Baz,

But i think people are waiting for delivery so no reviews as yet.

Direct from manufacturer in China, using Paypal. Just emailed them and asked if they'd sell direct - it was no problem.

Here are some direct links to my more useful posts about the unit, to save you reading through the 62 page thread over there!

Have there have been any issues with these units? Have had a read of the links and all seems to be ok, but just wondering if anything has cropped up? Like with obtaining/running software etc. And it's a free bump for the thread!

I haven't had any problems with the unit itself - if you read through the threads on golfmkv you will see a couple of people have, but it mainly appears to be poor soldering on the supplied wiring loom/iPod cable. I haven't had any software problems.

I have made a couple of improvements, such as relocating the Bluetooth microphone to the OEM position next to the map lights, and connecting up a small circuit to match the button lighting to the rest of the car. Most people wouldn't bother - I'm just a bit of a perfectionist. I've also relocated the GPS antenna to the windscreen above the mirror (in the shaded part), so that it is not obvious to passers by but still provides good reception.

Since the above post it has now also become clear that Waywell are not actually the manufacturer. It is manufactured by chinese company Audio Sources, their model number is AS-7301.
