Got quoted £2175 inc fit :(

GPS antena can be install under dasch and is working fine .
For DAB might be a difficult to get good radio reception if no genuine antenna

Recently fitted one into mine. No issue at all fits perfectly and works perfectly like people have mentioned Nav aerial under dash perfect spot
I would be shopping around here in oz you can have them fitted and installed for around $1700-1800 AU dollars. £2175 pounds is steep you don't need a dealer to install there's many reputable shops that will do a better deal.
You should ask on this forum for suggested businesses in your area.

I laughed my head if when I saw the price! I'm lost at what to do to be honest as it doesn't have Bluetooth. I really want all singing dancing.

Any advice or help much appreciated

For bluetooth you will need a separate module add another cost. Also you will need new interior light if you have a basic caddy this will allow microphone installation.
Best search ebay you will find many for sale at a way cheaper price. Buy all the items yourself and ask someone on the forum to help install I'm sure someone out there would be willing to help
Once I get some time I'll post some links
Cheers.

The RNS 315 has built in Bluetooth and can get with nav and dab, that's what I've fitted with a MDI unit, easy fit dab aerial is the thing that causes most problems, I have a cheap windscreen mounted option and it's not fantastic however I don't think any are, it's more about where you live and drive on reception front !!

I got the seat version as its cheaper and they all have Bluetooth I believe (it's the only VW oem stereo that does have built in) not sure about the voice dialling I think that's more about your van and clocks etc
