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
