C2R-VW2 Factory Integration Adapter For Select 2002-Up Volkswagen Vehicles

I bought this to install a Pioneer AVH-5500BHS into my 2006 VW Jetta 2.5. First off, to clarify this is indeed the second version (blue) and not the version shown in the first picture of this listing. Now for the item: It made installation of my head unit easier than I thought it would be. The wires of the C2R all matched up color-wise perfectly to the harness that came with the Pioneer unit. I was confused initially about the Red, Orange/White, etc. wires coming from the group labeld "For Navigation Output" but by process of elimination I found those were in fact the ones to use (connect them to the Pioneer harness). After all the wires were connected, it was simply a matter of disconnecting the factory unit from the car, then connecting the C2R to the car. Couldn't be easier!

fit exactly as described made the installation a breeze, price was better then all others that i had searched highly recommend

Not much to say here, I don't even own the car that I installed this in anymore. It worked great for me for several years, never had a problem.

Used this to integrate my Pioneer deck with my VW. With this module, the radio behaves exactly like the stock unit, powers on at ignition, shuts off when the key is pulled, illumination dims with headlamps, etc... Without this module, there would be no way to get this, since the car does not have discrete wires for each of these signals.Also, the included wiring harness makes connecting the new radio to the car's existing wiring harnesses dead easy. I spent an afternoon with a crimp tool and the harness that came with the pioneer, and wired it up. No mucking about with cutting into the car's harnesses, this just makes it plug 'n play since it plugs into the connector that would have plugged into the VW radio.

Worked for a while, now it no longer recognizes the key is out of the ignition.Head unit does not power down with the key any longer.It is not related to the ignition switch.

Makes installing an aftermarket radio extremely easy. Definitely essential for aftermarket stereos. It is a bit tricky to get to fit into the space, but would have been much easier to fit if I had used a single-DIN radio.

Instructions were difficult to understand.

my model did not have the steering wheel controls and so the wiring was a little different but i was able to get to function correctly.

Tech did the install, but works great and was much cheaper than their retail price.

Product received as described and work perfectly
