Yes that headunit upgrade question/problem!
« on: August 01, 2025, 03:38:37 pm »
My son just picked up his first car, 2005 1.4S and as an S it is absolutely rock bottom standard with no options added.
The first thing he obviously wants is to sort some music out so need to swap out the boggo head unit.
I have a Touran so know how much of a ballache VW make it for us so cam someone give me a straight list (in terms of connectors) of what he will need to install an aftermarket unit?
I've got a spare double din Pioneer unit he can use but I've seen talk of the ignition connection and what needs to be fitted/done to get it to work but it completely melts my brain!
On mine it was a case of a canbus adapter which just plugged in with the loom connector but I believe on the 05's it's not like this?
