By far the hardest part of the install was running the mic cable. You'll already have that done, so the rest should be quite easy. I'm not sure what all the differences in features are between the old unit and the 9w7, but if one of them is voice control is you want to enable the mic button on the steering wheel (assuming it isn't already done) you'll need to make the necessary changes using VCDS.

Thanks but I did look under both front seats. I suspect the US bluetooth is a factory option...

Yeah, I've seen reports of both. I ended up buying the foam cover from the US as part of an order for something else anyway, so if I can put it under the seat, I will

Pepe, I just bought the 9W7 today from the guy in Spain. Could you please give me a link to the website you bought the Foam Cover from and also a partnumber ?

Pepe, Have you had a chance to put your install guide together yet ?

I used cable ties to hold it in place to prevent any potential noises/rattles. The cabling connects into the stereo connection, a couple of passthrough mic connections, then the mic cable gets run behind the dash up the a-pillar across the roof to the mic housing. SHould be able to do it all yourself without too much hassle, the cables are all ready to plug in. You'll need a T20 screwdriver to get the stereo out, and a T25 screwdriver to remove the a-pillar trim.

Syd - If yours is a Mk6, can you please explain the Mic Passthrough (& possibly point me to the wiring diags) ?

Shweet.... It is under $400 which is pretty reasonable considering the price of the other units available online.

Any of the US parts stores should be able to get that for you. I got mine from vwpartsdepartment.com but ECS should have it too. You could give that number to a local VW parts department too, but they'll probably have to get it from Singapore and it won't be cheap (if you're only ordering 1 thing, that's probably cheaper than getting from the US though).
