Hi, CD players with changer control, choice of 2 units...

Delta 6... compliments the look of the dash very well, was available as an option from VW from 2002>
RDS: Yes
MP3 playback: No
CD changer control: Yes




RCD200... nice modern looking stereo which is possible to fit into Mk4
RDS: Yes
MP3 playback: Yes
CD Changer control: Yes




Both of the above stereos are canbus units meaning you will have to use a ISO to Quadlock wiring adaptor and wire in canbus High and Low if your car is 2001> model, or if your car is a pre 2001 model then you'll need a ISO to Quadlock wiring adaptor with a canbus emulator built in.

Steering wheel controls/FIS: Delta 6 I think from info I've sourced so far will work with both, RCD200 won't work with either on Mk4

There were also 2 navi units that were optional from VW back in the day, that you can fit if you want to go down the Navigation route.

Which one have you decided on mate?

What year is your car? and do you have FIS and steering wheel controls?
