Dead easy - it just plus in - you'll find a GPS antenna on ebay, when you get it just stick it under the air con grill in the top of your dash.

This is how to remove the old radio, if you look about half way down the post you see that the grill comes off first: http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=40928.0
