and there is littel bass. We are running ours with a Ipod Nano with bass boost on adn when the car is still then it stunning. But driving is useless.

Where can you buy them? Im from South Africa so my dad may be interested in one. How difficult is it to install?

Thank you
Mike

It installs either via a wired fm transmitter that "cuts" into the aeriel lead or you can put it into the head unit via the aux input.

The fm is far superior to wireless, but still didn't do it for me. I used a connect2 lead to put it into my rcd300 via aux input. Sound quality is very simialr to CD. I found it incredibly easy to install, most worrying was cutting into the earth lead, everything else was fine.

I have the control box under the central tunnel, hopefully you can see everything else in the photos.
