Did you buy the cheapest option on the aliexpress link since you got your radio separate ? or you bought the option with the radio and got another radio because it was better?

The kit alone when I bought it was over 400.00. It's now under 100.00. I bought the actual radio off Amazon because tye Ali one didn't have some features that I was looking for, and my phone was newer that android 11 so that radio wouldn't allow for Bluetooth, wifi etc from my phone. As well as mirror link

Hi Billy! Very enlighting video. I have a 2007 beetle convertible, i want to know if you could use the cupholders after the instalation. Thanks.

@BillySwetnam

The 07 has them by the parking brake unless you have the full arm rest. My console is a 06+. Below the radio is a big square storage area with a mat. If you remove the mat you can use those turn in cup holders but for change etc. Not tall enough for a can.

great mod. how is the clearance with the shifter after the installation? and how good is the quality of the sound from the unit?

@BillySwetnam

Жыл бұрын

Shifter isn't bad at all. Sound quality is good. I have aftermarket speakers also. But friends who have their stock speakers have great sound as well. Just make sure the radio has an eq and you can adjust all of that. I have an android radio in y bmw and it sounds better than stock, but the one in my truck doesn't sound great.

Did the kit that you bought include a backup camera? I just bought a kit and it came with one, but I’m not sure where to run the wiring from the license plate all the way to the radio. I have an 09. Also I appreciate the video it helps a lot!

@BillySwetnam

Жыл бұрын

Yes. It's a process. Mount the camera and inside the trunk when you fold how the carpet and look behind the plastic there are rubber grommets. Remove one and run the wire into the trunk. Then you can run it under the backseat and either up the carpet and under the center console or under the backseat and tucked under the rear speaker area, then under the door sills up to the dash and over to the radio.

Does the newer stearind wheel fit in the old beetle? Can you use the funtions on it?

@BillySwetnam

11 ай бұрын

It physically fits, but the back of the beetle is round vs the squared shape of this one. Not really noticeable. It's pretty much plug and play with the airbag. Some new beetles have dual zone bags and some have single zone. My 00 has single zone but my 99 had dual. It's just another part of the airbag that deploys at lower or higher speeds. The plug is the same you just have to put it into the right spot. The steering wheel controls on the other hand were a pain. If you got a wheel without steering wheel controls you can order the add on kit which looks oem and pairs easy with the radio. Otherwise you have to buy the universal steering wheel kit add on and figure out the ohm ratings for each button. If you car is 02+ (I think), I know 06+ for sure, and has canbus, you have less of a pain with wiring because the wheel is canbus also. You have to use vagcom to program the canbus option for steering wheel. I had to shave the clock spring etc out for this one so I could use the wiring. Stock clock spring only has 2 or 3 wires. New one is 6 I think

How has it held up? Any issues? Are you happy with the audio quality?

@BillySwetnam

Жыл бұрын

Only issue I've had is my battery always dead. Turned out that the way the harness is wired it sends power to the antenna all the time. Which drains the battery. I unhooked the 12v constant and put it to switched and the same with antenna. The radio has external memory so it doesn't need the 12v constant. Haven't had a problem since. Sound quality I'm not really happy with. The radio alone I picked out from Amazon with features I wanted. But the eq doesn't have the option to adjust with bluetooth, hulu, Netflix etc. Only with fm radio and SD card.
