I have noticed that atleast 50% of the ones on ebay seem to be refurbished/2nd hand units from lithuania.

feedback i had received from a guy who retrofitted one was the version A didn't work with his mfsw, the version B did, version B was made from november 2008

only come accross one car so far on the rocco forum where one guy has had to have his unit replaced due to the navigation system simply not working

few guys have picked them up off fleebay and seem quite happy

Looks something like this?



Red - I guess this is the date of Manufacturer?
Yellow - Hardware/Software version?
Geen - Part Number

Version B better apparently (so it goes on the VWNavi forum, people are always hunting for B-spec mainboards). I have a Version B in my car, but I've no idea what the difference is; I'm just spreading speculation, rumour, and hearsay.

I have been told that the only difference is that the version B supports video out. The A does not.

Pazz is correct -  FYI this is what they replied when I enquired a few weeks back about the different versions:

Version B is the newer unit and the only major difference is that B has video out option in case you ever want to add rear screens in the future, although you would still need an external interface to do it. Other than that, they're really aren't any differences but since you've got a choice, I'd say go for a version B.

Think I may of found a bargain! £550 cash for a 2nd hand refurbed unit and the chap lives 20 mins away so I can give it a close inspection before handing the money over. He says he will even show me it working, loading DVD's etc.

users on VW navi have reported that when you update to version B (from an A unit) that the video out option will work
