sam bignell Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Due to the mileage I'm going to keep this Lupo GTI standard, however I'd like to upgrade the stereo. What OEM models fit that are considered an upgrade?Was just thinking of simply trading out the single CD player to the 6 CD changer but I fancy going a little further. I remember you could get the GTI with sat nav but since the development of the VW range just wondering what else is out there.ThanksSam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattarosa Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) I think the MFD200 or something like that fits. That's a bit of an upgrade.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-MFD-Stereo-Navigation-System-/161402590867?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item2594581693something like this.

Skezza Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 But oem but unintuitive menu system designed by someone stuck in the 80s, unimpressive sat nav software, a very small screen and a pretty limited functionality.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I have a VW Individual. Bacsically a Becker Monza in a VW coat taken from a VW Polo Dune 9n.The RCD200 is a good OEM unit, but has an issue in the Lupo whereby it turns itself off after 59 minutes as it is looking for a CANBUS signal.Excuse missing tray front. All fixed now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 I think you can buy a can bus spoofer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 What was the HU before this, Ray? Are there any significant sound changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patroddy Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 The mfd is an amazing unit, worth the money it makes the music so much crisper, although its not your modern day satnav it does the job and looks perfect in place in the dash!! id have another without hesitation.

Silver! Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Pre the Individual, I had the standard Gamma and single CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Just gave it a read about what it can do, it has aux, mp3, rear/sub speaker output and OEMness looking - whoa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver! Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Yes, but it has a problem with the display breaking up in hot conditions. Standard problem for Becker of that era apparently.You probably stand a better chance of getting on mainland Europe as apparently in the UK they were only issued in the 9n Polo Dune.

Not when compared to some seriously good units that are similar price and will blow it away spec wise and provide similar quality audio. Really, the only benefit of the MFD, is that it's OEM and so looks good. If that is something that important, then you will struggle to find another unit that looks properly OEM.My previous stereo wasn't bad looking and was super flush with the dash, but I still can't say it looked OEM.

mickster Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Are there any Lupo compatible oem stereos with DAB radio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Are there any Lupo compatible oem stereos with DAB radio?No. You'd be better off buying a DAB addon, or an aftermarket DAB radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickster Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Ahh well, I like the look of the Gamma too much to replace it anyway tbh but was just curious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
