But we must all wait until the Australian protocols have been completed. Go figure (Das Clunk)!

They may want to test it with an Aussie accent - but I told VW Aust that as my wife was born in England she would have no problem speaking British accented english. At this stage it is more the principle than then functionality for me.

Re reading the response from VWA, I suspect they will be looking to apply a charge for the function "We currently are developing a way to install it as an accessory function with our cars, however there is a little way to go before it is available in the market" This may result in some interesting discussions.

Just out of curiousity - Has anyone upgraded from Discover Media to Discover Media Pro or has done some research on whether this is possible?

Apparently half the system sits in the glovebox with wiring running around to the head unit so it wouldn't be simple. I wouldn't mind a bigger higher-res screen alone though at some point (harddrive less important)

Plus the ability to play dvd video's. That is available in the rns510. The infotainment system available on the new golf is a step backwards.
