2008 Polo - No MP3??

[Chuck]

G'day mate.

I would hazard a guess that all of the polos have the same loom at the back of the head unit, so you could probably swap in an RCD200 with MP3 that someone on here has pulled out of their GTI. If you wanted to take a punt at the dealer the new edition/ pacific models have an mp3 unit, so you may be able to squeeze them for one, considering they made a point that the car was coming with an mp3 head unit.

If you want something a little better quality, there's plently of Alpine/ Kenwood/ Pioneer after market units that will sound better and have much better ipod support than the VW adaptor (I have an Alpine CDA9887 on my to do list). A few of the guys on here have aftermarket units, and I dont think you lose much in the way of functionality, except maybe the auto volume up/down thing. There's piccys on here somewhere of what they look like.

Cheers,
