has anyone upgraded their stereos?

If he drilled out the original speaker pod rivets, maybe the old rivets are in the bottom of the door?

Hmm...maybe...I'll have to get him to check. But surely a small pieces left of riveting wouldn't be causing such a massive rattle rite? One thing I did notice today was after parking outside most of the day in hot sunny weather, it how has reduced some of the rattling whilst driving but you can still hear it when you slam the doors to close them. Ideas anyone?

I've just picked up these off ebay.

I'll remove the CanBus pins which won't be getting required, use the new HU's built in amp to drive the rears and a separate amp for the fronts.

By the way, I don't know if anyone has ever shopped at the Pioneer online clearance shop, but it's worth a look.
I picked up a 2 x 70 RMS amp for only $70 (freight is free!) and it was delivered within 2 days!

I can't see anything, the ebay links are expired.

**safetyman** · 06-02-2011, 03:14 PM

I've just refreshed the links with whats remaining at the ebay store as opposed to the one's that I purchased.

Other branded ISO adapters are also available. (Clarion, Alpine, Pioneer etc...)

Also have the part number for an OEM single DIN radio pocket that comes in the Polo Match 9N.

6Q0857058C1QB

Retail is $78 from VW.

Did you get the fakra=>DIN antenna adapter?
You only need the amplified version if you are interested in maintaining AM reception. FM works fine with a straight physical adapter.

A few of us here have used the generic Aerpro pocket rather than the VW one as it only costs $20. But it does need a bit of modding to fit and doesn't colour match the console plastic, exactly (it does colour match the OE RCD200 head unit!)

**safetyman** · 09-02-2011, 11:44 AM

I didn't get the amplified version, just the straight physical adapter.
I'm sure I'll be told the first time my wife drives to work and tries to listen to 2GB for the traffic report....

And regarding the OEM pocket, there is a second part number that goes with it.
As usual, VW have a rubber mat (Retail is $22.00) that sits inside the pocket to prevent things sliding around which has its own part number:

Hi guys,

Just wondering if anyone has had experience with installing the Eonon d5101 in a 9n3 polo gti?

ie. this unit: Eonon D5101 | Car DVD | Specific Car DVD | Car DVD for Glof/POLO

Ran into a bit of difficulty having it turn off and on with the ignition - seems to only turn on manually with the power button.

I'm a little confused as I was led to believe the included harness made it plug and play and didn't need any wiring into accessory power?

(for the record, I'm very newb with stereo installations, did one of these specific fit Eonon stereos on my Astra and it was pretty much no issues/plug and play)

Hope they're clear enough!

Total cost (not including the head unit): Under $50 (Removal keys for RCD200, ISO Adapter, Fakra antenna adapter)

Since disconnecting the power from the battery when fitting the subwoofer, I no longer have power when the key is in the ignition.
Does anyone know if this needs to be reset somehow?

No volts at the pin shown as "Switched" in my pic.
