double- din gps stereo
« on: 16 April 2009, 23:34 »
has anyone got a double-din gps radio/stereo in a mark 4?  which one and how much?  was it a simple fit, or was a face plate replacement needed??

Cheers Rich, I thought Rhyso would be the one telling me about his Pioneer, not you!! LOL.
I'm thinking more about a 6-7inch screen unit, whether it be touchscreen or not.
