AndyW Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Its very easy, the double DIN MFD and MCD units just slot right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) What, you mean this one?: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="IPB Image" />Nah, you'll never get that in style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />In all seriousness - as you can see, I've done it. I think the DIN cage is smaller, and it's a tight fit, but it does go.I've also fitted a TMC box style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />(And a phatnoise!)

Phantom Photon Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Do you need the plug & play wiring or not? Just that I have been given different advice from different sources style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":confused:" border="0" alt="confused.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOOPTY-LUPO Posted April 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 I am not sure what I need, all I do know is that i have the standard 2-piece cd and tape deck radio in at the moment for my Lupo-S and I want the VW Sat Nav system.

bossjohnc Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 (edited) You *DO* need the P&P wiring with the MFD.You *DO NOT* need the P&P wiring with the MCD.You need in all...For the MCD:MCD Sat Nav UnitGPS AntennaDX Navigation CD (with TMC if you want TMC)For the MFD:MFD Sat Nav Unit D or GGPS AntennaDX Navigation CD (with TMC if you want TMC*)P&P Cable - (you'll need the TMC P&P Cable if you want TMC)*TMC Box (if you want TMC)It's also worth noting that the MCD Sat Nav plays audio CDs (although not when using navigation, as the Nav CD is required!).The MFD does not play audio CDs, so it's a good idea to think about a boot changer, a phatnoise or a dension ipod connector.Ooh, another thing - the US phatnoises are known to be tempremental with MFD version Gs, so best to get a D if you're getting a phatnoise from ebay!

bossjohnc Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hmm... I have an original.I spent a fair amount of time trying to get a copy to work, but they have unbelievably good copy protection.You could try your luck with one of the copies on ebay, but you'll be lucky to see it working I think.

bossjohnc Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 TMC tells you where traffic jams are and guides you around them. The MCD (later version) has this built in. Don't touch the earlier MCD with a barge pole as CDs are very hard to get hold of/out of date. You can identify it by it's lack of TMC button.MFD D and G won't work with DVDs. I think the MFDII (doesn't fit in the lupo) does. You need a Teleatlas DX CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which ones just slot in with no problems/hassle?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Either MFD, G or D fit and also the MCD.The MFDII is found in the MKV Golf, Toureg, New Passat etc and is quite obviously the wrong shape.Everything is a bit of a hassle though, as you need to fit an antenna (not too much bother, but involves removing the centre of the dash for the best reception).Yes, the maps are expensive! If you're willing to go a couple of years out of date, they're cheaper (as people replace their existing ones).The TMC discs are more like £130.
