I have a mk3 golf GTI 1997 which I have owned since nearly new and I have spent a lot of time and money on restoring back to show room standard (no mods) and wish to put the original head unit in it to keep it right. I could just purchase a brochure off Ebay for £20 but before I do that I thought someone on here may have the answer. Thank you for your help it is much appreciated.

they are proper ghetto i know that why dont u just put a smart headunit in it nothing fancy because tape deck is pretty dated now days

if it was my daily driver then I would but it will be a garaged dry weekend car when finished. I can be a bit odd at times.

The one I have that was original is a Sony XR-C5100R. This is a changer control unit as well though as mine came with a CD autochanger as a factory extra. Not entirely sure if the cassette only unit is the same though.
