Having noted the comments about the Funline Blaupunkts, I didn't realise
they were low-end. I'm just exploring the replacement options and I
thought all Blaupunkt were a potential upgrade, but I'm a novice at this.
What would be a 'significant' head replacement, sound-wise, bearing in
mind I just want tuner, cd and possibly mp3?
I don't mind spending a bit to get a top head unit and good speakers. Any
maker recommendations? Clarion, Alpine, Pioneer?
Thanks in anticipation and Happy New Year to all here.

I suggest:
1. Get the GTI and live with the audio for a couple of days and see what you
think.
2. If you don't think it's good enough, upgrade to an Alpine/Pioneer/Becker
etc. have a look at this link for some discussion:
http://www.uk-mkivs.net/forums/407832/ShowPost.aspx - you're obviously going
for the sound quality you want and something that looks right, option to
change the button colours to match the other switches is important.
3. Only consider changing the speakers if you don't think they're up to
scratch, but I think you'll find they are with a decent HU.
