Hi genebaby, the MIB Unit was factory installed - in 2016 it was NOT an available option but as the previous/original owner is the Product Manager @ VGA they got it approved as an option on the build of this car only ..... this is the only DAB+ unit in a VW in Australia thus this 40 Years is a one of a kind :cool:.
Why it was approved was because VGA wanted to test the DAB in Australia with looking at including it in builds or as an option - not sure how much testing was actually done but it was inconclusive and so DAB didn't get the go ahead.

Yeah, I've been looking online and realised that you can get overseas units and have them programmed, but with all the music options I have now I would still use music through Android Auto and I can stream radio stations through it, so maybe that's why they decided against it.

I'm still old skool and listen to the radio so the DAB gives another option which is pretty good in the GTI ..... I've also ripped all our CD's to a USB stick and have it plugged in as well (also a stick with them in the T-ROC 140TSI Sport).

Looks great. What springs did you go with?
-
I put in Eibach springs, which I was happy to discover came as a linear. set The pic was on day one, next week or so I will get the alignment rechecked and just drive from there.

Your ride definitely looks good Genebaby. I guess RED ones really go do faster :)

Thanks, I do resemble that theory.
On the weekend I did the fender screw mod, seemed to only need it on the drivers side, and looks to have resolved the slight scrubbing I got a little bit.

New steering wheel. It arrived yesterday and installed this morning, I was pretty well prepped for what to do while I was waiting.

New steering wheel looks great. Did you get that from Eurozone in America? Looks very similar to mine.
The standard Mk7 steering wheel was definitely a disappointment compared to the Mk6 and Mk5.
