Hi All,
I've just joined in search of a Mk5 but I've got some questions, I did search but wanted some opinions that I couldn't find.
The first is about audio. I've seen the various options and I've seen iPod integrations from VW. But it looks like to get full control of the iPod (search any track, all playlist etc) then the standard head units come up a bit short, even with Sat Nav - is this correct?
In my current car I have full integrated SatNav and fully featured iPod integration, as well as bluetooth. My feeling is trying to recreate this with the standard VW offering I can't replicate it - so going aftermarket is best and to get something like an Alpine with full iPod integration, run a Parrot for Bluetooth, and either get a flip out screen for the head unit to get nav, or just stick with a decent portable unit? Does that sound fair?
Plus I'm assuming the VW nav is much like the BMW's that it's not really got much on offer above a TomTom anyway? Apart from a lack of wires to hide...
If thats the case are their any issue with going aftermarket in a Golf. I've fitted anything from head units to full systems before so thats not the issue, just wanted to see if the Golf is a bit 'unique'?
I'm thinking this should also make finding cars easier rather than limiting myself to cars with Nav only
Thanks all
Paul
Hmmm, just seen there is an audio section - how do I move the post?
