Title: Stupid Newbie CD Changer Question
Post by: McDude on 31 January 2004, 09:20

Morning all, I'm a newbie to the world of Golf GTi's and have a straight forward question.

My girlie has a MKIV Golf GTi (PD130 Oil Burner), it has the Gamma head unit and I have recently purchased a CD Changer off ebay - here's the problem - can I find that blimmin' square connector? Can I bollox! >:(

Is it a standard part of the wiring loom? and if it isn't, is the 'length of the car' wire available?

Cheers, McDude ???

i had this problem on my 2001 golf gti. a lot of people said it was pre wired after 2000 but its not only certain mk4`s are pre wired (dont ask me which ones) to get the changer lead from volkswagen is 48 quid hope this helps

Thanks for the replies.

Will go to the VW dealership and act stupid, see if they can locate it - if not, 48 sheets is a lot to pay for a length of cable!
