Default Hmm..not too many other things I can think of.

You might want to look for the illumination wire if you want your head unit to dim at night. Make sure the K-line is not hard wired to +12V otherwise you won't be able to use VAG-COM on your car, and make sure you install the right antenna adapter. The adapter should have a lead on it that you hook up to the power antenna lead on your new head unit.

The illumination wire and the K-line are easily identified in the OEM harness by looking at the diagram on top of the OEM head unit.

I got the antenna adaptor, however I haven't tried it yet. I don't remember another lead on it for a power antenna. I'll need to take a look at it - the Metra 40-VW10 is what I think I got.

Default The 40-VW-10 is not what you need...

you need a 40-VW54 which has the power lead connector.

Thank you 5speed6. I appreciate your help. Now I have to find one of those. There are none listed on eBay at this time.
