Been looking at these recently.
I am aware of insurance, undersealing etc

My query is about the radio, I've read the FM frequency is off and the nav won't work.

Is the best solution to change the head unit?
Ideally want DAB, carplay etc.

From what I've read about JDM mk5/6/7 golfs in the UK you can obtain the UK maps and upload it via the SD card onto your head unit to correct the sat nav. Then within VCDS/Vagcom software you can change the cars region to UK and get English(US) display for all the menus.

To upgrade further to the latest spec mk7 equipment in the UK there is a thread here which has a lot of useful information on the coding side of things & what equipment is available
