*repost from other forum as i got 1 reply in over 2 weeks*
I am currently installing a new sound system in the car.
At the moment it has a "gamma" radio and cassette player and a single cd player above it.
I want to change to a double din size unit.
I understand you can cut the audio connectors, and re-solder the new generic connector to it, this however is not an option, as when i sell the car, i will be returning it to stock.
So the questions are :
1 where can i get a suitable wiring iso block in Australia.
2 will this turn the system on and off with ignition, or will i have to provide a switched power feed (seen this in many youtube jetta vids)
3 where can i get a good quality double din facia adaptor in australia,
4 anybody done a guide for this ?
Sorry for all the questions,
Car is 2004 VW bora V5

Hey guys, received my removal keys today, pulled the unit out.
Just to confirm, i have a Gamma radio cassette, and a separate single din vw branded single cd unit.
I looked at the above video that you posted, thanks for that. However my wiring setup is sliglty different.
I have 2 standard looking iso connectors, and a standard looking right angled female areal connector, also the multi coloured external cd player connectors (not the all in one vw plug shown in vid.
the External cd player has a lead that goes to the gamma (the multi coloured one) and a strange looking cable with only 2 wires (grey and brown) that disappear below my steering wheel.
My question is this.
Any ideas of the purpose of the leads coming from cd unit ( i dont have steering controls etc)
and i would assume, that i will be using a standard iso connector to connect to the head unit, will i still have to take the 75X feed mentioned in the above vid.
Has anybody tackled this??
