Still excellent value for money!

Pictures updated, bits of information updated where needed including OEM replica badge style reverse camera etc - now I just have to make a better quality video during day time and minus the annoying confirmation beep (which can be turned off through software options dw ), and also get a more complete picture of all the accessory cables...

PM sent - thanks for your help mate.

Badge / emblem style replica reverse camera now has fully updated information, and is now available by special order!

Check it out here, at $290 (rather than over $600 for OEM):

If by this you mean can you use the 8" screen to see the video output of the iPod, then currently the answer is no.
You can play videos from SD or USB so it would not be impossible to see video from iPod.

But seeing the actual user interface (UI) is something different. I'm not sure it's even possible from an iPhone. Every extracts the text info as allowed by Apple and constructs there own UI.
And I haven't yet seen an app that puts out more info over the Apple 30 pin connector.

Hi Jase

If you end up in North Sydney I'll do it.

Swapping out the unit is so simple it's almost silly.
A kitchen knife and torx 20 driver are the only tools required.
On my Tiguan it took less than 20 mins and that included taking some photos.
Any audio installer could do it. No prior knowledge of VW or ANS is required and there are plenty of YouTube clips showing how to do it for many head units.

Good luck

Has anone tried custom boot screens for the ANS?
My unit throws up 3 different screens at various points; 2 during boot up and 1 for the sat Nav.
There is a logo.bmp on the fw upgrade sd so I tried changing that and reflashing, but no difference.
And there are numerous boot images for different VAG cars on the satnav SD but no idea which ones are the 'live' image.

Would be fun to have some boot options and to be able to change these on the fly.
The unit can display images so one option would be to 'set as boot screen' or a random option from a specific folder.

Pioneer do a unit for the Vw that has a feature app mode which extends the screen from the iPhone/iPod

I'm wanting to display dash command off my iPhone onto the head unit similar to what the Nissan gtrs hav
If there is a av input on the unit I'm sure it could be done thru a cord like this
