This harness connects to your factory wiring and provides the wires needed to install an aftermarket radio.ย Some of the wires needed to install an aftermarket radio are communicated through CAN bus. The small box is a CAN bus translator. The following wires are transmitted from the car to the radio through computer signals: Swithched12v, Illumination, Reverse, Parking brake and Vehicle Speed Sense. the small box reads two twisted wires CAN+ and CAN- and translates them into analog signals your new radio can read.ย It also translates the factory steering wheel controls into a signal your new radio can understand.
If you order the SRWH-VW07-B above you will need to order one of these programmers in order to tell it what radio brand you are installing.ย Super easy programming.ย Just plug it in. No computers, secret codes or flashing lights.
The harnesses below have an ISO connector instead of bare wires on the end of them.ย This plug and play converter will go straight into some radios without cutting a single wire.ย Check the google sheet on this products page to see if your radio will connect directly of of you will need to buy a converter to do a plug and play easy peasy installation.
Use the list below to figure out which one you need.
This is our original dash kit.ย It has been a customer favorite for years and its is still the best kit on the market.ย It comes with a radio mounting cage and side brackets ehat ensure the radio sits perfectly flush in the face. But it has a 10MM lip that makes some modern radios look sunk in.ย (see below)
Shallow faced radios A few years back screens started getting thinner radio manufactures started making some radios with shallow faces.ย The face is the part around the screen that sticks out of the front of the radio.ย its usually not as wide or as tall as the back of the radio (the chassis).ย For this reason we had to make a shallow faced Kit.
This is our shallow faced radio mounting kit.ย It has a thinner lip for radios with shallow faces.ย It also uses metal side brackets instead of aย mounting cage.ย This radio mounting kit can be used with almost any radio.ย It’s also a better choice for radios that have a floating screen and radios that have a double-din face and a single din chassis.ย The original is still my choice if your radio does not have a shallow face.
We also recognized that not everyone wants to remove their a pillars to run a mic to the factory location in the overhead panel.ย This radio mounting kit has a mounting location for out custom mic designed just for this dash kit.ย It makes for a super easy microphone installation whthout having an ugly microphone on your dashboard.ย It also reduces feedback since its hidden from the cars speaker.
We put his here becauseย most do not see it when we put it on the product page.ย The mic for “The shallow mic holder” is sold separately and this is it.
Radios that have two cables
-Cars that have a radio with a “LOAD” button on the top left hand cornerย
-Cars with MFD2 Navigation radio
Radios have have one cable
-Cars that have a radio with a “mix” button on the top left hand corner.ย
This part is made to fit in your cars factory microphone location.ย Not only will you get better sound quality but since it is mounted behind the factory panel you will not have to see an ugly mic hanging off your headliner.
In front of your gear shifter you have some blank spaces.ย You can remove these blanks and insert a USB extension cable that is molded specifically for your car.ย We also have the matching aux port.ย 2 USB ports can be used with a minor modification.
Golf, GTI, R32 and Rabbit the green SiriusXM antenna connector is located under the passenger seat.
Jetta & GLI had the green SiriusXM connector under the rear window in the trunk.ย The tuner is usually mounted to top of the trunk.
If your car had a shark fin antenna and your car came with the MFD2 navigation radio, the antenna also has a GPS antenna built into it.ย This cable is routed to the back of the radio.ย This adapter allows you to use the antenna on the rood for better signal.ย (many radios without built in GPS use a GPS antenna to improve navigation through your phone so check your radio.)
Out main harness has a reverse wire to tell your radio that you are in reverse.ย This wire does not have enough power to power a camera.ย If you connect a camera you will blow up the little box and void your warranty. This harness grabs power from the main wire and used our weak signal as a switch.
These tools come in handy when removing the cars interior trim.
If your car came with the factory CD changer (MFD2 Navigation radios) or the iPod dock between the seats you can replace it with this pocket to give you extra storage.
This is used to replace the factory iPod dock, CD changer or Audi Music Interface AMI with a storage bin.
Video on how to use the pocket to replace you factory iPod dock of CD changer.ย The video is in a newer Volkswagen but the hole is the same.
