Double Din
« on: 06 October 2009, 00:00 »
Right i'm after a new head unit for my mk 4 , so its got to be a double din .
Much as i would love an Alpine or kenwood one i really cant justify the price tag , so i was wondering if any one had got one of the cheaper ones like you see on ebay ....the funny branded ones....and are they any good , or should i keep saving ?

no special parts required it will fit straight in
the only things you will need will be the correct vw h/u removal keys and an aerial adapter
