OEM headunit install kit (single DIN) pics.

[Sincity]

I just want to share some pics using the VW OEM headunit install. I have read a lot of complaints how a aftermarket headunit not looking very clean. I love the look of OEM headunit, but soundwise, it leaves a lot to be desired. Cheapest route to getting clean sound from your OEM speakers is to purchase a aftermarket headunit. Many of these headunits have built-in crossovers and sub outs. The aftermarket unit will have more power to drive those stock speakers. When considering a aftermarket headunit, you will also need to concern yourself with the radio surround bezel. A good fit will be a Alpine/Blaupunkt because their bezels are almost "square". A bad example will be a Pioneer because their radio bezels are "rounded". You can purchase the OEM headunit install kit in the US from www.enfig.com .

Here are some OEM install kit pics (not from my car):

Anyone seen a photo of a mk5 with a Becker headunit in yet?
Im thinking of getting one later in the year when i switch processors to the MS-8

This is the becker unit i hope to fit later in the year, i think it may look very oem in the golf.

That becker is nice. Sort of expensive for such low power and no preouts(that I can see). But very nice indeed.

It has a front, a rear and a subwoofer preout:wink:

Hmm that is very tempting. Anyone have any pictures of it installed in a MKV? Also anyone use it with the stock speaker setup?
