Title: Armrest fitting?
Post by: m28 on September 22, 2014, 12:38:31 pm: Hi, Just got a GT TDI and looking to fit a leather armrest. Got the matching leather armrest with 6disc player. Anybody know how hard it is to fit (armrest) or somebody that will do it. Also is it just a case of plugging the cd player into a connector under the hand break? Cheers
