^^^ Good point 182_blue I forgot about that (probably because I have never even tried a DVD video in mine  :embarassed:).

PS - Is the film Hot Fuzz?  :undecided:

Picture does look very good.  :smiley:

I wish they did the dynaudio stuff for the Golf like they do on some other models as I bet that would sound great with videos.

I'm really tempted to buy one of these now. Do you need the highline computer or MFSW to use this?

do they just replace the useless mfd2 unit like for like, or do you require an intimate knowledge of automotive electrics and panel removal and replacement? :smiley:

They are a direct replacement for the MFD2 (and all standard headunits) but as per the pics from 182_blue you need to remove the vents above and the plastic trim around the face first then the headunit is held in place with four torx's screws.

Have a look in the maintenance section at the nokia car kit install, that shows the steps for tking the headunit out.  :smiley:

You will be glad you did once you install it  :cool:

Once you have it set-up PM me your address and I will send you an update to put the speed camera POI's on the navi map.

Result - now seroiusly thinking of going down this route and replacing my MFD2 DVD unit.

SteveP, does this update give audible warnings of the speed cameras or is it just the visible display. very cool, either way.
