Just replaced my VW Beta Head Unit and Single CD player (with a bust display and a buzzing problem respectively) with a VW MFG Navi-G. So now I've got a more powerful amp, a 5" LCD display and, more importantly, Sat Nav. Works quite well, actually.
I tried out the fader function while messing with all the settings, and to my surprise, the rear speakers didn't work. So I unplugged it and put the Beta back in. They still didn't work. After much messing about, I finally came to the realisation that the reason the rear speakers weren't working is that I didn't have any rear speakers to work in the first place. The Speaker connector is empty on 2 out of the 4 pairs, and there's nothing behind the grilles. Evidently having not sat in the back much, I hadn't noticed. The Beta only supports 2 speakers, apparently.
So my question is: Is it worth getting some rear speakers? I could probably find some cheaply on eBay. Secondly, are they likely to be easy to fit, and should I try and bodge the wiring or buy the official VW install kit for ~£80 (apparently!).
