Best to use the search function as there are waaaaaaay too many posts on this. In essence. As your car is a 2005 mobile, if you will need a gateway if you want to replace the existing stereo with a VW head unit like the RNS510. If you are going down the aftermarket route, a new gateway is not needed.
