I collect my B6 this week.

It only has the 300 basic stereo.

What upgades do you guys recommend?

Sat-Nav would be nice but not essential.

Budget of around £800

Cd Changer would be nice perhaps.

I'm upgrading the speakers on mine (RCD500) to 16.5cm components which should give the sound a bit more depth and clarity. It's not bad now but lacks depth.

Thats probably the cheapest thing.

Also, a lot of us seem to have put an Ipod lead on. Very cheap and easy to do.

Mine's got the "monsoon" audio pack which includes uprated speakers, and amp. The sound quality is very good, I've allways thought the sign of a good system is when it can play "quiet" music loud (if that makes sense) which needs great clarity.

The car is definitely capable of great sound unlike an old Octavia I had which no matter what i changed the sound was still a bag of nails. Some cars have great acoustics, some just don't.
Some people on the US forums seem to put Dynamat inside the front doors which I'm told helps further with sound quality.
