nefarious Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 Just bought Lupo TDI with the Beta HU and we are looking into CD options.I have a New Beetle with the VW 6 disc changer in the boot and want to change it for an MP3 player so I was thinking of putting the changer in the Lupo.In the Beetle there is wiring to the boot for a changer but I doubt this is the case for the Lupo as the `in-dash` changer is an option. I guess I will have to run wiring to the back for the changer. Anyone have any experience of this and have any helpful ideas on the best way of doing this? Does the Beta HU have a jack or wiring ready to accept the changer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted June 2, 2003 Report Share Posted June 2, 2003 Is the Nefarious off EVO?My brother in law had wired a CD Changer into the boot of his Arosa, which is the same, I can have a word with himBut I'm not sure if the Beta will accept a changer...someone on here should know, though?

I did lift the boot carpet and start to remove grommets and bungs style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> but couldn't see anything, will look again properly next time.

beer monsta Posted June 6, 2003 Report Share Posted June 6, 2003 Hey Nef - good to see ya. In the earlier Lupo days the changer was a boot mount option - which (IMO) was daft as the changer bracket bolts to the back of one of the rear seats and fills half og the rear of the boot. I can check my garage I may have the mounting stuff still kicking around (cant remember if I threw it out or not).I actually removed my boot changer and brought the Blaupunkt 5disk indash changer which was ok, but not as cool as the VW single slot one.As for the wiring well if it is built like the Audi A2 then there will be no wiring at all, so you'll need to run them back. Mine ran from H/U down, under carpet along centre tunel, along carpet just under the rear seat to the passenger side, up behind the trim panel and into the boot area.

alexfernihough Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 is it worth the effort?whynot spend the money on a higher quality head unit with MP3?mp3 disks hold about 10 normal cd's worth and take up inly 1 stereo slot, plus you can then wire in rear speakers off the head units amp. and power up the standard ones better ising the head unit amp.The standard front speakers are quite good if you use a good enought headunit or a separate amp to run them.
