Hids4u, the Radio, whilst programmable in respect of operating system, is not country specific, ie it contains no configuration settings itself, so if you had swapped it out, you would have seen no difference anyway.
The Country configuration for the audio system, which controls frequency step and range is contained in the Car Configuration File (CCF) in the instrument pack. 
Mick9, whats wrong with your 6CD unit?

Thanks for that. lucky escape all round then as the stealer wanted to charge a fortune to fit it!
BTW whats the best price you can do me one of those sexy toys of yours (faultmate)
I have a 2009.5 D3 and 2006 RRS so would like it to work on both. I also change my cars more often than my pants these days so would need to change the VIN in the very near future 
which reminds me - on the Sport i have adaptive bixenons and had to buy a UK set to pass MOT (my cars being LHD) and the UK set have the cornering lights - can these easily be activated?
All the best
ian

Hiya Ian
First let me welcome you to the board.
I know you are fairly new round here, and have as i once did, run into the commercial rules a bit. 
I hope you also find your feet and maybe even decide to go for a couple of months commercial posting license to enable you to tell us all about what you can offer. Drop Martin a PM for the rate card
As you note our kit is indeed quite sexy.
In single vehicle Kit for D3 its RRP is about 800 Euro, an additional vehicle such as the RRS would come in at like 450, with VIN changes costing about 50 Euro each time, i can give you more accurate prices in teh new year when our offices are open again.
Re Cornering Lamps.
If you have the bulbs fitted, its really only a case of 2 wires from a connector in the cabin plus a couple of earths to the head lamps. And of course enabling that in the CCF
I am about to add this to my own D3 in the next day or two.
