Leonj95 Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 Will a head unit from a mk 5 golf for straight into a lupo ? If not would it be a hard job making it fit it's a double din head unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 It should fit roughly with some modification, but i think it's a CANBUS head unit isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonj95 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Thanks for your reply and might sound stupid but I don't really know the difference lol :/ but here's a link to the 1 I was looking at just wanted somthing cheap for time being as I bought it without a radio https://www.gumtree.com/p/car-replacement-parts/vw-mk-5-golf-gt-tdi-radio/1166720939 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 it'll switch off after 59 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonj95 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Do you mean all the time or is that when you don't have the engine running and your just running it off the battery ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skezza Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 All the time, it won't receive a CANBUS signal and then switch off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted May 24, 2016 Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 I don't think a Mk5 radio would fit anyway as they are screwed into a Golf dash by four screws on the outer edge of the radio, so I think its physically too big to fit in the hole.

Leonj95 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 how could I change that then skezza so it does receive a canbus signal and would it be much in it as I'm not very good with electrics lol and as for the actual fitment I'd imagine it would only be the 4 lugs preventing it going in but will be easily removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there is no secure way of keeping it in the dash as it screws into the dash on a Mk5, it doesn't have any cage mounts you can use. By all means give it a go, but surely there is a simpler way of doing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
