Hi Pmoky,

Im fairly sure the centre arm-rest should be a easy fit, and will just be the reverse process of taking it off which is detailed in alot of threads and post.  The whole centre console is a little more involved.


As for the cables for the CD changer you have two choices, first is Kufatec MDI cable

Or you can buy the cable itself, but have to mod it into the main connector yourself, and find an earth point.

I assume the USB device for the changer slot is an MDI interface, and looks like this?

If it is then my preference would be this as via another cable you can also have full ipod control with id3 tags displayed, but I believe you will need a RNS or RCD 510 for this to work (but may be wrong on this point.

If you dont fit the rol top cup holder let me know as im on the look out for one at the moment.

........don't forget there are the rear air con vents as well. :happy2:

Richn83:
Yeah, unless like me you have gone for decorative rear aircon vents!  :ashamed: I plan to eventually get them plumbed in, but I dont sit in the back of the car, so not too worried  :P and to fit them you will need new pipes Pmoky and remove the entire center tunnel including gear stick.

Part No. for the piping is:
•   CD Changer Air Duct: Part Number 1K0 864 255C (1K0864255C)

big al:
I have the 2 dogs in the back of my car, the English Bull likes to push his head between the front seats and lean on the armrest, he has successfully broken both rear vent direction controls... oh well, as said, don't use them anyway!
