Car installed in: 2007 VW EOS
Install difficulty level: Medium (if you know what you're doing)
Pros: Looks great; works, always a 'pro'; integrated with iPod/iPhone to charge and show song/artist titles on screen and ability change song (works with slacker radio and Pandora radio iPhone apps as well); definite upgrade from stock radio; basically plug and play (again, if you know what you're doing.); ability to change background display picture; fairly customizable; SD slot, big thumbs up. Could always load all your music onto a card and never have to hook your iPod up!
Neutral: Option to change button light color from green to red (or off) (don't like green and it doesn't go with the red/blue light "theme" on dash and heat controls so I keep it red.); a previous comment had said this was an OEM radio which it is NOT. It is an OEM replica, hence the cheap price tag. It is comparable to OEM but without the actual OEM label. Not a good or bad thing, unless you are looking for genuine OEM; start up photo is the VW logo, which I like but it is not customizable so hope you like it too; clock is in military time (bothers me, may not be an issue for others.); I had to feed my iPhone cable through the bottom of the dash, doesn't bother me but it looks very 'aftermarket,' if you're going for a clean look you may want to feed it through (if able to) the back of your dash so it comes out in your ashtray area.
Cons: NAVIGATION NOT INCLUDED!!!!!!! You need to BUY THE INSTALL DISK/SOFTWARE YOURSELF. The seller should put this in the info, unfortunately I had to find this out for myself after the fact, so just saving you the trouble; screen is very touchy, could be a pro or a con depending; very, very bright display, I turn the display off (easily accessible button) while driving at night or I can't see the road.
Seller: I didn't have a problem with the seller, package arrived on time and in good condition.
I've only had this for a few days, but so far it seems to work good. I especially like the iPhone integration. I don't have the navi set up because as I stated before, it didn't come with the software and again, thanks to the seller for mentioning that in the info (sarcasm.) I also did not set up the blue tooth because I don't talk on my phone in my car enough to use that feature. All in all, seems like a decent investment. Hope this review helps you out a little.

The only impressive thing about this product was a fast shipment, otherwise I was very dissapointed. First of all, after putting it in my VW Passat, it would set the airbag off. Radio would not connect to any of the radio stations here in the USA. Later on the seller would explain how to get the radio working but to me it was just trouble. This unit is GPS OPTIONAL!!! (you have to get the software yourself). I had no trouble returning the product.Koolertron (TM) For VW: New BORA / PASSAT CC / PASSAT B6 / JETTA A5 / GOLF PLUS / GOLF 5 / Golf GTI / Golf R32 / Scirocco / Tiguan / Touran / Caddy / EOS / Rabbit / SKODA: Octavia Limousine / Octavia Combi / Fabia Limousine / Fabia / Roomster/ Praktick ...Best Deals for Koolertron For VW: New BORA / PASSAT CC / PASSAT B6 / JETTA A5
I recently purchased this unit via Amazon from Koolertron. I received the shipment earlier than promised by the seller via DHL. I was nervous opening the package ..... However, I was honestly very pleased to see a Original like VW Jetta Car Radio/DVD/GPS receiver. I was quite impatient to get it installed and the product quality including DVD quality picture, GPS connectivity was excellent and very honestly it looks and functions like the factory fit set-up (RDS 510)!The only downside which is negligible is, there is no option to separately control the Bluetooth Telephone volume. The Bluetooth volume is dependent on the volume level of the Radio/CD/GPS which is not sufficient for a clear telephone call. This requires manual adjustment of the volume when a call is in progress. This is off course a very negligible downside, therefore no stars reduced for this minor flaw.
Then my encounter with the seller.... I must admit, the seller's responsiveness towards all my concerns and queries were answered quickly and efficiently. I had a problem of a damaged wire on the can bus connector and without many questions, I was promised a Free of Charge replacement. This is service par excellence and I congratulate the Koolertron team.
I highly recommend this product and certainly give full stars for product and supplier's customer service.

This radio looks very like the OEM version, but with a lot of features. Sound quality is good, very easy to install. The customer support is amazing and will take care of any issue you might run in.Touch screen is very responsive, the button colors can be changed (green & red).
Great radio to replace the OEM !
