New VW MFD3 Satnav/DVD player/headunit Fitted

[DanGB]

Dan that looks amazing....top marks but I bet it wasnt cheap!


Edit is there any other units that work? ie have red lights and not the skoda green or VW blue

no it wasnt cheap

Notsure what your asking, but this one (VW) has red lights which match perfectly

The only thing that indicates its a VW unit is the splash screen that comes up if the unit is cold.

Ouch - I was hoping £500

Does look great though.

Any improvement on the quality of sound?

Dont think so no, the headunit was never the weak point anyway I thought.

Ta. I've got tomtom. I was more insterested in the DVD and harddrive storage it has. Silly to of me to think it would be so cheap.

Dan,

You mentioned somewhere before that you were going to create a simple guide on how to replace the original unit with a aftermarket double din affair, I don't suppose you've done this yet have you ? (i.e. removal/installation and parts needed etc....).

I think I'm going to go for this ebay unit.

I posted a thread on this asking for opinion and got no negative comments, infact I got no comments at all.

I don't currently have bluetooth or steering wheel controls so hopefully it would be a pretty straight forward swap. If I was in possession of an idiots guide I'd be a lot more comfortable right before undertaking the operation.

Cheers.

I can have mfd3 for 800 euros (new one) and mfd2 for 450 (used bud like new)

where you can find mfd3 for 800€?

im writing a guide on satnav install this weekend which will include removing the headunit

I dont really know enough about hwadunits to comment, but I wouldnt buy an unbranded unit though personally, or without reading reviews etc.

 

[murts]

dan you finally did the retro fitting of the BT ???? the spanish forum gave you any help?

 

[tommy-cupra]

I have problem with insurance company, you know here in cz its not like in uk, if you have navi like this one in car and you will park car on the bad place, 5 min and navi is gone and without insurance on the navi I am not crazy

its not problem, but it doesnt have a warranty and shipping is maybe problem

Yes fitted. I actually got all the information from a skoda website as I know the person who runs it and has written a guide. Had to adapt it a bit though.

 

[DanGB]

Which buyer did you get from ... and does this finally have FULL UK postcode search ?

Doesnt seem to have full postcode search no.
