if i can source a: 3Q0035844A for fairly cheap, whats the best screen that would be reasonably cheap? (~100Cad)?
Trying to get this retrofit done for less than 800CAD (including jack's service)

Assuming you don't have nav the screen part numbers in the OP are the same except for a mute/voice button. I would just get whatever is cheaper. The 6.5" screens use your existing screen trim.
I wouldn't say that the 8" screens are objectively better but they are bigger. The matte 8" screen will require you to buy new trim. If you're in a Golf with the brushed silver the trim can be ordered from overseas for about $150 shipped. If your car has gloss black trim you can source it in the states for a little less than that. The 8" gloss only comes in gloss black trim which means doing a full trim conversion if you're in a Golf. I priced that at somewhere around $350. Either of the 8" screen options could cost you your entire proposed budget. I got lucky and found a working 8" matte screen on eBay but still had to buy the trim. The screen was sold as-is for parts so it was a gamble.

Yeah, cheapest option would definitely be the 6.5 swap since you don't have to find new trim. You can get the wiring off of aliexpress if you want the usb in the center stack. Pricey bits are the screen, brain, and jack's service (and amp if you swap em).

Gotta have the VAS5 cable. The Ross Tech one won't work.
Thank you for confirming.

Are you guys strictly talking about getting CarPlay/AndroidAuto to work on a plug & play Discover Pro unit? I have no experience with this so can't speak to it.
But if robtemp is talking about purchasing a new/used unit and having it coded remotely only the VAS cable will work.

Been trying to get ahold of Jack for a consult on my install (Tiguan Composition media into a Mk5 R32) via Skype but no luck so far. I don't want to be a pest but how many posts does it usually take before one gets a reply? I do know his vaca schedule can factor in but...
