does any body know what i mean? why wont some body tell me? i dont have a muiltymeter to see what voltages cables are...
I think the original guide (first post) should be changed to this as I've just wasted £20 + on a sat nav adapter and golf mk5 adapter. cheers.

Can I just advise that when you order the facia adapter, contrary to what's been posted elsewhere, you DO buy the little pack of clips. Believe me, it's not fun when your perfectly flush-fitted head unit suddenly falls out when you're accelerating. The plastic clips alone will not hold the unit in place properly.

Hi there,
Just recived my Ecomotive version. The stero is the large block but not the one for sat nav. I have tried to get a facia but they seem all to be left hand drive. Does anyone know where i can get a right hand drive one?
Basically I want the one that holds the standard head unit and has a shelf. Caraudio direct want 50 squid for both parts!!!! seems a little expensive
Thanks
Barry

if it is the double din unit with the pocket you are looking try david at sere.
cant post the link but do a search for the thread "double din face"

For some reason I find the posts on this site very confusing for what should be relatively simple. Having read through all the posts in this thread, I find myself still unsure as to what I need!
Please can I confirm, I need the following:
Head Unit (Double din)
Head unit to car adapter wire
Seat double din dashboard part. 1p2858063N87?
I don't understand the need for the Golf mk5 fascia, can someone explain? Also, I have seen on another thread someone bought a powered aerial adapter, is this another requirement?
Thanks!

Will the VW to ISO adapter as described in the tutorial allow steering wheel controls to work with a single din unit?
I have seen some single din units that say they aare steering wheel control enabled but will it need another adapter?

You need the mk5 golf fascia adaptor to go in between the SEAT satnav surround and your choice of headunit. the mk5 golf fascia adaptors are for either single or double din units, it depends on what you're putting in.
I have a mk5 adapter for 2 single din (1 stereo & 1 pocket) after taking my head unit out tonight it looks like im going to have to cut some plastic out (Bottom centre and possible at the rear to get it to push all the way back so everything lines up and fits flush
It sits about 3-4mm too high
Its as though i need to cut out where i have highlighted to let it sit 3mm lower but im really apprehensive about doing it!

Also the seat fascia didnt 'clip' in it could pull out easily and felt like it would come out under heavy acceleration etc. (without the VW 2x single din cage)
