Got mine second-hand from PASHKA - on this forum - I recommend this seller; very helpful.
I also needed an update on CanBus gateway to fit this to a 2007 Edition 30 (prevents battery drain issues- at an additional £30).
Fitting is simple, other than pulling cable for the DAB aerial.
much cheaper for a DAB unit, than a VW 500 series.
Notable improvement in sound quality over my original RCD 300 6CD/FM/AM unit.
Disadvantage - seems to be that I cannot (yet?) integrate with my OEM MFS - so have lost mute & volume control functions...a little disappointing. Seems the 500 series is ok with this?
