Hello,
Next week I will be receiving a Passat company car.
It is a 2.0tdi SE with convenience pack in Metallic Black.
I'm looking forward to getting the car and I'm quite interested to see if I notice a difference from the BMW 530d which I had previously. I used to average 40 MPG on my daily commute with the BM which was the 3.0ltr Sport Auto so hopefully the 2.0ltr Passat will improve on this.
Would really like your advice on two mods which I will be making shortly after receiving it.
Ipod and Bluetooth.
Rooting around ebay there seems to be two types available:
This one:

and this one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Factory-iPOD-Interface-Adaptor-Kit-VW-Golf-Passat-Polo_W0QQitemZ330159859258QQihZ014QQcategoryZ3293Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
Does anyone have any experience of these two kits with respect to features and ease of fitting?
I would also like to have fully integrated bluetooth handsfree. From what I have been reading, the parrot kit seems to be the best available.
As I said, I'm getting the car sometime next week and will post details/pics then.
Look forward to being on the forum.
