full screen radio For New Beetle 

Im hoping to do a "how to" video on the next install. Just didn't have the time on this one.

@@hesty32 question if you do not mind. The models from 1999 to 2004 does not have the hazard and airbag signs in the top. Do you remember if there is something on the dashboard kit to fill those holes? Maybe this is only for 2005+ beetle models?

@@ealeman71 you are correct, as I mentioned in the video, I would just get a airbag light from a 2005+ from a junkyard or online and use it to fill the hole.

@@hesty32 Thanks for taking the plunge on this and showing what it actually looks like installed. Their site only shows a poorly-photoshopped version that's obviously not real. This may be the best option yet for putting a modern unit in a Beetle. I'm still a bit hesitant to commit since the relocated switchegear may be in the way of a manual shifter more often than they get close to an auto shifter. Are the modifications behind the fascia reversible? You mentioned cutting to free the climate controls... would love to see that aspect if you do another one.

​@@ealeman71there's a blank plug for it comes with the kit

The console comes with the radio I have not found tutorial on it.

Sorry no I’m down in FL. But check with your local radio store they might do it or a European automotive shop

Yes they are hot melted on. I drill them. Try to remove the plastic that is from the dash piece and not the vent. If you can save the “loop” (3 of them if I remember right) on the vent, it fits over a post in the new dash piece then a screw holds it in place

Just this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vhp-aoFh_O4.html

I’m a couple hours away up towards JAX. It does take a little work to install. One of these days I’ll get time to do an install video

@@hestermannmotorwerks wait you’re in jax? How much would you charge to install mine?

@@hestermannmotorwerks I just bought my kit and will be attempting install soon. Have you by chance,l done an install video or could you?

@@iliveinreality no sorry I haven’t had time to make an install video and I’m booked up til Christmas so it’s not gonna happen soon unfortunately

@@hestermannmotorwerks ok no worries thx. In your opinion, can the average Joe do this installation with no issues if they take their time? How long roughly, a few hours?

I added a license plate frame from Alpine with a camera. They carry them at www.crutchfield.com

@@hesty32 A reverse camera is suppose to show how far away are the objects from your rear bumper. How about the one from Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback (aftermarket unit made by JIAYITIAN)?

I have not had that issue. Do you have a monsoon set up or standard?

Monsoon

Also was wondering if the volume settings run high. Mine seems to need to run around 40 for a descent volume. Thanks for your feedback

Did you replace the back speakers? Difficult to find out but the monsoon system uses 2 ohm speakers. Putting a 4 ohm speaker on it will have very little volume. 2 ohm speakers are kind of hard to find

@@hestermannmotorwerks I did😞. It came with its own crossover with a +2gain but I guess not enough. I guess it would be better to have stayed with stock.

this was for a customers car so I don't have any long term feedback unfortunately.

Yes it will work but you will have the hazard switch hole and the pass. Airbag light hole to deal with. As I mentioned in the video, you can either attach a blanking plate or just install those items from a junkyard or eBay source. The actual stereo wiring may have a couple small differences also

98-2005ish, the hazard switch is on the lower console with the defrost and seat heater buttons. Mid 2005-2010 the hazard switch moved up to the area between the HVAC vents and the pass air bag light was added

It’s on Amazon, Walmart and other places online

sorry I don't have any information on that
