Hi mate, I'm about to get a golf mk4 as my first car and I've watched every one of your vw golf videos so far - you've really helped me understand a bit about how stuff is gonna fit if I have any issues. Love the videos bro keep em coming 👍
Hi mate, I must say I'm very flattered that you have watched all of the VW videos which means you even stuck around for the boring ones!!! Thanks for watching mate and supporting. The most important thing is doing your research. I'm excited for you mate and I hope the car lives up to your expectations.
Looks good in the dash, these Pioneer units always seem to match the interior of the Mk4 pretty well. I imagine you'll use Bluetooth from your phone most of the time, but if you do use the radio and find that the signal isn't great, you'll need an adapter that lets you put 12V to the antenna cable. Stock headunit does this for you, but the aftermarket ones just need the powered antenna adapter (not crucial though). The wood grain is nice, but I think the net optic or aluminium trim looks much nicer. The least time consuming method is just to get ready cut vinyl to stick over the top of the wood grain, although obviously it won't have an as nice of a finish to it.
Thankfully it doesn't look too out of place there man you are right. I normally use my phone for the radio because the signal is always better so I would just use that through bluetooth. I think sometimes the signal just gets a bit sketchy so I have an app. I will look into getting an adaptor though so thanks for that advice. I'm a bit sick of the wood grain in the car now and I saw someone use enamel paint on their interior for their E46 and it came out with a nice finish so I might see how that goes, alternatively maybe do a wrap job.

Looks like you had it easy with the Golf already having a 2din space 😄nice upgrade!
Hey, thanks man and yeah it made things so easy to do as it was a straight swap almost. 👌🏾

How many inches is that 7 or 9
How noisy is the fan in these units? Can you hear the fan spinning?
Hahaha funny you should mention it but with the car not running there is a hum from the unit. Its not loud though
Does it have a usb in the front?
To be honest I can't remember, I think it does. I will double check when im next in the car.
Id love to get the old radio you have .... planning on keeping mine stock inside... Send it to South Africa lol
Hahaha I'm sure you can find those original radio units easily. I'm guessing someone fitted a more modern stereo to your car?
@@SPOOLINUP naah i have one but has wear and tear not looking good at all oh and it doesnt have the CD player.
@@tshepommk1I have a spare brand new 1 both prices with cd player
If you are looking for interior upgrades my friend you can get a fully custom carbon steering wheel made
Damn, sounds very tempting but I'm not sure if I'm ready to drop that kind of money on the car.
