Rez. Only Ü60-interested ... :-) ..

For Radio already by the many satisfied Vorrezensenten everything worth knowing was told only a few additional words, the installation concerning, but only for 'Ü60-buyers', because in 5-10min how portray some reviewers, I was not ready .. :-).

Tuesday evening ordered, two days later the radio package was delivered. The same have ordered antenna adapter, although mail, on the other hand arrived until Saturday. The delivery distance I mention, because you better wait for the adapter if you want the radio for example, in a Golf IV, Bj.2000 install. The antenna is equipped with an angle connector, the antenna adapter offered is therefore imperative.

Those who want to enjoy music via the USB port, so you want to enjoy copied to USB Stick MP3 songs in the car from the PC, should the 16GB USB flash drive also order. I did not initially made, as some old USB sticks were available, however, 6cm long 'Ungetümer', ignorant of the fact that the price offered by Sandisk 16GB USB Stick, plugged on the radio, just 4mm! protruding; ie, in 4mm adapter plugged the 16GB storage, the total length of the USB stick is with the cap 20mm, so the stick disappears between the coins in the stock market, and he is plugged on the radio, almost not noticed.

Since after switching off the ignition and restart function all previously set by me transmitters (Radio again in factory default position / Demo mode) were gone, the two ignition / continuous positive ¯ lines had to be replaced. If any problems, since the connectors outside the supplied cable harness runs. Details can be found at the end! the user manual (Section German, page 14). Is my only gripe, the radio installation and removal instructions, and the instructions for line exchange are not at the beginning but at the end! the operating instructions.

Update 06.04.2013:
Since I was not happy after the installation of the radio with the reception quality, I searched the net for a solution to the problem. The search revealed that the antenna amplifier of the Golf IV for non-VW radios a so-called. Phantom power (hereinafter referred to as network and phantom power adapter) is required, ie, with the switch on the radio to the antenna amplifier via the antenna cable with 12 V is supplied. The adapter is plugged in between the antenna cable and radio. The blue cable of the adapter with the Kenwood isolated on the wiring harness supplied cable (blue label ANT CONT, reserved for an automatic antenna;. Is a 12 V switching Plus, do not use a continuous positive!) Connected. VW price of the adapter: 19, - Euro, Order #: 1H0 051 551 A.
