The custom fit just looks so much better. There is no need for a fascia, making the install look factory fitted. The second is the cable interface and CAN BUS adaptor supplied. This can make the custom fit VW android headunit better value for money over buying the parts individually. To guarantee compatibility buy the headunit that has a matching CAN BUS box suitable for your car.
