Thx man 11yrs later still getting hits

This is EXACTLY what I needed. The black buttons on our radio have bubbled up. I bought a newer silver-buttoned radio and was able to swap the faces....looks great! I couldn't have done this without your help. Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise. ---Dave

I've got a 2008 Jetta, thanks for your help, worked perfectly! You guys make it look much easier than it is but I couldn't have done it without you.

It was very helpful to me to be able to follow up every second of this video to remove everything without breaking anything to finally remove the radio. Unfortunately the used unit that I replaced it with it was not working the way I was told it was. CDC hardware error that keeps interrupting even when listening to the radio. But as far as this video being help full of course a 100% without it I wouldn't have been able to do it myself. Thanks again guys.

Great job on the video. I still don't want to bother swapping it out myself because while you make it look easy I can see myself getting frustrated and snapping, and I don't want to be responsible for screwing something up in my immaculate interior - but now that I see how modular the design is I feel comfortable trusting a decent car audio shop to install a deck without making a mess.

Old video, but exactly the guide I needed to disconnect dice aux cable and re-connect original SAT receiver. Took me half hour, save $125 from the local VW man! Thanks for the lesson, you all do a great job.

Good walkthrough.  Took out my dead Sony XPlod, which I regretted buying almost from the day I had it installed, and put the old unit back in pending a better selection.  Very easy instructions and I wish the people who installed the XPlod had read them too because I found the gouges, missing clips, and missing screw that they obviously were unaware of.

You guys are Lifesavers the instructions I got with my stereo for installing in this specificvehicle had nowhere near the details that you guys did this was an awesome video thank you so much it helped me immensely. About to install my new radio super excited thanks again guys

[qluuuuuuuulp]

Very complex system. I remember it took me two hrs to remove the radio on a mk5 golf

Edit: Though, with time and patience it can be done without issues. If I can do it so can you :). Good video btw.

Both are AM/FM. The Enfig AAA-VWAUD4. We also have a wire that lets you use your factory Sirius antenna.

thanks for the great video. I am going to try this on my wife's 2006 Rabbit, which looks exactly the same.

Saved me a bit of $$ during my no work, Covid lock down :)

This was terrific. Thanks for the video.

Ignition, Illumination, VSS, Brake and reverse are done via can-Bus. The ENFIG SRWH-VW07 will help the installation.

You might even want to use a magnetized screw driver.  It is also easy to magnetize one if yours are not already magnetized.  I have a rare earth magnet 1 inch square and 2 inches long.  It is one of those things you want to be careful with around your car.  Once you get it stuck to your car you will mess up the paint trying to get it off.  I have used it once but wrapped in a cloth to get it off, to pull a small dent out (or at least try) and it did pull out a little bit.  Wrapping it in cloth like that makes it less likely to scratch and gives you some kind of handle to get it off more easily.  They are strong magnets and fun when used SAFELY.

That's fine. I'm an installer with no formal video training. Does this video not show you how to remove the radio?
