Complete stereo upgrade fitting kit to install a Double DIN head unit into various 2005 onwards Volkswagen car models.

This kit is suitable for VW car models with a single Fakra antenna connection on the back of the original radio

This is an alternative product to FK-714-SWC

This head unit fitting kit includes the following:

Fakra to DIN antenna adapter cable (12v phantom) (21-123)

This cable converts the original antenna connector in the car, known as a Fakra connector, to a standard aftermarket antenna connector, known as a DIN connector.

Radio replacement steering wheel adapter interface (29-UC-050-VW1)

Steering wheel control interface and adapter cable for Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda cars to fit an aftermarket radio upgrade.

The cable adapts from the Quadlock connector in the car to standard aftermarket ISO connectors. This replaces the need for a separate ISO radio replacement adapter cable.

The CANbus steering wheel control interface is built in to the adapter cable for a plug and play installation.

This interface will allow the original audio control buttons on the steering wheel to work with the new aftermarket radio. The interface will work the volume, track skip, source, mute and phone buttons. Note; the operation of these buttons can be dependent on the vehicle specification and radio compatibility.

The CANbus interface will also provide a key present ignition, illumination, speed pulse, reverse gear and handbrake outputs. A key present ignition means the stereo will turn on with the first click of the key and stay on until the key is removed from the ignition barrel.

Note: No radio information will be shown on the original display in the car
