I always have a “mods wish list” for my Golf. I share this wish list with a lot of people - my girlfriend, Ming sir, Aric, Paper Gor, Vorsichtians, etc. But just in case if you don’t know anything about my wish list, here you go:
- BBS CH 18″ wheels for Volkswagen Golf MK5 (CH025, PCD 5×112, ET50)
- Votex Body Kit for Volkswagen Golf MK5 (non-GTI)
- Volkswagen MFD2 Satellite Navigation System
I got the wheels in August last year (2005) so I will skip this one here. I love the Votex body kit a lot but it is just too expensive so I will probably abandon this one. The last item in the wish list is the MFD2. MFD2 is a Volkswagen Satellite Navigation System with radio. It has better sound quality than the RCD 300 which came along with my Golf. It has a wide format 16:9 6.5″ colour screen that gives you full colour maps and driving directions with accompanied voice instructions. The unit is capable for optional CD changer, TV tuner, DVD player, Playstation or other video games. The following is a picture of the unit:
Thanks Ming sir for sharing the photo. For more photos, please visit http://www.sorfamily.net/photo/main.php?g2_itemId=9451.
Yes. I would like to get this. I would like to get this because:
- The LCD screen is so beautiful. It will display a big VW logo in the middle when you start the engine.
- The sound quality is better than the RCD 300. If I get the MFD2, I don’t need to upgrade the speaker systems.
- It can connect other video and audio source thru AUX.
- I can keep using the steering wheel controls to control this headunit (most of the aftermarket headunits just can’t do this).
Even though I want to get it, I still need the “approval” from my “boss”. But it is ok. I am sure that I will get it eventually but just don’t know when.
You probably want to know how the LCD looks like when playing DVD thru AUX. The following are two video clips that I found on YouTube. They will tell everything you want to know. Enjoy.
