I am probably going to get burned for this, but I am a newb to these forums so please be gentle. I just picked up my 2004 Passat yesterday, and love it already. It came stock with the double DIN Monsoon system, which (I think) is leaves me zero options to install my Sirius satellite radio. Yes, I could use an FM transmitter, but the ones I have used in the past never worked all that well.
I stopped by Circuit City ready to buy and have them install a single after market DIN radio. I literally had the cash in hand, ready to buy the radio and book a time this weekend to have it installed. When I told them the car make and model, it was like I told them I was holding anthrax.
They backed up, took a deep breath, and sighed. In short, they told me a complete re-wire of the car would have to be performed - including a rather expensive wiring harness - in order to get the amp to perform properly. They even regaled me with a few horror stories of DIY'ers that have botched their own car during the install. Is this true?
T60 Exercise Program. Or do I really look like I just fell off the turnip truck? I am a fairly handy guy, and have installed radios in other cars before - is it THAT difficult that I can't do it myself?
Thanks for the input - I knew it was a line of bull****, but wanted some one else to tell me! As an FYI - the same Sony CDX-GT710 CD Receiver that I was going to buy originally at Circuit City for $200? Crutchfield has it on sale for $179, and I used promo code '3A706' to get another $20 off (good until. 8/31/07) $159 total with free shipping. This is a bargain as is, but then factor in the free antenna adapter, receiver kit, wiring harness, and receiver add-on (the pocket to fill the double DIN) and it's a damn steal!
The only thing I need now is the servo or wire or whatever to make my steering wheel controls work. Any one know where I can get that?
PS: Mad props, dap, and kudos to 'for installation tips. My Passat will be slightly different, but the stock radio is the same.
