Anyone had issues getting audio systems put in?

Have had a mate try to put sound system in and failed. He is a mechanic/ auto electition and had a 06 polo and had no issues installing head unit etc apparently mines much harder

I have a 06 polo gti and i installed it myself. I installed a double din pioneer and reversing camera.

There wiring was a little fidly but eventually got it all working

It's not a dash out operation. Did he use the "key" to unlock the stock head unit?

Hey is a auto electrician/mechanix and was doing it as a favor maybe he just couldn't be bothered? And is telling me this? I've looked on google and the head unit comes out easy

Once you get the keys it is pretty striaght forward.
I ordered some on Ebay. Cost me $2. A mate even went down to his local VW and they did it for nothing.

He's either a mech or an auto-elec. Most unlikely to be qualified in both.

If riveted in speakers are causing him to stumble then maybe he's best to stick with alternators & starter motors?

Installed a 5ch amp + new speakers, wiring & sound deadening myself, not overly hard to do yet quite time consuming if you want it perfect, drove the car around like a gocart with no interior panels for about 2 - 3 weeks, fun times.
