point taken, and i shall see what darren comes  back to me with. Plse note that the £995 is actually for a refurbished one, its £1250 for a new one, but 2 and 3 years warrranty respectfully. Say i get it from Darren, it goes wrong, what comeback do i have, all due respect to Darren of course. I assume that you are suggesting this can upgrade is worth it then, if i want to add things later on?

Andrew

Lots of people have bought of Darren including myself and have never had any problems. Obviously not guaranteed but it is a risk you have to take.

The can gateway does not need to be upgraded if you have the latest FW. (it removed the battery drain issue). I am unsure if the Can needs to be updated for the RVC. As I said SteveP is your man for that.

If you do not feel confident at all im sure Darren will fit it for you (think the cost is in his thread but isnt much).

Ultimately it is down to which you want to do.

Hope this helps

Welcome to the forum  :happy2:

Can I also suggest that if fitting is a real concern (and by the sounds of it, it is), why not put the feelers out on here for someone local to come and fit it for you (for a nominal fee)....

This is one of THE most helpful forums out on the interweb  :smiley: No doubt, somebody will gladly help (although it REALLY is very easy to do - a simple swap. The hardest bit being getting the trim off, about a 10 min task if done carefully)

Save yourself £4-500. Put it to one side so that IF something goes wrong (unlikely), you can pay to have it serviced.

HTH :smiley:

If you buy one and it goes wrong, for the price you could buy another one and it would still be cheaper than hazzy days. And you could probably sell the faulty one.

Thanks to everyone who has replied, been a great help. To throw another spanner in the works, i have spoken to a company in Bradford called 'Oemretrofits', and they can do all in for £600, so more like it, and that has 3 mth warranty also, not to mention speed-camera database, so very interesting....any of you guys heard of this company??

I have yet to go home, so there might be an e-mail from Darren waiting for me!? Reference the firmware, i think they said B, i have a 2005 Golf GTi, and apparently latest V6 maps 2010....does anyone know if you still cannot enter 7 digit UK post-codes??

Regards

Andrew

cheers, is this price more like it then?? By the way, is the sound quality much better than the bog-standard factory-fitted radio/cd player??

Talk to Darren before you go to them.
