Title: mk5 help
Post by: jeynesey on 15 March 2010, 11:33
Hi I am looking to fit a standard mk5 unit with an audio output in the glove box. I want to hook up a hard drive and/or and ipod. What options would I have? Thanks, Nick

Not quite sure what you're after, but if you're looking at an RCD300 (from a mk5), then IMHO, don't bother. They're sh1te. My mate's mk4 GTiTurbo Diesel has a fantastic OEM unit. We're just putting a Parrot 3200 on it for additional audio inputs etc.

Don't know if that's what you're trying to do, but also to put the RCD in there is an audio/aux input, but you've got to get it coded IIRC.

Hope this helps in SOME way

Ahh  :cool:

Yeh, my point still stands then. I've attempted to live my my RCD300 for 10 months. It's coming out at Easter - got something nice to go in there  :wink:

They make great door wedges though!  :grin:

Yeh, sorry 'bout the note - don't normally do that type of thing! Just saw the sticker and my 6-yr old said" that's that website you go to"!

When you getting the mk5?
