I was thinking about replacing it with one with iPhone connectivity, and i was just wondering what you thought about Halfords radio offers and how long it would take for them to do the in store fitting?

Cheers

Try the main motors forum. This one's about having a go fitting/installing things yourself.

Hi OP

Unless halfords offer free fitting you'd be better off doing it your self.

Its a 2 minute job

Remove the old radio (key's only cost a few euro or it can be done with a few small nails for free but it can take a second 2 get them 2 click in right)
Remove the old cage
Fit new cage
Attach wires (you may need a wiring harness for this, cant remember what wiring setup VW's have)
Plug in aerial
Fit new radio and click into the cage
Fit face

Enjoy
