l got told that the 09 spec gets the 250w color touch screen ,visual on screen parking display, some trim changes for the finish around the gear stick and a few other minor things.

The automatic parking system isn't available for the R36 I'm pretty sure. The VW AU website has been updated with the details for the MY09, and only the standard Passat's get it. Also - by 250w color touch screen... what's the difference from the current unit which is touch screen?

Just gave a VW dealer here a call - MY09 R36 has NO changes, only the standard models have the new OIS and a few very minor cosmetic changes.

l sat in a passat r36 my08 and it only had the push button 250w monochrome screen (blue/black). My understanding is the new standard stereo is now full color touch screen for the 2009 spec r36.

Are we talking about the RNS510 unit? If so, they only come in colour/touch screen?

Is the one that was in the R36 (definitely MY08, as it was registered over a month ago) and it was full colour & touchscreen.

I am not talking about the rns510 just the standard unit.

Ah, alright. Well, like I said - the guy at VW when I rang said there were absolutely no changes to the R36, only the standard Diesels and Petrols.

I do see the unit you mean though - http://www.volkswagen.com.au/vwcms_p...0017.Image.jpg

Much much nicer looking.
