The MP3 option on new 9n's
The MP3 option on new 9n's
Does anyone know anything about it?
Generic version:
VW's version:
I think - going by photos - that it's a "Becker Monza MP3 7885", but I've never heard anything about this make.
Exploring the possibility of a retro-fit, but will only do it if it's any good. £350 on the street, any idea what a dealer would charge? Anyone know of any better cd-based mp3 head units?

Hi,
I'm looking to replace my head unit with a simple but good sounding/quality CD/Mp3/Radio unit…and this Becker unit seems to fit the bill nicely.
What would be the differences between the VW's and generic version? I would guess the VW's would have matching dash illumination, no need for an adaptor at the back and be more or less plug n play in the Polo 9n(?). Would anything else be different between them? Will both fit flush in a 04 Polo 9n dash?
Anyone know how much UK VW dealers will ask for theirs? And do VW do any other CD/Mp3/Radio units?
Sorry many Q's… Thanks in advance. Cheers!

I have a Becker NAvigation System.... Good thing is that you can always get it with blue background illumination and red key illumination, so it looks great in a 9N. However, it can't play mp3s.
There's a radio/navi/mp3/mobile-phone combo, called online pro, only 1 DIN size, but very expensive, about 1200 pounds
there will be a radio/mp3/navi soon, for a price similar to current satnavs, about 600 pounds....
the alternativ is the one with radio/mp3 without satnav. If you want it in blue/red it's called "Monza mp3 7885". You can get more infos from www.becker.de

the radio/mp3/navi verion, called indianapolis will be out in 2 weeks. price: 1050 Euros, thats about 700 pounds... I think thats really a good price. You'll get maps from the UK and the continent, and the maps are from navtech. If you have a blaupunkt satnav or VW (which is blaupunkt) you'll have to pay for every country extra ... and they use teleatlas maps which are much worse than the navtech ones...
