Maybe you do, but the original poster was considering upgrading to a funline
range, the units in VW are Blaupunkt and the funline is budget stuff hardly
an upgrade to the OE.

After spending the better part of 20K on a car buying an inferior head unit
to replace the OE does not seem sensible to me,
Money would be better spent on a speed camera detector than the funline
range, if he does change the head unit , it makes sense to keep the the OE
for when he comes to sell the car, as folk on the used car market prefer
standard cars to modified examples.
You mention that you lurk on the MKiv forum, so know that what I mention is
the experience of others as well as myself.
