You can get the adapter plug to plug your aftermarket radio into the stock harness at Bestbuy stores, or probably any stereo shop that carries Scosche products. The part number is VW01B - it is a VW plug but the shape and pin number are correct. It makes for an easy swap and you don't have to cut into your factory harness. I did rearrange some pins for my own purposes, just because I like uniformity in my wiring jobs, but that wouldn't necessarily be required.
Yep, I knew that part, my installer just thought his simular connector would work and even though he finally used butt connectors everything works fine and im happy with the neatness and everything can be reversed if I ever wanted to put the stock radio back in.

Again, it plugs right in and works just fine. The antenna adapter was $11.00, the Scosche plug was $17.00.
The manufacturer is Metra Im thinking. Yes, I had the VW antenna adapter which didn't work, so Ill probably get the 40-EU10 even though I hardly ever listen to radio.
