I've put in a few iPod kits on mine over the years. - They all operate and install the same way.
Takes 20 minutes to put in.

Cheers for the inspiration alexmccabe

I like the idea of chrome switches, need to change the grab handles too mine are a bit scruffy looking.

I also like the idea of having cruise control and a MFSW but dont know how easy that will be to fit.



I got a guy off here to fit it for me. £20 he wanted, but I gave him £30 because he did it hungover in the freezing cold wind.

Depends on the year of your Golf. I think after late 2006 the wire for cruise was already installed. Mine however was not, so had to remove all the wiper motors... That was fun. I paid someone to do it. Haha

How much in total did you end up paying both to fit and buy the cruise control?
