Here's my Caddy, nothing major planned for it, some dents on nearside which I'm gonna get sorted but that's about it

What model radio is that?
I have a 2009 built 1.9 with a radio that doesn't have Bluetooth phone connectivity, much less navigation. I was looking to upgrade the unit with a genuine VW radio with Bluetooth, and hopefully reversing camera connectivity.

I'm not sure, how would I find out? Not sure if it's got Bluetooth as there's a Parrot fitted to the van

Yeah, I'm not sure either - I think I know what model I have only because it matches the picture on the cover of the supplementary radio manual that came with the car!
It was purely a guess yours had Bluetooth - I was looking at the "Phone" button on the LHS of the unit

Yeah the phone button is just a mute, there are some fantastic aftermarket units from the likes of Kenwood that have all the features you're after

Thanks,
I have been of the mind to keep it all VW so was interested in an oem unit that would do it. You are right about some terrific replacement radios available, and I'm getting swayed in that direction. I'll wait in hope for some special prices for Xmas.

Look on the thread, 'My Silver Caddy Day Van Project', page three, he has a replacement radio that's identical to the VW one but it's absolutely amazing, I'm jealous lol
