Hi,

Not sure what you mean about back unit?

If I've understood correctly, you want a head unit with a CD player, DAB and Bluetooth connectivity?
If that's the case, there are plenty of options out there if you just want to buy one, just google something like "Car Stereo CD player DAB" and it'll come up with a selection.
If you want it fitted too, you could go somewhere like Halfords and speak to them, I'm sure they do a fitting service on their kit.

As for the aerial, DAB is slightly different, you can get window mounted aerials that look quite subtle.
You'd still need your wing mounted one if you want to listen to normal radio though.

Yes you can fit rears to front, I've done it, from memory you swap over the front lever to the rear handle as they have different offset, there is a pin and a couple of screws, 10 min job really.

As I don't really need a key-locking passenger side door handle, is it possible to fit a handle normally designed for the rear passenger door of a 5-door to the front instead?

My thinking is that I could then perhaps justify purchasing a genuine VW OEM one for the driver's side, which I use all the time, of course.

I know I could look for s/h original, but I feel it's a bit of a gamble.

Currently I have quite a nice Alpine FM/AM radio/CD player, which I would like to swap for a more modern bluetooth-enabled one, presumably with DAB rather than FM.  Am I right in assuming I wouldn't be able to get one that incorporated CD capability as well, so the whole back unit would need to be changed as well?

Any advice on good units and sources with good service (such as fitting)?  If a new unit was DAB, what does that mean in terms of aerial?  Would I just get rid of the old wing-mounted telescopic one?

Lots of questions, but any advice gratefully received.
