1) CR - more reliable than the PD it replaced

2) No I'm pretty sure it's an optional extra on all spec levels.

3) about £100 - I have compiled 2 guides at the top of this section - the OEM one is the way to go IMO. I can help with installation if needed.

It's not as bad as it seems and can be easily installed by a novice - https://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/s...d.php?t=136956

4) both but there's too many white cars now - so black everytime. The phantom black looks ace in the black edition.

5) Very happy with my 2009 Sport - no trouble at all in 9 months and 20k miles bar normal service items and a few dealer inflicted problems in the early stages of ownership - fine now though.

I disagree tbh, about £100 very unlikely indeed given I've done this countless times, if you want the most compatible, which if you have a fairly recent model of handset, as older BT modules can have issues with newer handsets, so you'll need latest release which are 8P1 modules.

maybe a bit optimistic with the £100 but I managed my AA module, wiring loom and mic for £115

I thought Bluetooth was standard on Black Editions

White or brilliant red

It was standard for 'a while' if I recall then it became an optional extra again.
