Can you tell me whats involved with the wiring installation? Do I need to order a wiring harness // adapter of some sort? Do I need to cut wires etc or does it just plug in?
any insight you can give is appreciated!!
Thanks Ralph
A search here will tell you everything you need to know. That's all I did and that was all the info I needed. The adapter you need is this one:
Scosche 86-Up VW Volkswagen Stereo Wiring Harness VW01B - eBay (item 170355430539 end time Sep-06-09 12:09:10 PDT)
You can usually get it at WalMart, too. You need to crimp the wires together between the adapter and the stereo harness. You can find the wiring info here with a search. Very easy, it's mostly a straight color match. All I do is twist and tape, but others are more involved. It's a snap. Then just plug in.
You also need an antenna adapter. Forget the model there, but you can grab that info here with a search.
You have any specific questions once you get rolling, drop me a note and I'll try to help. The posts here are really thorough, though. Spend some time wandering around and search the previous threads and you'll get better info than I can provide. Cheers!
