Just purchased a 98 LE and really like it! Picked up an oem changer from the board classifieds and am interested in tips on install. Just plug in and screw in brackets? Remove larger underseat shroud to get at it? Sorry about the lightweight question - just getting started... couldnt find info in archives. Thanks for any assistance!

That's about it for installation. You get the under seat cover off, which is a few screws up front and a few on the side. The ones on the side also hold in the sill. Once it's off you'll see the brackets, one small wire and one cable under the seat. The small wire clips in for power and ground and the cable for the head unit controls. Then test to see if it works, which it should. Then put everything back. Should take about 15-20 min to install. Very easy!!!

Cheers Brian

By the way...congrats on your purchase.

Brian - Thanks! I've been active with a VW forum for three years for my Passat - enthusiasts are great, for whatever vehicle; got a whole new, great species to learn here - liking it more every day!
