Removing Mk5 RNS500
« on: 16 May 2008, 10:26 »
Any one know where there is a post with instructions on how to remove the radio in a MK5? I also need to know if the 2007 RNS 500 CD based Sat Nav model radio has any pre outs for hooking up to an Amp? Apologies if I should be posting this in the Audio section!

Dat's the one..... Just got a Phatnoise and wanted to have a bash at fitting this or next weekend. Hence the need to know how to remove the radio with out any scratching!
