heres a 2000 1.8T if anybody wanted proof lol

 

Yeah I love mine. Since that picture I've upgraded to a USB cable that I custom cut to about 4" long, which allows me to plug into the USB port on the front there and control all the iPod functions with the remote from the HU. Its pretty effin cool lol.

And as far as inexpensive double DIN head units, you might try JC Whitney. Some of their stuff is CRAP but some of it is actually pretty nice. GL!
