    You should check out spares at VW there's a new head unit out that will fit straight into all mk4 vehicles. It has Bluetooth built in, USB, SD slot worth looking at as a factory upgrade. These unit are an extra for the new UP's. sorry forgot the unit code.

    The guy at Autobarn told me I needed a European ISO wiring harness with a female plug, but what I actually needed for my Golf MK4 was a male plug so keep that in mind.

    Depending on the head unit you go for, you might also need a car antenna adaptor. I installed a Pioneer unit, and I used this to connect my antenna:

    you should be able to buy a connector that plugs into the cars wiring loom and the other end to the new head unit's wiring. it will match the wiring order avoiding a lot of cutting and soldering
