Had a look at the web site by why to they list the TDi models as PD? I though they were all common rail?

Not sure that I do understand your question but are you just asking if it is possible to put e.g an RNS510 in the car?

If yes, just do it. It's plug and play (at least it was for me).

The unit just plugs in but the wiring and antenna for the gps won't be there, so at that point its be the same as the rcd but without the 6 disc changer.. Or at least I assumed that was the case?

Nope. Standard plug and play. The unit should come with a GPS antenna, that most people leave dangling out the back and works fine. I specced mine as a build option but like I said before loads of people have done this as a retrofit and most of them have posted about it on this very site. Remember there's a search function...
