New R owner

After ordering a 2.0 GT DSG and subsequently cancelling it due to long long leadtimes, i've found and bought a brand new unregistered R DSG in Rising Blue, delivery in a couple of weeks, its a pretty basic spec, metallic & reversing sensors, and only the RCD510 no bluetooth either but i've been looking at the Kenwood DNX520VBT as an all singing all dancing Media/Nav & phone replacement.
The R will replace my Alfa Brera 3.2 V6 Q4 Qtronic, great car but the lease is up and its very thirsty even compared to the R - I reckon i'll get an extra 10mpg from the R
I'm chuffed to bits.

congrats nethers
we have had 1 or 2 people try the Kenwood unit previously so there are some thoughts for you to read before fitting

Thanks for the link trix, interesting comments, the other option is to fit the fiscon bluetooth unit and keep my current separate Garmin sat nav.

DSG - My last 2 cars have been auto/semi auto Alfa GT Selespeed & Current Afla Brera Qtronic, both very different but both very good, I drove a Scirocco GT DSG for a few hours on a testdrive and the DSG box blew me away its soooooooo much better that i've driven before.
