Glad I'm home though as there are reports of people being stuck on...

Re: Dynaudio...Worth it...??

Has anyone bought this that had a MK5 Gti before, the stock system in the Golf was awful and i had to spend a fair bit of money to correct that. is the stock setup in the Scirocco a lot better? I'm looking to order the sat nav option with Dynaudio.
