    Note that the one used in the pic above is NOT the VW piece. The VW piece is exactly the size of a stock radio, so the trim fits around it correctly.

    This is what the VW part looks like installed...




    I have installed most of the popular bolt-on mods for a 2008 R32, minus suspension work. I know a lot about electronics and car audio, and have experience with VCDS ("vagcom"). I'm a radar/lidar countermeasure enthusiast. I like track days, autocross, and US Highway 129. I love aural pleasure.
