For me, this install was very very easy.. used a standard METRA VW radio harness interface for the Alpine head unit put in, and from there wired in iPod and Sirius satellite with the AI Net cables.. then, tapped into the factory speaker wires at the factory amp harness under the hood (easily undone).. I know this meant slight modification but it was far easier than trying to rewire the whole car. Being that the battery is right there it was simple to run the RCA cables from the head unit to the amp and the power to the amps which are also Alpine. Everyone I spoke with about this said how hard it was and that you'll have to cut things behind the dash and run wires etc.. I had to do none of that and the only cutting I did was at the amp harness which I can very cleanly undo if necessary.
I suppose i'll show a pic or two and the obligitory car shot
I'm looking into new wheels now, probably Moda R6's.
