Title: Filling CD Changer space?
Post by: TANNER on December 02, 2010, 08:41:44 pm

Hi guys,

Can anyone tell me if there is anything available that fills the hole where a CD changer was fitted in an armrest?

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fgg83%2Ftanner23_bucket%2F12341c5b.jpg&hash=8d947d69e338890730a0824268b9243a6fc9be0f)

Ive removed mine now and got a hole that I would like to blank out/do something with.

Any ideas/part numbers?

Thank you :drinking:

Or you can just goto VW and buy the proper cubby armrest that would come with a standard none cd changer armrest.

I can get the part number for you once i'm at home.

Cheers

Here you go this is the part to fill the CD changer space,

It's called a glove box part number...A321-857-233 they are about £9 from VW.

Non CD changer arm rest.

There is also a rubber matt for the inside, it's a right barstewards to swap the arm rests over so go for the glove box swap. :happy2: Plus you may need to swap over the air duct inside to for the rear arm rest vents.. :chicken:

This...

No worries, don't know the part number for the matt inside but they are cheap from VW. It's sort of L shaped and drops in the bottom.  :happy2:
