Yeah they started fitting them middle of 2006 for the 07MY, it briefly displays 'Volkswagen Information System' at startup. Similar to the 'Welcome to Volkswagen' message you get on the Nav screen of the later RNS systems.

Here's an awful quality picture:

Fair play nothing to get excited about I suppose but I had noticed the message in a few google pics. I thought it.probably due to Polar Fis or something on those lines!

Yeah that's what is says 'Volkswagen information system' his car is a 2007 so there's no way I can get that showing on my cluster?
