Guys,
Placed a deposit on an MY08 Passat R36 wagon (low K's black) this morning subject to an RACQ inspection on monday. I have a couple of questions for you guys that know about these beautiful machines. I was almost going with a Mondeo Titanium Wagon but this was a little bit of a pearler, or so i think anyhow!

1. It hasn't been optioned with the auto tailgate. I know this was a $750 option, has anyone converted theirs to work automatically. Is all the gear there to make it an auto tailgate plus some buttons??
2. It currently has just a plain jane looking head unit and i would like to add an RCD510 into it as i think they look real classy. Do i need to update the canbus as i have seen some cars with the RCD or the RNS in them. I was going to do this to my jetta but the whole canbus update put me off.
3. Assuming that i do put the RCD in it, is it easy to get a reversing camera to hook up to it as this is my new family transporter and i would really like to keep the classy OEM look rather than some dodgey looking thing from super cheap.
4. Do the parking sensors show up on the screen on the RCD or are they special sensors that are needed.
5. Anyone bought some nice looking rear sunshades to keep the little one away from the sun as much as i can.

Sorry for the barrage of questions but i am like a kid in the toy shop. Getting a new toy to play with!

Umm, i think that is all for the time being. Any other tips would be appreciated. Can't wait to get is thing and make it my own.
Thanks guys.
