Would you still reccomend one now Damien, after a while of ownership? Any afterthoughts or regrets?

That's great mate, can you confirm yours is in a mk5 GTI? I'm getting a lot of sellers telling me they don't fit?

I know, crazy! I even emailed Eonon & they refused to confirm that there model would fit, stating that it was for 2007>
Even though I've read reviews of them in MK5 gti's! All I wanted was to confirm what warranty was included.

Im thinking of getting one, how compatable is it with older canbus? I have an 05 golf gt tdi that won't work with an rns315 giving massive battery drain.
Is this the one? http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/201400186007

Does this hu have DAB?
I'm looking at a version that appears to, although it looks like you do this via an in-line USB receiver.

Otherwise, great right ups.   Convincing me to buy one!

It doesnt have DAB but as its an android head unit you can download one from the app store and you can get DAB as long as you have internet signal, i hotspot from my phone

I had one, it was very impressive the list it promised..
Sat nav, android, BT, the whole lot, unfortunately it didn't really "work" in real life, ie when you stop & turn the car off with Spotify it used to re start? I mean that's not really good enough if you can't use it like a CD player. Sound quality isn't great compared to premium brands obviously. It's such a shame as its all there, but it's just not quite the finished item IMO, but if you can live with the niggles then there a bargain!

Got myself a Joying branded Android HU a few weeks ago...reasonably impressed with it so far :)

DAB is on my list, but it looks like it takes a bit of messing about. You need to buy a particular USB DAB tuner with the right type of chip, then buy an app called Wavesink. The interface looks horrible though.

Damn.  I hoped it would be easier.
I've had mk 7 Golf hire cars recently and love the DAB set up there, will look into it.
