well.. the black vinyl that u see in the picture. i got that replace with some better looking vinyl just do not have the time to up load new pictures. With the new vinyl it looks 5 times better. regarding the installed, i work at the good guys here in the bay area. The way they did it was cutting out a wood plate. then shave it down with sand paper. then they use ... i forgot what the pink stuff is called.. then wrap it with vinyl... The only problem that i am having is the navigation dont work . i have get a canbus adapter for the vss to work, which i am being lazy to get one. But... Every thing else is great!... hope this help

Hello JC C230K,

Hello LowCaliTi,

I would like to know how you wire the Alpine to your factory unit ?

can you explain.

Thank you

looks Good ...........

JC C230K

Dood, why are you trippen about wiring?.... All it's is if you do not have a bose system your ok. All you need is a VW harness and a vw antenna adapter and it plugs right in no... cutting the hirness or anything.. for the ivad300. that unit has a sepreate brain. thats the only hard part is running the wires from the brain to the unit. with the avn there is no brain... hope that helps....

bkmotor

Thank you for clearing up the mystery.

So, any model of the VW wiring adapter will works or need to purchase particular VW model? Again thanks for your help.

BTW, the CANBUS cable is only purchase with MBZ dealer's only, right ?

please post pictures of the new vynal and a few of the whole interior, so we can get an idea of how the dash look blends with the rest of the car

JC C230K

if you go to schosce is the brand maker... the model number is Vwo1b for the harness.. umm... and the canbus from soundgate. com i believe that is the website if not just search for it.

JC C230,

In regards to the brand schosce where I may go to get this plug?

Will Radio shack or Bestbuy will they have it ?

Also, I search the Soundgate.com they only offer the cd changer M-bus cable.

Do you know if I may use the MB factory Canbus cable to link up the NAV 2454 unit?

Thanks for your help.

JCC230,

I got my unit and the canbus unit from Eclipes corp.

I knew a friend who works there .. and as for the wiring harness and ant. adapter I got it from a local radio repair shop by my work. As for the install I will be working on it this long weekend..

However, last night I look at the center vent unit and was unable to remove it. any suggestion? I do not have the center scroll like yours.. can I just remove the two torx screws and pull the unit out , please advice.
Thanks
