Scosche VW03B Compatible with Select 2002 and up Volkswagen Power/Speaker Connector / Wire Harness for Aftermarket Stereo Installation with Color Coded Wires

Got this for my Mercedes Sprinter work truck. Added a new stereo and didn't want to cut into any factory wiring. This harness includes every single wire that could possibly be attached, in fact way more wires then there were on my factory harness which is fantastic because no matter what it'll have what you need. I just tore out all the wires I didn't need so I didn't have to tape them up or have them in the way. Either way worked out great

This harness comes ready to be crimped to another harness, what I like about this is that it came with a color-coded diagram of what each Color cable does and what wired to. The only thing that bothered me what is that it was missing a few cables and replaced with the brown cables and according to the diagram the brown cables were ground so I grounded them and it started to give me problems in my car so all the brown cables that come on the harness just cut them off take them off or something they don’t do anything, especially ground them. Besides that really good harness

Item arrived in a timeline manner and was exactly as described. Beyond that I honestly can’t say much since it was for someone else and not for my own use, but no concerns or issues to report.

I bought this for use in my B5.5 2004 VW Passat GLS. I was replacing the factory radio with an aftermarket unit. The Scoche adapter harness clipped right in to the factory harness and I had no problem connecting everything. The literature that comes with the adapter was very helpful, and the pre attached connectors were much appreciated and a very nice touch. Everything worked as intended … except the new stereo would not turn off when the car was turned off. We opened and closed the doors and locked the car and waited a few minutes, but the unit remained on. I looked around online and it seems that this is a common problem. The solution seems to be to run an entirely new cable from the fuse box, or to buy a harness with a computer board attached. I bought theMetra XSVI-9003-NAV Non-Amplified Non-OnStar Harness to Retain Accessory Power, 8.00in. x 3.15in. x 2.40in.On Amazon and the problem is fixed. It’s only $50-something and we’ll worth the investment.

Worked as intended. Plug & play for my Z4 . No issues. I would buy again !

I ordered for my daughters 2005 mini cooper s, I have installed many stereos in my life so i have experience. First off if there is needed information about the car such as the car has an HK sound system factory you need this or that, or do you need steering wheel control wiring so on and so forth. Now the radio I have cant be installed and I have a useless wiring harness in my bench stock. If you are messing with a euro car I suggest you go to crutchfield or some other car audio company to ensure you get the right stuff.

Here we go again...I bought a sweet Passat wagon with a stock cd player. Don't get me wrong the preamp and everything sounded great, but it did not have an Auxiliary input, and as we all know it is 2012 an CDs are just not cutting it anymore. I purchased a new deck through Crutchfield and was ready to install it and listen to those sweet sweet MP3s.Those German's know how to discourage you from altering their vehicles. I came to find that I needed this special attachment. As I searched throughout the internet, the solution was buying a similar connector that cost ~$100. I was not ready to drop that much more money on this endeavor. I came across this alternative and read that the only problem is that in order for the new deck to power on and off with the car I would have to rewire something or other to the battery and the ellipses started to roll...and the eyes started to roll to the back of my head...and I decided whatever.After I got the part, it was very easy to install, just a few color coded wire connections and then plug the connector into Volkswagen's connector and abracadabra I was listening to some lovely MP3s.I still have to Manually power on and off my new deck, but it is definitely not as bad as dropping a lot more money than I have.

Works with 03 MK4 GTI that had the Monsoon double din radio. (installed an aftermarket single din with this). Problem with MK4 GTIs is that the stock radio has some funky solid state thing that somehow turns on when the ignition is on. Don't ask me how it works. Long story short, you will have to run an ignition line from your ignition power to your radio in order to have the radio not be constantly powered, unless you want to remember to shut off your radio manually with the button every time. As long as you "remember" you won't have any problems with your battery dying.
