What head unit?
« on: January 26, 2012, 01:55:33 pm »
Hi, I've brought an 07 gti but I'm yet to pick it up. Im quite/very new to all this, rns, rcd, and all the lingo associated with it.

Was there a particular basic standard model stereo fitted to the golfs and if so what would mine likely be? It has a 6cd changer in the armrest if that helps. The reason being is I want iPod connectivity and when Looking round the car I couldn't see it so I want to sort something out to fit myself.

I know I'm being impatient and I should probably wait to get the car but I just want to find out more about it so I can start planning stuff lol.

I bought the Kenwood and I'm really happy with it. The touchscreen can  be a bit tricky to use on the move but I'm sure all touchscreen units are the same!

Are there any OEM iPod connection units I can just plug into the standard stereo for now as I don't want to fork out another grand after I just brought the car. That does look nice though, but I can't afford it right now

IF you search for MDI Kit you'll get what you're looking for, probably the cheapest option

No it doesn't, if you look at the bottom of that link it shows the accessories for the it and there's a choice of 2 different DVB tuners amongst other things
