To remove the factory radio:
Remove the rubber anti-slip mat which you'll find in the tray on the top of the dashboard. Underneath the mat there are two Torx screws, these need to be removed. Once removed the top half of the dash will need to be pulled forward, use trim tools to release it and be sure to disconnect the hazard switch plug once removed, you will see two more screws, undo these to reveal the 4 screws holding the radio in place.
NOTE: This guide is for a Golf Mk5, not all VW vehicles require the same method of radio removal
A vehicle's dashboard is the focal point of the entire interior, car manufacturers therefore go to great lengths to ensure it looks stylish and innovative. That is all well and good until you want to upgrade the factory radio to a new aftermarket stereo. Alongside the necessary wiring adaptors Celsus provide fascia plates, plastic surrounds that sit around an aftermarket stereo and neatly match the original vehicle dash.
Aftermarket stereos come in three sizes: single DIN, double DIN and double ISO. All three are the same width, approximately 180mm, but the height differs. Single DIN radios are approximately 50mm high while double DIN and double ISO are twice that at around 100mm. Double DIN and double ISO stereos are the same, but the cages supplied with them have different heights of 103mm and 113mm respectively.
