just remove the  tape deck, then remove the cubby hole piece, theres a bridging piece that links the cd player to the tape deck (plug from one to another) then i think you just slot em both in together

Off topic i know, my dad knows someone who works for VW, and he got him a free CD and fitted it for him! How lucky was that?! Incidentally, it is an easy job,  take the radio out, and bridge them together... as said previously :)
