won't fit

different size for starters i believe plus the MKV is purely can-bus based so getting the stereo to work properly is a bit of a challenge

go for something aftermarket

may i suggest this  :grin:

Mp3's were invented silly :D

The standard spaekers will be pretty poor with an aftermarket headunit and me being me will end up spending loads on expencive speakers! mind if i skint myself on an expencive headunit i wont have any money left to buy speakers! ha

probably not when they first started designing the MKIV  :tongue:

mine sound pretty good actually and that 'expensive' headunit in my car cost me £220 and by the time i sold my old stuff it cost me £30  :wink:

full iPod control, play MP3's via a USB stick and has integrated bluetooth handsfree  :smiley:

fit what? a double din?? straight fit - the wires are a little tight but with some clever manouvering will fit nice and snug
