    Very doable. What car is it going into?

    MkIV Golf - Still running cassette haha..

    I'm thinking of selling it soon so hopefully it won't get laughed at too much with half decent sounds..

    At least you won't need any facia adaptor for it to fit. You will need a wiring harness adaptor AFAIK.

    This should match the blue lighting in the golf. Also has Bluetooth.

    This one has cd but not Bluetooth. Might be more desirable to whoever buys your car

    You can buy those above. It replaces the radio you have in the car now.

    Another one here. Like the first one but without Bluetooth.

    Yeah but they charge. It's a piece of cake to do.
    You don't need a wiring adaptor or a facia adaptor. Very straightforward.

    They charge €35

    I wouldn't bother with speakers unless your old ones aren't working.

    Right, thanks a million, will have a go installing on the weekend. Ah, passenger side flicks on and off, probably just wiring loose, have to take a look at it.

    Cheers for help colm_mcm

    One last thing. On the wiring harness there will be a yellow wire and a red wire. These will have bullet connectors on them. You will need to swap these around so the radio will go off when you take the key out.
