single din head unit help leon mk2 57 plate

Looks good, Have you got the Bluetooth option and a larger MFD display

no i don't. but this Pioneer headunit comes with bluetooth + mic and once it's all set-up, it will recognise your phone once you turn it on. This HU is much better than the SEAT/VW MFD3 IMO.

the price quoted on the seat.co.uk car configurator for Multimedia Navigation System is £1595. i paid a bit less than that and got FULL postcode search +loads more

 

[chrisboyle999]

mfd3 is obtainable (brand new, still in the box) for just over £700.
rumour has it v3 maps supports full postcode search.

don't you then have to program it with VAG-COM?

Nope plug and play

straight swap for the mp3 headunit.
i think the mfd2 had many more compatability 'issues'.

I see Car Audio Direct are now selling a leon mk2 facia adaptor.

Although the picture on their site doesn't work, a but of searching the make/model brought up this

http://www.celsusice.co.uk/product_details.aspx?Product_code=AFC5245L


Any idea how or if it's different from the dealer supplied one considering the price difference?

the dealer supplied adaptor will match your interior as they require you reg no in order to get the correct colour. I'm not sure of the colour match on the above product and that's only for double-din units, if you've got a single din, you have to pay £28 for the pocket!!! it's cheaper to get dealer sat-nav adaptor+Mk5 Golf fascia adaptor(from ebay(I got one for £12 and that came with single din pocket)) for single-din units.
