Try RS Components or Farnell.

I installed the unit yesterday, looks really cool!
The microphone is really bad, if someone is going to install another mic please make a tutorial of it, i don't know how to exactly...
Cheers
Melvin,

Hi why your light button function should switch is weird to say the least, maybe it is some sort of cycle with the on/off switch.
Did you try a system reset back to factory settings
Try various permatations, ie, radio off> ignition on,> then radio on.
If you did not break any connections or short anything (have you made sure that adaper box is not shortening something ( like the tails from the connector block ?) then as you say "WTF". As this is a CanBus function then if it is a fault then that is where it lies.
Also as this unit has been updated then perhaps members would ID their headunit as a Mk 1 or MK 2 so we know whats what.
For RedGT134 sorry got it wrong at the top
Did you try untaping the Blue fakra connecter wire from the Blue acc wire from the head unit ? if you did, did it correct itself ?.
Please go to page 51 and check the wiring pin outs against the diags posted there, do they ring through as they are supposed to ?
As the headunit functions are controlled by the Can Bus, without being able to signal it (with an emulator or computer signal), there is no way to test it "off car" and as we dont have a wiring diag for inside the unit we are snookered.
Oskar if you read this can you see if we can get a wiring diagram for these units so we can get them fixed locally.
Also please ask what is supplied for the Can Bus upgrade and what is involved as this may be more cost effective than shipping units back and forward at our exspense to China.
Tell Fish Lee he is getting a bad name and sales will go down if he does not help us.

Ill bring this to the factory engineer but can you please sum it up for me?
1/ Was working Okay
2/. Installed Right angle adaptor at Fakra and removed 2 screws
3/. Lights now go off when car is on and on when car is off?
Is that Basically it ?
You need a wiring diagram for Inside the Box?
Yes for inside the box, and the details of what is supplied for the CANBUS upgrade and what is involvedIll bring this to the factory engineer but can you please sum it up for me?

When you go in, you will find that one Fakra connection is a brown colour, and the other is white.
Depending on your vehicle fit and location country wise you will have a roof top antenna whip arial which is passive and provides AM and FM albeit a weak signal. This comes in on the brown coloured connecter.
If you have a sharks fin then it is possible you have the Digiatal Radio fit and your roof antenna signal is amplified, and a phone and GPS connecter is also available from other connecters present. ( I have no experiance of this and cannot comment)
The white connecter is from a built in antenna in the rear window (which is FM only), and it is amplified, and so needs the 12v feed provided by hooking up that blue wire to the blue wire coming out the head unit.
The adapter (when the blue wire is hooked up) provides 12v to both Fakra connecters. It also normally has one of the sockets marked with a sticker saying that it has to be connected to the white socket.
When following this directive both Bazzle and myself have found that this gives only an FM signal to the head unit (which is correct as the rear window only provides FM) and so he used the brown connecter to get AM and FM (from the roof antenna), I continue to use the white connecter and get only FM.
My signal performance is about 95% of the VW performance from an rcd 300
One thing when you go in, can you check if the head unit gives out 12v on the centre pin of the arial input socket please
