I don't have the VW integration but i do have the Blitzsafe ipod integration which i absolutely love! I installed it myself as i do with all aftermarket parts but this was by far the easiest installation i have ever done. All you need to do is hook up a ground and plug it in. With the VW ipod integration you can not control the ipod through the ipod while plugged in you have to do it through steering wheel controls, while on the blitzsafe it is the opposite you can only control it through the ipod which is what i wanted and it is a lot cheaper. I would personally go with the Blitzsafe if i were you but i don't know what kind of trouble you would have with warranty issues. If you do go this route make sure you get four radio keys, i made the mistake of only getting two and ended up having to fabricate two more to finish the job.

i have mine coming out of the gap above the compartment in front of the shifter. That way when not in use i can tuck it out of sight and i did not have to drill any holes to get it into the glove box or center console. I don't use my cupholders much so that is where i keep my ipod when i am using it. It doesn't bother me to see it, i prefer using it that way but that is just a personal decision you have to make...
