New purchaser questions

[troyhunt]

Hi folks, long time lurker first time poster. I’m just about to put in an order for an R36 wagon through my fleet company and was hoping someone could help out on a couple of questions:

1. Handsfree and iPod integration: it seems like the consensus is to dodge the VW options and order the Fiscon. Will this also cover iPod integration (tracks on screen, charging, etc)? I just want to be able to get into the car, plug in the iPod, have the Bluetooth phone automatically connect (JasJam with Windows mobile, iPhone and Blackberry) with the steering wheel buttons working correctly and have it all just work as you’d expect.

2. Reversing camera: ones of the sales folks suggested this was only available with satnav. Is this the case or can you get the camera without having to shell out for the (pricey) built-in nav?

3. Model cycle: it sounds like we’re currently in the 09 model cycle – what has changed from the 08?

Thanks all.
