Excellent product

The following review is for 95-9012, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Easy to install, nearly perfect

The following review is for 95-9012, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Installed this in my 2000 VW Golf without too many problems. For best results, I had to pop out the heater control bezel to make sure I could get it fit perfectly. Otherwise, looks great, sits flush with the dash, and my double-din unit looks great!

Pretty Good

The following review is for 95-9012, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Fits my 2002 VW Jetta 1.8T perfectly. The bottom part does not snap in however or once did and has now come loose. Not noticeably though.

mounts fit the car perfectly but, the inner trim was smaller than the radio and had taken over an hour to shave the plastic down so that the radio cold fit in

I own a 2004 VW Jetta GLI and used this product along with a pioneer AVIC Z110BT and it works like a charm. Looks stock and very clean. Fits perfect! Recommend!

Decent Item...

The following review is for 95-9012, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Item fits great into my vehicle, however I had to shave it down to fit my stereo. After modification it fits great. Couldn't get item from speacialty shop, perfect for application.

Does not stay in the dash

The following review is for 95-9012, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

This is a poor quality insert that does not keep my stereo in the dashboard of my Volkswagen Passat. Find something else to mount it with.

Pure crap

The following review is for CX305, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Had this professionally installed only to find out the next button does not work and the source button only works when you push it 20 times if your lucky. So now I have to remove it. So I guess I should have paid more money at a local stereo shop to leave with a deck that works. Also the Clarion cx305 feels and looks cheap. You can't even read the screen in the sun. Don't buy this

Best Purchase

The following review is for XSVI-9003-NAV, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

The wiring harness may look like a head scratching stressful mess but don't worry, its easier than it looks. Anyone can set up this radio. The directions that it came with a whole lot easier. The product was very good in quality.

Not all functions work on Passat Wagon B6

The following review is for XSVI-9003-NAV, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

If you are using this adapter in a 2006 to 2010 Passat Wagon the RAP does not work. I spoke to the Axxess rep and he said that there is a software glitch between the adapter and the Passat. Axxess will have to release a new model to fix this issue. Also, for the Pioneer DVD head units that need the parking break on/off/on signal, the adapter will randomly work.

Clean look

The following review is for 95-9012, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Stock VW radio was hard to remove but the kit fit very nicely and is extremely easy to install. The only problem with this kit is it is just as hard if not harder to remove than the stock radio.

very satisfied

The following review is for CX305, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

The only criticism I have with this unit is it has so many features that it has a bit of a learning curve. It works as advertised - good value for the price and once you figure out which button does what it is enjoyable to operate

Nice looking, simple remote, complex functions, many features, sounds great!

The following review is for CX305, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

The sound is great! I thought a simplified remote would indicate simplified setup and operation but not so. Less buttons means more variations of combinations. It sounds great though. A remote with more buttons would actually be better. The sound is great and the installation was almost flawless. The blue wire has to get connected to the red wire to power on. Tech support quickly pointed that out in a few minutes (cudos) and it came up working. The clock was difficult to set the time but using a combination of the remote and face plate buttons I finally got it. Read the manual. It might help to post the manual as a PDF online so people can see what is involved in operation and setup before deciding to buy. My wife likes it so far so that is good. The automatic station search is a great feature and the bluetooth pairing to phone was easier than the clock setting. Did I mention it sounds great in my wife's Saturn L200? Oh, if installing in a Saturn you may want to get some fillers for the sides since the unit is not as wide as the factory model. Also, be sure to save the mounting brackets. I did not and had to get some aluminum pipe straps from the hardware store and cut them to similar shape for mounting. I soldered all the wires so that took some time but still it was only about 2 or 3 hours for it all. Probably would not take the average person that long. I'm an analyst so you know I have to analyze everything first.

The following review is for CX305, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

Easy to install, high quality sound, and fits perfectly! I initially forgot to tell the sellers the name and year of my vehicle and they shipped out the installation package immediately at no extra cost. One of the most pleasurable on-line purchase experiences I've ever encountered.

This works great on my 2004 VW GTI. PERFECT FIT WITH Pioneer AVH-P2400BT. All you need to do is screw on the 4 screws and snap the whole unit into the dash.

Looks very flush with dash. A+++

works good

The following review is for XSVI-9003-NAV, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I'm pleased enough with it. The instructions were a little lacking, but what became apparent after looking at it for a bit was there are 2 harnesses which can plug into the box, and to me I used the one that was wired to the stereo's power wires and it worked. Also it needs to be programmed to the car by turning the key on for 30 secs to a minute with all doors closed.

The retained power feature did not work in my 2006 Jetta. It is supposed to leave the radio on after you remove key until the door is opened, but mine just turns off with the key. Not a big deal really, it'd be nice if it worked though.

Perfect fit

The following review is for 95-9012, which is a part of the bundle you are viewing.

I mean, what can I say. Fits like a glove... and not the one OJ Simpson had. This dash kit fit around my Pioneer double din like a loose condom. The set screws lined up and I thought it was going to not fit correct, but to my surprise the stereo lined up perfect as well. The fit inside the dash was tight (ohhhhhh yeahhhh giggity!). In the end the metra kit was the best choice because of the tight fit and the slight adjustability when setting the stereo, it gives an OEM flush look.

This is must when putting an aftermarket headunit in a VW; I know someone that went to an audio shop and they didn't use one of these; they just cut into the wires so now his car shuts off or the lights go out at night. Just follow the instructions and you'll be fine.
