    So Skodas get a better BT system than VWs? Or is it just cheaper? I'm confused...

    I'm thinking the Fiscon is a much easier and proven option, but just doesn't have voice activation which I can live without.

    The eBay ones from Poland look good but I just don't know about them, the price is good however and they are P'N'P!

    Kris you are far from alone there... it is confusing! VAG produce a BT kit that is colloquially known as the Skoda kit, or the 9w3, or the 729A, 729B, 729C or 729D. They don't sell it here, which is weird, cos it's probably the best all-round BT package for VWs. Have a read through the post I've linked to a few posts up - that should shed some light...

    Dcashion - functionally once the Fiscon or Skoda kits are installed they work identically, with the exception that the Skoda kit gives you voice activated dialling... install is fundamentally the same for each, although the Skoda kit coming with a genuine mike probably lends itself to you placing the mike "properly" in the ceiling center console, where my Fiscon's mike is just neatly placed on the steering column. And yes, the Polish ones are now coming with a PnP harness. One potential concern is that some people's PnP harness has only been mono wired, so if you want to play BT audio (A2DP) it will be pretty ordinary unless you mod the PnP harness.

    Mate i'm glad you are up to-date on all this as it can easily do your head in!

    To your knowledge is the Skoda available as a PNP yet?

    Yes, there are polish sellers on ebay selling them complete with PnP harness for about AU$500 - $600. I just bought one... Not here yet though.

    LOL.. yes. Originally you had to splice them into the wiring harness at the back of the stereo. The PnP ones come with a a quadlock socket at one end of the harness and a quadlock plug at teh other end, so you take the big quadlock connector out of the back of the stereo and just plug the new bit inline.

    So which part number am I looking for is it the one ending in D or A or C.

    From what I can understand the cheaper ones are the 1Z0 035 729A and 1Z0 035 729D this is because they are superseding them for the 1Z0 035 729C...true?

    I think this might help to understand their production runs and EOL of the different part numbers.
