you can fit an aftermarket changer in there yes, but would need some addition cables/adaptors. I believe Autoleads do these which allow you to run a Sony? changer. You would need to run the cables to the boot yourself though.

The factory VW changer in the DIN slot above/below your existing cassette radio would be a simpler and easier way of doing it though.

Not sure if both or only 1 of the versions will run the changer though. I think there was Gamma and Beta versions.

can get a 6 disc dash changer , http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-POLO-BORA-GOLF-6-DISC-DASH-CD-PLAYER-/131171805940?pt=UK_Audio_TV_Electronics_In_Car_Entertainment_GPS_In_Car_Audio_Players_PP&hash=item1e8a72eaf4

easier option if no cable in boot ?

just buy an aftermarket CD player that takes a USB stick / SD card, you can fit a lot of music on then  :wink:
