hello everybody...
i just want to know if i can get something for my 9n....
i dont know if these exist but i want a cantre console(dash) where theres is a slot to put a screen(like when vw's come with built in sat nav)...
my cousin got one for his astra from a dealer for £18 and i think they cool the part so i would like one in my car...
and where can i get one of these if they exist and how much they cost?
much appreciated...thanks

If you remove the radio and either CD slot or cubby hole VOILA you have you double din space for a VW MFD Sat Nav unit.

your dealer or car audio place can supply you with one of these:

thats exactly what i am looking for...
does the dealer provide the screen or just the dash...also ive got the dash with the two slots and then all the switches for heating and stuff....
can i get one where i will be able to fit a screen in and still have a slot for a headunit?

i think it would be best for you to buy a headunit with flip out screen? this way you can put the sat-nav disc into the c-d part?
or have a c-d player and sat nav(with flip out screen on the top) in the double-DIN slot?
just a few alternitives

It is a headunit. Why would you want another?

oh it is? i thought it was just a screen...
newhoo...
i dont know that much bout audio but i have a amp and sub all connected in my car but my headunit got stolen...so would having this unit instead of just say a pioneer headunit affect the sound quality in any way?

I believe if your speakers are powered by an amp then audio quality should not be affected. However if they are not there may possibly be a difference but I doubt it. And if there is it probably wouldn't be noticeable.
I think you'd have to get a DVD player to shove in your glove box if you wanted it to play DVD's. However I may stand corrected on that.
As far as wiring your amp etc to the head unit you may need to get an adpator cable. I'm going to assume it'd be the same sort of one you can get for the GAMMA head unit. Again I may stand corrected.
