I believe an RCD510 will be what you are after if you do not want sat nav. You will need a Bluetooth kit aswell and a cable adaptor. Maybe an updated can us gateway to prevent battery drain. (You may be lucky and have the updated one anyway on a 56 plate). It will also need to be coded with vagcom.

You can get a Polar BT/Battery module that will prevent the battery drain and make your 7P6 Bluetooth module work fully with your steering wheel and full FIS (if you have it). Check my GTI project if you want to see pictures.
