I know it's the same kit for more. I placed my initial order with cars245 myself (which was $638 with shipping, so not $450 less as someone here suggested).. Took 6 weeks and one arrived broken. I recognize the packaging material (even though I'm sure that blue foam comes from VW not cars245, so who cares). But I'm ok with paying the extra after I was told it would be another 4 weeks for me to get my replacement. I was fed up with the wait and usp said they had it in stock and ready to ship. Ordered Friday, got it Monday. The harness seems very well put together (I haven't seen some of the other ones out there to compare though). Install seems very easy and straight forward with the exception of removing the back cover. All in all, after all the trouble I'm happy with my choice. Cost more ($302 more, minus a $200 harness, really only about $100 more) but no hassle. And cars245 gave me a refund.
