My understanding is any aftermarket head unit will cause battery drain if you have not got an upgraded canbus

I'm pretty sure that unit will not be seen by the canbus if you scan the car with it in so battery drain should not be an issue.

btw You should have posted this in this forum http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/board,19.0.html for more experienced help
