Sold my brother my old Alpine CDE-103BT which has an external mic & he wants me to install it into his MK4 Golf.
I had it in my MK4 Astra. Originally i had it wired from the rear of the HU, running behind the speedo clocks, out the side of the dash, up the A pillar & stuck at the top of it. It kept working loose though, so i ran it the opposite way, behind the glovebox, up the rubber strip, behind the headlining & attached to the rear view mirror.
All was a doddle & helped massively by there being a hole & blanking plate type thing at the side of the dash.
There's no such hole in the Golf though & i don't know much about taking a Golf apart.
One idea was stuck onto a blanking plate just below the centre heater vents, but i'm not too keen on this idea. It's best to be somewhere out of sight & can't be knocked. I don't fancy taking the speedo clocks out because 1) i don't know how to 2) in case they need programming. The glovebox, like the Astra, looks a doddle, but then there's no hole at the side of the dash to feed through.
What have you done & which is the easiest method?
