Called them and they booked me in within a couple of hours, same day. The install took less than 30 minutes. Very professional. Highly recommend!

FAQ
Volkswagen Golf car radio: questions people ask.
Answers for Golf owners. Something else? Message us on WhatsApp — we usually reply in under 5 minutes.
Ask on WhatsAppWhich Golf Android screen do you fit most?
The Mk7 unit, for 2012 to 2018 cars with Composition Media or the MIB1 Discover Media: a larger screen in the factory position that keeps the steering-wheel buttons, the parking graphic and the climate display, with DAB, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto built in. Mk6 and Mk5 cars get their own fascia-matched unit in place of the RCD or RNS radio.
How much does car radio cost on a Volkswagen Golf?
It depends on the generation. Mk5 (2003–2008): from €290; Mk6 (2008–2012): from €290; Mk7 / Mk7.5 (2012–2020): from €290. Fitting is done at our Dublin 11 workshop — send the reg and we confirm the exact price before you book.
Which Volkswagen Golf years can have car radio?
Mk5, built 2003–2008 (RCD 300 or RCD 500 CD radio; RNS 300 navigation, RNS 510 on late cars): Double-DIN Android screen with the Mk5 fascia, DAB, Bluetooth and a CAN adapter for the steering-wheel buttons and the multifunction display. Mk6, built 2008–2012 (RCD 310 or RCD 510 radio; RNS 310, RNS 315 or RNS 510 navigation): Golf-specific Android screen in the Mk6 fascia that keeps the steering-wheel buttons, Climatronic display and parking-sensor graphic, DAB and camera input included.

How long does car radio take on a Volkswagen Golf?
Two to three hours, usually the same day on the Volkswagen Golf Mk5, Mk6 and Mk7. You can wait at the workshop or drop the car in the morning and collect it the same day.
What stays factory when you fit car radio on a Volkswagen Golf?
On every Golf we work on — Mk5, Mk6 and Mk7 — the steering-wheel buttons, the factory amplifier and speakers, the reverse camera and the climate controls stay; the new unit adds wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB and a camera input.
Do I need to book car radio for my Volkswagen Golf, and is there a warranty?
Yes — send the reg or the year and generation (Mk5, Mk6 and Mk7) on WhatsApp or the form below, and we confirm the route, the price and the next free slot. The work carries a one-year warranty, and the workshop is in Rosemount Business Park, Dublin 11, Monday to Saturday.
