I have recently bought a 2005 Golf GT 2.0 TDI. I would like to upgrade the stereo to provide proper ipod control (with track / artist display) and bluetooth phone compatibility.
I have decided to purchase the Pioneer FH-P80BT double DIN unit (http://www.pioneer.co.uk/uk/products/25/121/61/FH-P80BT/index.html). It is only £250, and has a nice sized display with a decent spec. It also doesn't stick out like some of the sat nav units. I want it to blend into the car. I don't want it ripped out of the car by some scrote who will sell it to fund his next fix!
I understand there are different manufacturers of fascia adaptors. Which one is the best looking / best fitting / strongest / best colour match for a Golf?
Also, I haven't removed the existing RCD300 yet. What kind of aerial connector does it have. Will I need to purchase an aerial adaptor at the same time as I get the wiring loom adaptor?
Can anybody recommend a good Pioneer dealer in Devon, or online? My local "Pioneer Navigation Station" elite dealer in Plymouth doesn't have a single Pioneer head unit on display. Not very elite if you ask me!
