No i didnt sorry! It was £220 all in for the unit, the GPS/TV aerial and the sorround. Ive paid £14 for a reverse camera aswell but im still waiting for that. For the money im really impressed with it and im going to be binning the iGo sat nav and flashing it with tomtom in the week.
Thanks for the interest.

That's an amazing price, I don't know how much these go for but average - decent headunits go for at least half that, and sat navs are pretty pricey too, and the fact it's got a nice and big dvd screen...
Looks good  just make sure your car is locked and alarmed from those robbing b******s.

Small update, ive used Vagcom (vcds) to change the comfort indicators from 3 flashes to 4 (You touch the indicator stalk lightly and it flashes when changing lanes) as 3 wasnt quite enough! And also disabled the anti hijack locking at 10mph, also made it so one click of the key opens all the doors rather than the drivers on its own.
Also changed the timer on the heated mirrors and rear window demister to 15 mins rather than infinite so i dont burn out the elements!

what modules is it to code the heating element and the comfort indicator? might have a look at that since i haven't used my cable for a year!
also, what camera did you get? i replaced mine (round one that i had to drill into valance) with a number plate camera, much more discreet and nicer looking. - also has a very good angle of view. only problem being i have a bright white LED on one side and a yellow festoon bulb on the other, as the 'error-free' ones on ebay don't work as such. need to solder on a resistor when i get time.
the camera was £20 from hong kong, the manufacturer of my HU want £95 for the exact same one but with their branding.

Theyre both in 46 central convenience then comfort modules.Then goto the adaption menu and use the drop down menu at the top. You use coding numbers into the values ie 247 mins is infinite for the heating elements and you change it to what you want (15 for 15mins etc etc). The flasher units is in 46 aswell and its simple as changing the adaption code to 1,2,3,4 or 5 depending on what you want.
The rear view camera hasnt come yet but was similar to this one
cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBay...K:MEWNX:IT
Im lucky in the sense that the plate lights sit up in the boot a bit so you wont see the camera unit that much and im going to spray it silver so it blends into the gap above the plate.

cool thanks.
i have to plug it in anyway to adjust the sensitivity of the auto lights.
that camera is similar to the one i got. i had to improvise to get it to stay in place though (once i took the old light holder out it was just a void with nothing to screw it into), not sure if yours will be the same?

Another small update! Finally the rear parking camera came today, need to get some time to spray it silver but wont be able to do that till at least Tuesday now.Then get it fitted and wired in!
Also managed to get Tomtom working on the headunit after a few issues with the license of the maps. Amazing what you can do with a bit of software from the internet! 
Thanks for reading

Do you mind me asking where you got your vagcom cable and software from and how much? I've got loads to do to mine and a willing donor but would like to be able to do it myself. Cheers in advance!
Car is great by the way, I'm sifting through the pages looking for little mods to steal lol
