Default Removing Stereo Question


Hi all, anyone have a tip on the best way to remove the Nav Stereo to get to the CD changer connector in the back? Is the stereo removal necessary or can I get back there in some other way? I basically need to plug the connector into the CD changer slot on the stereo.

I am going to be trying to hook this up over the weekend and thought if anyone had any experience here it would make it a hell of a lot easier!

Thanks

If you have small hands you can remove your glove box and access the back of the radio. Keep in mind that you wont be able to see anything and will need to feel around. An alternative is to take the car to circuit city and have them remove it for you for about $20

Or purchase a set of VW removal keys...I got a set of 4 for like $15.

Then you can take it in and out as many times as you wish.

If you are going to remove you stereo make sure you have proper tools, if not you may dent or scratch your panel.

Thanks I first tried calling Circuit City who said they wanted $80 bucks, and they said they won't just remover the radio. A**holes, I had in done in CO before for a small amount. So I bought some keys and will be doing it myself...yes better idea to be able to take in & out anytime I want. Thanks for the help....
