    Have a quick question here, I can't find an answer online so i thought id post it here.

    Long story short I was in England and rented out a 2013 vw golf for the day and fell in love with it. I'm now looking into getting one, but I haven't got the dosh for a 2013 model so I'm looking at a 2006/07 model.

    What I want to know, is it possible to get the center console from the new model in the 06:07 model? thanks in advance

    Ya thats called a RNS 510, I have one in my own car. The climatronic unit will be trickier as your car will need climate control but its doable though.

    Think that one in the pic is an RCD510 - the non nav version of the RNS. If you were spending money on one its worth getting the RNS as the price difference is small enough. You'll need a version A for a 2006 car (cheaper again) as the there was a change to the canbus interface in 07 I think. If you readily wanted to push the boat out the full MFD would be a nice addition with it.

    Just to be aware, on the earlier B6 Passats the RCD/RNS 310/510s would cause battery drain issues unless you upgrade the canbus as well.

    Presume it's the same on Golfs of that era

    It's not a major job to upgrade the canbus controller at least not on the golf.
