The HU in the VWs are Blaupunkt, the Los Angeles is/was a good unit , Before
I had my MK4 Golf, I was loading my other cars with 2 amps and speaker
upgrade dsp etc in the MK4 The sound was not asgood as the multi amp set up
but was ample, I could not be bothered to pull the car apart to run wires,
the GTI MK5 is even more congested under the bonnet so I doubt I will be
doing anything to it either.
I would have favoured MD so did look at the adaptors but seeing a picture of
one put me right off, perhaps a unit with dsp and satnav with a large screen
would do the trick, does the 2006 model have black trim as opposed to grey?
