Hello! New VRS TSI owner - Few questions

Hello everyone, been a lurker for a while, but just done a deal on a 59 plate race blue Octavia VRS TSI so will be active in this forum quite a bit now! Had a BMW 3 series coupe before, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much of a nice place to be the Octavia is. Engine picked up well and didn't seem much slower than the 330d I had. Seems the perfect choice with a little one on the way soon! Did plenty of reading beforehand on the chain cam tensioner issue but this car is from a dealer, so I've at least got 1 year warranty. No sign of rattle on start up when I drove it.

Have a few questions on retrofitting some stuff already, which hopefully someone can answer...

1. Nav + Bluetooth - Been looking at both the Amundsen+ and Columbus units and can't decide which way to go. Amundsen+ sounds easier with built in Bluetooth and DAB, but I like the Columbus more. I can't seem to find any decent place to pick one up, all the eBay sellers seem to be in Eastern Europe. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to pick one up? Also which Bluetooth kit will I need to buy to link with the Columbus? I don't have Maxidot.

2. Xenon - I know people will recommend HID kits, but I'm wondering if it is straightforward to retrofit the OEM xenons, if the complete headlight units with ballasts etc. can be sourced online or at a breakers. Kufatec seem to do a wiring adapter for the standard halogen loom. Would they be plug and play with a bit of VCDS coding? Other topics mention the "requirement" and "legality" with washers and auto levelling, however I can't see any legislation which would force me to have them. MOT regs state they must work where fitted, not that they must be fitted.

3. LEDS - any OEM number plate units from other VAG cars I.e. Golf, A3 etc. which will fit? Or is my only route aftermarket bulbs? Quick topic search suggests the aftermarket route is a bit hit and miss with bulb errors and flashing/blinking. Are there bulb checks on interior lights, as I'd like to swap these too.

Appreciate a thread is worthless without pics, so will post one up when I figure out how thanks, Andy
