Taking out standard head unit? mk3

[towlie]

Just a quick one. I've done this in my previous mk2 but just wanted to check for my mk3. If i slide out the standard head unit will it just slide back in without any problems?

 

[Floridadaz]

Have not done it myself but have sold my cables and keys to MK3 owners and not had any reports of difficulties. The keys fit so the mechanism is probably exactly the same, you just need to make sure it goes in at square angle relative to the slot and make sure no cables are trapped.

Yeah the standard one will go back in easy, there isnt loads of space but it'll be fine

Thanks chaps!

Floridadaz! by the way i wana get one of your cables, ebay or through your website?

 

[Floridadaz]

Do you have paypal? I can PM you my details or if you don't I can email you a paypal invoice which can be paid by credit or debit card. Don't get em off ebay or my website cos you will end up paying £1 more.

 

[towlie]

Yeah got paypal so can do it that way no worries.

all u need in the keys and u can take the head unit out. push the keys in as far as they can and ull get a click. after that u can just pull it straight out. simple. lol. just so you no. if u cut any cables for the radio youll void the warrenty. so if your gonan do any cutting buy a iso/iso addapter and cut into that. simple

Thanks mate! hopefully won't have to do any cutting so should be ok. the only thing i want to know is how to feed the wire to the glove box or somewhere else. i have a square gap where the light in the glove box is so i'm guessing it should be able to feed through to that? if anyone has done this will they let me know?

can you not feed the cable somewhere near the cup holders? having the cable going into the glovebox is going to be a real ball ache when you want to change song/album when on the move. you are going to have to stretch all the way over.

Yeah like wot I did- see www.floridadaz.com for instructions.

Yeah i saw that, but mine is a mk3 so might be different. Just wondered if anyone has done this.
