Bluetooth, usb, app integration, good amp and eq, plus you can customise colour to how you want it

You won't get anything with satnav thats any good for anywhere near that money tbh.

I'd get that and a cheap satnav

I bought my car with this one already fitted, didn't pay much attention to it initially but it's actually very good.
Sound is good and I particularly like how it streams music automatically from my phone and calls go through it for safe driving, it had 2 massive buttons accept/decline so even with coilovers you can't miss it
The sat nav on my phone also speaks through the stereo which I like.
Usb lead on the back which I've routed into the glove box after I fitted my heated seat switches, i used to have it mounted to the blank
I think it's a good price for what it offers

Also the colours for the buttons match the golf dash although there isn't many because it's touch screen

I have an Alpine CDE-W235 Double Din Headunit.

Fits nice and flush in the console and allows connectivity for Bluetooth and ipod etc.

I just bought it for the CD player and radio and that it looked nice.

I kept the OEM speakers as recommended by Chris (imageworx) and that was all.

Happy enough and does the job for my ample needs.
