Stupid Newbie CD Changer Question
« on: 31 January 2004, 09:20 »
Morning all, I'm a newbie to the world of Golf GTi's and have a straight forward question.

My girlie has a MKIV Golf GTi (PD130 Oil Burner), it has the Gamma head unit and I have recently purchased a CD Changer off ebay - here's the problem - can I find that blimmin' square connector? Can I bollox! >:(

Is it a standard part of the wiring loom? and if it isn't, is the 'length of the car' wire available?

Cheers, McDude ???

Thanks for the replies.

Will go to the VW dealership and act stupid, see if they can locate it - if not, 48 sheets is a lot to pay for a length of cable!
