Thanks!  Actually, a good friend of mine is the manager of a large VW
dealer here.  I pre-paid for one once they dropped price, but he's not
been able to hunt one down for me through the VW official chain.  I'll
get a refund and apply the money towards my future Myth setup in the
car.

Thanks again, I definitely would have liked to have the Phatnoise
system in the interim.
