I've seen a few different ones for sale on-line, but it's hard to judge the quality.:huh:

Ideally I'd like one that has a tray which can be located in either the top or bottom slot, but I want one that matches the VW plastic as well as possible.

Which one would you recommend, or buy?

Cheers. :)

VW sell their own that matches perfectly (it should do!). The part number is 1K0857058A1QB.

Yes, the VW one is the best match I've seen so far for single din applications (or two single dins together as you are going for emeye!). I personally haven't seen a VW with 2 single din units using the double din slot :undecided:

Will this one take 2 single din units or is the cubby permanent?

MY VW one is a perfect match the dash and I can confrim that you CAN NOT put 2 single dins in it.
