Right, I've got a 2.0 TDI DSG Elegance on order, delivery next month . The good news is that the boss in doors has finally relented and agreed to upgrading the stereo. My choices (assuming that I can still change the order) are :-

1. Upgrade from the Stream to the Audience MP3 stereo

Advantages:

All built in

Can control track selection from steering wheel (have ordered MFS)

Info displayed on dash etc.

Nice, integrated clean solution

Disadvantages:

Costs more than other option

No play lists, etc

limited to approx 4GB

Can only use in the car

All my songs on WMP are in WMA format so will have to convert to MP3

2. Buy a Creative Zen 20GB personal media player, using existing 'system' to connect to car stereo.

Advantages

20GB of space

Can easily copy songs, playlists etc from PC

good song, album etc navigation

Can use in any car, at Gym etc

Personally I like the Audience & Speaker Upgrade as it is all built in. Don't forget so are the reversing sensors & fan control displays into the Header Unit. Not easy to search on and doesn't without button presses display the Track Name & Details etc as my old Alpine Unit did, but I am happy with it.

BTW where you get the seven CD slots free from? there are only 6 or was it a typo?

6 in the changer, 1 on the head unit?

Is that right?

No separate display for the climate control?

Does the reversing sensor have an audible warning as well?

If I can't replace the head unit I would have to think *very* hard about buying a new octy.

Nope, there is a six cd changer built into the Header Unit in the dash and no six disc stack in the boot as my dealer thought there was.

Yes there is the two LCD Displays and Green LED's on the Climate Control it just displays on the Radio Screen as well.

And the reversing sensor does have an audible warning as well, again the display is shown on the Header Unit, it also turns the sound down when you select reverse.
