Thank you for this! I just recently bought this touchscreen radio for my 2009 beetle and after watching this detailed video on what needs to be modified I’m fairly confident I can do it myself finally. My only question is how to install the backup camera, do I need to modify anything or is it fairly easy?
I’ve started installing the camera but haven’t finished yet. Mostly because I haven’t had good weather to work outside. Hopefully in a couple weeks I’ll have a video showing what I did. Good luck!
Where are you staying in the USA? I live in CA and Can you come and help me in installation because most people don't know how to install this one. I have brought all those parts and 360 Cam.
I took the easy way out and bought it. Thanks for the comment.

They do sell just the dash piece. If I was to do it over I would also move the hazard up and not use the cover as I hate looking at it between the vents.
The very bottom of the bezel I ended up not screwing since it was so hard to get too. It has little feet in the kit but I couldn’t get it to work. With my upgraded dash/console I felt it wasn’t going anywhere. The wiring of the heated seats and emergency light keeps it pretty firm. I hope this helps.
@@eliaspeschke4173 not sure what you mean. I used a star screwdriver and a hack saw. Not sure it was right but worked for me. Glad you were able to print the part.
I was hoping for a video that would show a non mechanical person step by step instructions on how to change my rear speakers. I can't do the job if you only show me bits and pieces of who it's done. You already have one panel removed and the other you stop recording until it's out. I am going to start making real videos of my own. I'm a 70 year old widow not a car mechanic but most videos assume you know too much.
I’m not sure what more I can show. I didn’t show me lifting it out of the car but I did show what you need to do to remove the rear panel. If I remember correctly the rear seat moves around a bit to make it easier to remove the panel. Sorry you didn’t find my video helpful.

Thank you for this video, been looking for info on these for some time.
You are welcome. Thanks for the comment.

Sorry I’m in Montana. You should try and do it yourself. Just be prepared for a several day project. Good luck!
@@JohnHasABug thank you
Where's the video of you altering the bezel that the new radio went into.

What's up man
Do you know where to get parts
Like ac compressor the suspension
Most of my suspension and brakes came from rock auto. Compressor I paid a dealer to do and that was a disaster. Good luck!
I have an ‘01 also. I don’t know if I want this exact stereo unit. Do they sell just the dash piece?
They do sell just the dash piece. If I was to do it over I would also move the hazard up and not use the cover as I hate looking at it between the vents.
Hi!, I have a new beetle 2006, and it's the same structure. how did you screw the bottom of the dash?. becase there is no place where it can be screw
The very bottom of the bezel I ended up not screwing since it was so hard to get too. It has little feet in the kit but I couldn’t get it to work.

Hi, where did you get the brackets for the air vents ?
@@eliaspeschke4173 it came in the kit. If I remember right I ended up super gluing them in.
@@JohnHasABug ah okay thx. They are Not included in my Set thats the Problem Right now
@@eliaspeschke4173 if you look at the one you are replacing you probably could use the stock ones.
It Worked, i printed holders. Which Tool did you use to remove the holder of the ac ?
@@eliaspeschke4173 not sure what you mean. I used a star screwdriver and a hack saw. Not sure it was right but worked for me. Glad you were able to print the part.

@@JohnHasABug Thank You
Where did you get the center console ?
I bought it off a guy online. I'm pretty sure he got it from aliexpress.us. I'm super happy with how it came out. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Does it still works nice? And how is the screen in cold winter weather?
