Hello,
I have just purchased a 2006 Jetta that came with the old model radio, the one with the MIX button without the SAT option. I also purchased a OEM radio that was pulled from a 2008 Jetta with SAT option (the SAT button on the lower left side). I am a newbie in the car audio world so I will need some eye openers.
My questions are:
1 - Can I replace the old radio with the new one? Can I use the same harness that came originally with the 2006 Jetta?
2 - If radio replacement is possible, how can I install the SAT receiver (OEM form VW with Sirius)? Are any cables needed? Where can I put the receiver? I have read in the forums that the location for Jetta is in the trunk. Is 2006 Jetta pre-wired for the receiver or I have to pull some wires from the dash-board to the trunk.
3 - What kind of cables can I use in case the 2006 Jetta is not pre-wired for the receiver in the trunk? From where can I buy them?
Any suggestions will be more than welcome.
Regards,
Dorin
