Hi,

To change from factory to aftermarket radio what parts would you need? I'm a little unsure. I know you need ..

1.headunit
2.harness adaptor
3.radio removal key ( though I hear you can use a paperclip)

then after that I'm a little unsure.

Thanks
 
Maybe an ISO adapter for the cables.

EDIT: And a fascia surround if the golf you have doesn't use a single DIN sized radio as standard.
 
What year is the Golf?

1999 - Present you'll need a fasica adapter, wiring kit and aerial adapter

1992 - 1999 Aerial adapter

1984 - 1992 Nothing

EDIT: Should say, that is typically what you'd need and the info is from the CAD vehicle selector
 
You'll only need a fascia adapter if you want to fit a double din head unit - the Mark IV Golf takes a standard din unit. If you have the fascia mounted single CD or 6 disc changer you will need the little cubby hole to fill the gap. I got mine for free from the dealer where I bought my car as they often have them lying around from cars where they have fitted a CD player afterwards.

Mine is surplus to requirements now as I refitted the original head unit when I sold the car. If you need one let me know and you can have it for the postage if you can't get one anywhere else.
