VW Boot 6 CD changer - Does it work in new headunits?
« on: 19 February 2008, 17:57 »
As the title suggests, my Golf has a 6 CD changer in the boot?  Is this compatible with new head units?  If I bought say a nice new Sony head unit, or Pioneer or something?

It will only work if you bought a Panasonic head unit.

sadly not but if you're getting a TV type unit get something like a Kenwood DNX7200 - it plays DVD's so turn your CD's into MP3's and stick them on a DVD. Job done :afro:

You not got the car yet? Wow, you got big plans already  :shocked:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
